I have a computer that has ati radeon hd 5850 im going to get a new graphics card, but i want that it wont bottleneck alot/never bottleneck, because i have intel core 2 quad q9400 cpu @ 2.66 and 4gb of ddr2 800mhz, upgrading to 8gb. Im just wondering would radeon hd 7970 bottleneck or should i get a radeon r9 270 and overclock it? And im not plaing in full hd im playing with 1600x1200 resolution. Thanks

Your best bet is a R7 260X, R7 265, or 750 ti. HD 7970 would bottleneck it I believe :p

there will be a bottleneck, but from a 5850 a huge performance difference.

Going for a R9 270 will have a small bottleneck, though if you OC your CPU, that would pretty much eliminate that factor.

Reason for the bottleneck is because your CPU is much slower then even an i5 2500k, 20%-30% slower;
