My processor is AMD Phenom 2 X4 965 BE 3.4ghz.
Planned to get MSI GTX 650 Ti Boost 2gb.
Without overclocking can I get the full power of GPU.
Thanks advance bro
 
Well, since the GTX 650 Ti Boost is an entry level card, I expect that for the most part your system will not be held back too much by your other components. You really don't have much choice, since I wouldn't recommend anything lower than a GTX 650 Ti Boost for any system, anyway.
 


the 650ti is not entry level, and is a really decent card.

it's toms own sub 200 recommendation, so I wouldn't be so dismissive. It will give high settings in Battlefield 3 at 1080p so as I said, entry level it's most certainly not. With the OP's system, this would be a good balanced match, and give some life to his system, which is still decent for med-high gaming.

to the OP, your CPU is fine for the GPU and will not bottleneck, if that's what your referring too!

enjoy :)
edit: just saw your second post......with a 660/ti you may be pushing it without overclocking the cpu. Saying that, it won't be a missive hit, with those cards your talking a few fps extra per 100mhz overclock. Not much difference between 60 fps and 65-70 IMO.
 
without oc no you have a mammoth bottleneck Strangely for a cheap board that thing oc's very well
333 fsb is easy on that board.

3.6Ghz or bust, all the best I hope that helps. my 5770 put out more frames the more I oc'd the more frames I got until about 3.5 Ghz on that board I could only get up to 3.6X but it was stable

I just put the MSI GTX 650Ti Boost OC edition in my rig with a Phenom II X4 980... flawless. I don't do my own benchmarking but it is hands down the best bang for your buck under $200 right now, and I can personally vouch for seamless performance with a Phenom. You can crank your 965 to 980 speeds no problem, or even higher with the right cooler. Only downside is the obvious power consumption inherent with Phenoms, but they still rock with the latest graphics cards.
