Non-bottlenecking gpu for core 2 duo e4600 for gaming

gaggudeep · Jun 20, 2014

I want a graphics card that won't bottleneck my cpu. I am a casual gamer. My PC specs:

Core 2 Do e4600
Frontech ATX P4 450W PSU
Zotac NVidia GEforece 210

Don't tell me to upgrade processor coz i don't have budget for that.

well any gpu will do. You wont bottle neck your gpu you will just have diminished returns depending on what game you are playing. we need to know what your budget is.

GTX750Ti

RS 12000 - http://www.flipkart.com/msi-nvidia-geforce-gtx-750ti-2-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdtpaatsqpfghr

It'll be a hell of a lot better than the gt210 and needs 380W max. But I wish youd' get a better power supply eg
RS 5000 - http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-s12ii-520-watts-psu/p/itmd5xz5hzvzt9cx

The psu seems sketchy to me. But maybe a gtx 750Ti, and there will probably be a slight bottleneck in more cpu intensive games.

Budget 10 to 12K?

How about gtx 650 ti? tea urchin

Calnin :

Calnin but on another forum a guy told me gtx 750 ti could bottleneck upto 50%! I mean that's huge only half the performance.

gaggudeep · Jun 20, 2014

i7Baby :

No, it will do fine on 450W supply found on a review.

i7Baby · Jun 20, 2014

Bottlenecking is only guesswork. It depends also on the application (game).

gaggudeep · Jun 20, 2014

i7Baby :

So you saying that i will run fine on non-cpu intensive games? But for just information how much will gtx 750 ti bottleneck on previous 2-3 years game as per fps and percentage?

Calnin · Jun 20, 2014

If its a gpu intensive game, then there will be minimal bottleneck. The key words from what i see are "up to" meaning it can be 1% or it can be that 50%. It's all dependent on the game you play and maybe the resolution you play on. If you want something that'll play everything with minimal bottleneck go with tea's suggestion, the gt 640.

How bout gtx 650 ti won't it do?

MalakiArtook · Jun 20, 2014

id say get a 750 that does not require a 6 pin power connector. gt640s are overpriced

gaggudeep · Jun 20, 2014

MalakiArtook :

How bout 750 ti?

Calnin · Jun 20, 2014

The 750Ti does not require a power connector either I believe.

MalakiArtook · Jun 20, 2014

gaggudeep :

same thing. as long as to does not require a 6 pin I'd think you will be ok. I'd look into a new psu though. that thing is most likely a fire hazard.

Calnin :

some do, some dont. the msi twin frozr is my personal favorite as far a 750tis go

But it's above my budget.

gaggudeep · Jun 20, 2014

Isn't gtx 650 ti bang for buck as it's performance is quite similar to 750 ti or 750 ti is worth the extra 1-2K? Please suggest.

gaggudeep · Jun 20, 2014

Calnin :

Are you saying that any gpu I buy, but if the processor is below recommendation for app (game) PC will bottleneck in the app?

Calnin · Jun 20, 2014

It's more or less diminishing returns like someone above said I believe. It'll just hit the peak of the curve a lot faster than cpu like an i5 or i7.

But I believe it's still application based.

gaggudeep · Jun 20, 2014

Will the 750 ti give more performance than gtx 650 ti as it is costly than the latter. IS it worth extra 1-2K

i7Baby · Jun 20, 2014

The 750ti is about 30% more powerful than the 650Ti. So yes - its worth the extra 1-2k
