i have a 3200+ venice core at 2.0ghz, just wondering how high should i oc it so that it won't bottleneck the card

As high as you can get it stable
seriously though, I have my venice running at stock right now cause I'm waiting for my new water block and I don't feel like my cpu is a bottleneck.
If you really want to know, just bench (n REAL games) and compare your scores. if there isn't that much of a difference between the two scores, then you're not really being bottlenecked that badly.

At stock it won't bottleneck it. But still OC a bunch.
