Graphics card for pentium g840

Makkfej · Dec 13, 2013

I would like to ask your opinion about which graphics card would be best matching my processor. I was thinking about these: AMD R7 260x, R9 270, R9 270x
Nvidia: GTX 650 ti, GTX 660
Which of these would be the best for me?
Also, which has the best price/performance?

What games do you play and what is your budget?

The 270x, 270, and 660 (in that order) are all significantly faster than the 260x and 650ti (non boost version).

I will play games like Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Bioshock infinite, Black Ops 2, Crysis 2, etc.
All of these fit in my budget, but I can't afford a new mobo+cpu now so i want something that is good and my cpu won't bottleneck it.

pentium g840 can handle 7850/650Ti boost without massive bottleneck effect..

I suggest you to buy better processor if you wanna go with better graphic card that that..

Makkfej :

g840 is a decent sandy bridge dual-core CPU. Most games are massively GPU dependent, so if you can afford all of them, I would get the 270x. If you notice CPU bottlenecking, you can always upgrade to a faster i3 or i5 later. Worst case is you won't get better FPS with a 270x than you would with a 260x, but that's going to vary by game and might not happen anyway.

I don't plan on playing cpu intensive games like Total War Rome 2 and Starcraft 2, so i hope you're right.
I plan on upgrading to an i5 4670k or a broadwell one when it comes out, but now i don't have money for it so until then i will have to stick with my current cpu.
Thanks for your advice, i hope you will be right
