Can this rig can run BF4,Crysis 3.

aakarshan · Aug 25, 2014

Rig:

Intel i3 4130
Asus H81 Mobo
AMD R7 250 Gpu
Corsair VS 1600 MHz 4 GB
WD Blue 500 GB
Antec VP 450
Keyboard and Mouse - Logitec MK 200
Monitor - Dell E1914H

Can this rig play BF4,CRYSIS 3,GTA 5 and these newer games on high settings.Note the monitor is 720p.

In short, I would say no. A better GPU would help tremendously though.

logainofhades :

Is i3 will be enough to play these games.Is my Gpu will bottleneck.
Can i upgrade on i5 later.

Its the graphics card. It will do those games on low though, maybe medium. Here's some benchmarks where it did 45fps on medium in BF4 http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/XFX-Radeon-R7-250-Core-Edition-Video-Card-Review/1848/8

plywrlw :

So, is 13 4130 with 750 will do the gaming.

logainofhades · Aug 25, 2014

GPU is definitely the bottleneck here. I would upgrade your GPU first. An HD 7870/R9 270/270x would be about as high as I would go with that CPU and PSU. Anything higher and you are going to need to upgrade both for sure.

I wouldn't imagine so, you may just scrape by at the lowest of settings with AA off at 720p.

All of these titles (Aside from GTA5, unknown as of yet) are fairly demanding. Especially Crysis 3, even at the low presets.

For starters, invest in a better power supply. The VS series is pants and/or used for office PC's.
Pour some more money into the GPU. A 270 or 270x would get you to where you need to go.

If you can afford to dump some more money on a better board and CPU, then that would work in your favour.

plywrlw · Aug 25, 2014

Yeah your setup will run on low-medium. If its lagging or stuttering a GPU upgrade would be first on my list. You could run an r7 265 with that PSU or get a better PSU and upgrade to an r9 280x. If the new r9 285 turns out to be really efficient you might be able to run one of those on your PSU but we don't have enough information on those yet to say for sure!

At last i can go to 750Ti.So, a 750Ti with i3 4130 can do gaming.

plywrlw · Aug 25, 2014

The 750ti has slightly weaker performance than an r7 265 but is a good match for that PSU you have!

Make sure you sell your old r7 250 as they are still a popular choice in htpc's

Regarding the CPU vs GPU debacle. I already see a fundamentally flawed recommendation in this thread regarding the "balance" between the CPU and GPU.

Any CPU and GPU combination can potentially be valid and well utilized if the workload created by the resolution and settings and game conditions and expectations of FPS all fit into place.

The i3-4130 is a perfectly valid CPU for a wide assortment of games and can be paired with ANY GPU configuration and achieve acceptable results and good utilization as long as the FPS goals and workload created by the visual quality settings are well matched to the bounds created by the CPU.

The R7 250 @ 720P, R7 260 @ 1080P, and the R9 280 @ 1440P will all produce about the same FPS if all other conditions are equal. The compute workload changes very little for the CPU between these 3 configurations, so there is no reason for the i3 to be any more or less well suited to run any of these GPU configurations. Whether or not the i3 sets the pace of FPS desired by the end user is an issue that will apply to ANY of these GPU configurations. If the User wants more FPS and the bottleneck is the CPU, sizing the GPU up or down can never "solve" that problem.

Point I'm making here, is that when people say "don't bother with more GPU than an R9 270, or GTX760 for your {insert weaker CPU here} configuration, they are placating to a from-the-hip set of mysticism about CPU and GPU matching that does not exist. Size the CPU to the compute workload created by the desired FPS and game conditions, then size the GPU to the render workload created by the desired FPS and visual quality settings. Don't try to "size" the CPU to the GPU, or the GPU to the CPU, it's a pointless endeavor.

While that's true^ That debate rages on purely due to a money standpoint.

There's little point, for example, in pairing a 780TI with a 2 core Athlon, you'd be straight-up wasting your money.
This is why people debate on a good all-round setup, such as listed above, the i3 and 750ti @ 720p will be a pretty good combination.

By all means invest more in a GPU, whichever CPU you pair it with it will still be better than the model below it FPS-wise, but there comes a point where it caps and you're just wasting money.

Yeah I was "sizing" to the OP's wallet and PSU!

VS series is Corsair, and they have an Antec.

Dafuq, could have sworn it read VS650.

Either way, it's equally as pants.

logainofhades · Aug 25, 2014

We were having that debate in another thread. :lol:

In fairness, both of the original posts do look similar xD
