The old i5 2500 was known to be able to feed three GPUs so there is no issue here with your newer CPU.
Hey guys,
As the title says:
I'm planing to buy a new computer sometime but I think that I may stick with my old computer and just upgrade my GPU!
So, I plan to stick to 1080p gaming but I fear that the CPU might bottleneck the GPU - Should I buy a 1440p monitor to remove the importance of the old CPU ?
