i know there will be a bottleneck but i want to play games like call of duty mw2 , black ops2 , resident evil 6 , dead rising 2 , dead pool , battlefield 3 ( the most important game with any fps)

i played this games with very good fps with hd 5450 1gb gddr3 (ex: deadpool on ultra , mw2 on ultra )

plz anyone tell me if it can handle the R7 240 1gb ddr5 because iam going to buy it soon

thanks

It can maybe handle it, but not well. The processor is going to seriously bottleneck that card to the point you will be very disappointed in the results.

but i just want to play bf3 on even low setting i think it will run good dude whats ur opinion
 


The CPU has nothing to do with the settings. The settings only adjust visual quality, which is handled by the GPU.

http://bf3blog.com/battlefield-3-system-requirements/

As you can see, the minimum requirements state that you have to have at least a dual core CPU, and that won't do very well either. Even if your other hardware was top of the line, the game still wouldn't be playable because the CPU couldn't handle it.
 


Please do some research before posting things that may confuse people.

Those two cards can run BF4 on high with very playable fps: http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/radeon-r7-265-vs-geforce-gtx-750-ti-which-is-best-for-1080p-gaming.

The CPU yahia hamdy has only has a single core, which nowhere close to enough for almost all modern games (excluding Minecraft if that can be considered modern).

Conclusion: There would be a massive bottleneck.

but i ran cod mw2 and re5 and dead pool on ultra with hd 5450 and i got a very good fps with this cpu, i saw videos who is playing bf3 with p4 and hd 5450, i didn't try the game bec. i dindt't download it but now i have it, as i saw on youtube i think i can run bf3 on low to medium at 720p and if i must to lower it i can lower it i have no problem, but thanks u all for the reply i don't matter to play this game on high or even ultra, if iam playing this gme iam happy :) and if u don't believe me about the game run smoothly on hd5450 and p4 there is the link watch it everyone and answer me about ur opinion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_BwRYo3JZY
this is 5450 what about the R7 240 1gb ddr5 i think it will be good on low - medium with 20 - 30 fps (that what i think) and i don't mind with bottleneck , soon i will by new new cpu (by the way : my mobo is g41mt-s2pt rev2.1)

Well the reason nobody believed you because 15-20 fps is not usually considered playable :D

i bought the card guys and i got in bf3 30-35fps on high setting on 720p sometimes there is fps drops but the game runs perfect
mw2 on ultra setting v-sync on 20-30 fps alan wake A.N 20-3-fps on low setting battlefield bc2 +30 on advanced setting v-sync on
dead rising 2 20fps on ultra setting Iam Alive 15-30fps on ultra setting outlast i think more than 30 on ultra setting because it doesn't lag at all :) horaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay i can't belive this i can play these games on ultra setting hell yeah :D i swear this is true
