is the intel i3-530 compatible with the gtx 750?

Solution


Well they will run together but the i3 will pull back the performance of the 750. I3 4th gen will do the work for this gpu they aren't that expensive though.

The CPU does not matter. If your motherboard has a PCI-e 2.0 slot, then yes, it will work just fine together.

The top slot is a PCI-e slot for a graphics card.

i know that but im only 15, and whenever i want to change a part i need to ask my dad 1 million times, and if i run up him and say " dad, i want a new motherboard, cpu, graphics" he probably tell me to go take a hike

It matters if its to old or slow it can slow down the gpu for example my i5 3350p is always running its four cores at 100% in games and the 770 is at 95-96 usage that means the i5 can't get the potential of the 770.In this situation it doesn't matter by much but it will be better for him one i3 3th or 4th gen for the 750.

i have an old 1280x1024 screen so that is resolution, settings at least medium but if it vant then low at 40+ fps
(BTW i have overclocked my i3 530 to 3.5 if that matters)
specs:
i3 530
gtx 750
4gb ddr3
 


There is no way that a GX770 would be bottlenecked by an I5 3350. And bottlenecks can occur even when a CPU does not appear to run at near 100%...

Well it matters ofc well you can play smooth on high-ultra imo i played bf3 once with gt 610m and some old intel cpu(not even an i3) pentium yes and 3 ram i played the game at medium-high 1336x786 at playable fps so yeah maybe even ultra at that res give it a try at ultra.

Well i'm not sure cause my 770 isn't performing as it should also many ppl says that the i5 3350p bottleneck the 770 so its should be an bottleneck imo. Also in one cite it says that i need i5 3th gen unlocked for full potential from both chips.
