i just bought n built a amd athlon x4 740 pc with a 7850. Based on your advice the cpu is holding the gpu back. minimum on Battlefield i get around 15/19 fps. i was hoping not to upgrade to a bigger card if i got the 7850 (used). but it appears i will have to spend money now.
I am only doing this to be able to play Battlefield 4 at 1080. Don't care about the eye candy as long as i get above 30fps minimum on a mixture of low and medium if possible.
so my QUESTION IS, instead of getting a core I3+ motherboard n Case, Could i just get a gtx 760(7950 is too big and doesn't fit in my case) and even with the bottleneck obtain above 30fps at 1080(since my 7850 1GB gets 16fps )? It would be easier to sell my 7850 than the Brand new Athlon x4 740 & MSI Motherboard i just got this week.
Or will the 7850 1GB edition handle the game above 30fps if i get the core I3? ( if so, that would be better due to power usage. GTX 760 would draw more than a core i3 upgrade) Please don't say to get a I5. I can't afford it. Especially since i mainly only play Battlefield and hardly ever buy games. I used gamefly for my ps3 awhile back. So i can't justify the $$$ for just one game.
any thoughts?
