Yes, you need quad-core for those cards to run wild. 4890s included.

E8400 beats the PH 9550 gaming wise.
That's besides the point, a Q9550 would be a great upgrade from an E8400.

Assuming he gets a good chip and he is willing to keep i at 4.0 GHz 24/7. Our solutions are overall better than an overclocked E8XXX to 4.0.

Guys I'm just wondering, would a Q9400 bottleneck two 5770's in crossfire?
I'd like to know if I'd have to overclock the Q9400 or not, though I most likely will I just wanna know if the 2.66GHz will be enough.
Thanks in advance

It'll be better than the E8400, probably wont bottleneck. I'd still get a 9550, honestly.
