The best gpu that my i5-2300 won't bottleneck ?

Sahir Dizdarevic · Jul 31, 2014

I want to upgrade my gpu, so, now i have this pc :
CPU = i5-2300 2.8ghz(Turbo boost 3.1ghz)
GPU = Gtx 460 1gb ddr5 direcU II oc edition
RAM = 8gb
MOBO = P8H61-M LE
PSU = 620W Seasonic

So please, which gpu would be max, when i say max, i really want max gpu that is possible on this configuration without any kind of bottlenecking and without any other changes.

Thanks everyone who helps

Your budget?

Depends on the games you play and at the resolutions you play at. TBH though I cannot think of a game where that CPU will stop you getting above 60fps in any given title. And therefore any GPU would work with that config - the R9 280 is selling for a very good price at the moment and is a large jump up from your 460.

My budget is big, so i would pay for best gpu that would be the best with mine other configurations, without any kind of bottleneck. But i dont want to upgrade anything else, only gpu. And if u ask me for games.. Battlefield, Call of duty, the best shooter games, and something like that

..
Optimus u sure that r9 280 won't bottleneck my cpu ? Or gtx 760 directU II oc edition ?

people are running 290x's and 780's with fx6300's/8300's. and the i5 2300 is as fast or faster than any of those amd cpu's. So you could pretty much pair anything with it.t is your monitor resolution? what is your budget? something like a gtx770 or 280x can run most games at 1080p with high-max detail settings.

Resoulution is 1680x1050, i forgot it to write, sry

Your i5 won't really bottleneck a single higher end card.
If you want Ultra settings with toned down extra effects you can get a R9 280X or GTX 770. For complete max settings then R9 290 or GTX 780.

I thought to buy Asus GeForce GTX 760 DC2OC new ofcourse, so then this card shouldn't bottleneck, and would be fine for me 3-4 years ?We talking only about gaming nothing more

I would say the GTX 760 will last 2-3 years.
