| 1329820 | 2013-02-25 07:15:00 | Hi all. I'm currently building a gaming PC I have all the parts I need to have a fast running gaming PC but when it comes to Graphic Performance I unfortunatly know very little, the specs I am running are as below: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P AM3+ m0b0 4.0GHz 6-Core AMD FX-6300 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM 650W PSU was just wondering which card would be best for the system so i dont end up bottle knecked? I'm on a budget of $300 give or take $40 so if these cards are no good feel free to suggest anything else under the $340 mark. Thanks. Daffy |

| 1329821 | 2013-02-25 08:23:00 | www.anandtech.com 650ti performs better. IMO the 7850 ($299 iirc) is the best mid range GPU. |

| 1329822 | 2013-02-25 08:28:00 | pricespy.co.nz is probably the best gpu you can get for under $300. A 2gb 7850 would be even better and more future proof but would cost about $310 which would definitely be the best way to go. |

| 1329823 | 2013-02-25 09:29:00 | ill take a look at those, will they bottle neck the system running a 4GHz CPU though? i'm hoping to get all the performance i can squeeze from my budget haha Thanks Daffy |

| 1329824 | 2013-02-25 18:08:00 | It will bottleneck the cpu slightly but not much. The 7850 is one of the best value cards so you will get really good performance for your money | jonovw (16835) | ||

Daffy Sorry mate, but your FX CPU is already a bottleneck....it gives up 25% to the equally clocked i5 @ stock on the same card. 4809 Single thread speed is still king when it comes to gaming....the 8 core FX 8350 is already running at 4Ghz, the intel are at stock and easily run at 4.5ghz, a full 1Ghz more than stock. |

| 1329826 | 2013-02-25 21:06:00 | I think perhaps almost 200 fps on skyrim is playable. I agree it's not the best choice of cpu but the OP already has it and is asking about graphics cards not cpus. His 6300 will still handle most games just fine. As for what to buy, for gaming always the fastest graphics card you can afford. The 7850 is a good option, check www.tomshardware.com best graphics cards for the money article but you'll need to check local prices. |

LOL, that was an example to show CPU bottleneck, not GPU!.....that was on a 680, to show what various CPUs do with GPU.....so that CPU will alway be a bottleneck...get it? |

| 1329828 | 2013-02-26 01:33:00 | Oh I get it, but his cpu will only be a bottleneck if he buys a graphics card fast enough to exceed the frame rate limit imposed by his cpu and none of the cards in his budget are likely to do that so it doesn't reslly matter. The bottleneck will still be graphics for most if not all games. | dugimodo (138) | ||

No, data is feed to the GPU via the CPU period, the CPU will always be limited in the data it can throw quickly enough to the GPU whether or not the GPU can process it ie; the CPU will always provide 25% less than the Intel at stock no matter what GPU is used, ie: the user will only get around 75% of the power of the GPU when the resolution or AA, eye candy setting etc stress it! |
