Will 650ti boost work smooth?

dante1092 · Nov 11, 2013

Hello everyone...i m planning to buy a galaxy or zotac built nvidia 650 ti boost edition....i'm currently using a 9500gt on c2d e7500 2.93ghz...also going to buy a corsair vs550 ....will the gpu work smooth in my rig? pls correct me if i'm wrong.....

Yes it will work smooth with your rig. But only thing to worry about is that your Cpu is more likely to be bottlenecking the 650ti. So upgrade your cpu (And motherboard if needed) as soon as possible.
To run games smooth, your cpu and gpu should be equivalent, if either one of them is noticably better, then it will hold back your cpu/gpu.

Thanks for your advice dude...and one more doubt...you said my cpu will be bottlenecking...how i will be noticing the bottlenecking in games?....and regarding my needs...i dont play in ultra quality with full AA and i just want a playable fps in games also now i am running a 9500gt from which you can know how poor my fps will be in new games...i just need to play in my full resolution i.e 1600x900 with some texture settings as high...thats all...will it satisfy my needs...

The term your cpu will bottleneck your gpu exactly means that your cpu isn't that good enough to be equivalent with your gpu. And it will hold back your gpu to some extent (or even less, not much to worry). With your cpu you can play games with low to medium settings (games of 2012-2013) but with your gpu you can play those same games with medium to very high settings. ( provided in both cases that they have an equivalent cpu/gpu). So all I am saying is you will be able to play games at medium settings even though your gpu is strong enugh to max them out. A word of advice, if you are getting an hd 7850 at same price range then go for it rather than chosing 650ti. You might be an Nvidia fan but you have to be practical. an hd 7850 will give you noticably better performance than 650ti. So go for hd 7850 if the price is same. Go for 650tiif the price is less.

Picture this, you are buying a GPU that can peddle a bicycle and there are different speeds that different riders can go based on their power. Now picture your CPU as the bike itself. Even the faster rider won't be able to go faster if they are on a bike made for a toddler. Put that same rider on a bigger bike and they go faster. Now put a less fast rider on the same two bikes. The slower bike rider may go just as fast as the faster rider on the smaller bike but once they are put on the adult sized bikes the faster, stronger rider will clearly pull away. Hence if the rider and his bike are not evenly matched the output will be effected substantially. Now also picture this, there are many different adult bikes as well but there are Wal-Mart bikes and pro bikes that are 100x the cost. However there is a point at which the bike wont make the rider faster, it will then rely solely on the power of the rider him/herself. This is the easiest way to think about computer bottlenecks. The GPU will want to go 100% of its capacity but might be limited by the CPU it has to go "through", just as the rider can peddle and peddle but only goes as fast as his bike physically allows. In gaming you want to allow your GPU to perform without any hindrance, aka a bottleneck, and for each GPU there will be its own certain threshold. I used to have the GTX 650 ti Boost and paird it with both a i3-2120 and a i7-3770k. Neither of those were bottlenecks btw. Also the i7 didn't change the FPS whatsoever. If I had gone down to a Pentium, who knows, maybe it would have been bottled but maybe not. Hope this analogy helped.

You should also upgrade you cpu and motherboard as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot for your advice dude....i m going to buy a zotac 650 ti boost because here hd 7850 costs more than 650ti boost...and i will definitely be upgrading by cpu and motherboard in month or two....

Thanks for explaining the term in detailed manner ....it really helped to know the logic...i think i'll also be buying a i5 ...cheers
