Will the Gtx 760 bottleneck a Intel Pentium g3220?

Theminecraftaddict555 · Jan 12, 2015

Title says it all and the games I will be planning to play on will not be BF4 or Crysis 3

theonerm2 · Jan 12, 2015

You mean will the Pentium g3220 bottleneck the GTX 760? It will in some games such as Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, and Pretty much any of Ubisoft's new games..

ihog · Jan 12, 2015

No, if anything it will be the other way around.

Theminecraftaddict555 · Jan 12, 2015

should i go for a r9 280 or gtx 760

theonerm2 · Jan 12, 2015

Theminecraftaddict555 :

An R9 270 would be a better match for your CPU.

Theminecraftaddict555 · Jan 12, 2015

would that be a good upgrade from my 250x ddr5 2gb gpu?

theonerm2 · Jan 12, 2015

Theminecraftaddict555 :

It would be a huge upgrade from the R7 250.

Theminecraftaddict555 · Jan 12, 2015

r7 250x not 250

iamlegend · Jan 12, 2015

That is not a better upgrade, G3220 will still bottleneck R9 270. Your current set-up is OK. You need to upgrade CPU 1st and then GPU.

Theminecraftaddict555 · Jan 13, 2015

How huge of a bottleneck is it? Again I am not playing BF4 or Crysis 3 nor will I ever plan to in the future

iamlegend · Jan 13, 2015

Oh, if that so, maybe you will be the few of those people who will have a set up like that and maybe you can try it by yourself. Afterall G3220 is not a bad CPU.

Theminecraftaddict555 · Jan 13, 2015

Yeah is it okay to just upgrade to a r9 270x and then get a better cpu like after a few months?

iamlegend · Jan 13, 2015

How about getting a good CPU for now and get a GPU later?
Invest your money into a good CPU only and don`t get GPU yet.

ihog · Jan 14, 2015

iamlegend, the same thing will occur if minecraftaddict upgrades his GPU now and CPU later.

Theminecraftaddict555 · Jan 14, 2015

^ very Plausible (not a computer expert here but yeah plausible)

iamlegend · Jan 14, 2015

What was that again ihog?

Coolboy951 · Jan 14, 2015

the pentuim will bottleneck if its at 3.2 if you can get it up to 4.0ghz than it will not even bottleneck a 280

Theminecraftaddict555 · Jan 14, 2015

iamlegend :

If you read it you will get it

theonerm2 · Jan 14, 2015

If you need better performance now it would be best to upgrade the GPU to an R9 270. http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=94193&vpn=CGAX-R927614&manufacture=Club3D&promoid=1315

It's at a price where it really isn't worth getting a slower card and it's not worth the added cost to get one that's a little better. You will see a performance increase with this graphics card even with your dual core Pentium but the card won't reach its max potential until you also upgrade your CPU. It's the best deal I could find. upgrading the GPU now is the best move you can make with what's on the market today... But there's another option... You could upgrade your CPU now to a Core i5 and then wait for the GTX 960, 960 ti, or 965 ti. Those GPU's could launch by the end of the month.

Theminecraftaddict555 · Jan 14, 2015

yeah i might just upgrade it to an i5-4430.

Coolboy951 · Jan 14, 2015

Theminecraftaddict555 :

if your gonna play games go with a fx 8320 its cheaper and runs better on multi threaded games the i5 4430 only beats it in the single threaded performance

Theminecraftaddict555 · Jan 14, 2015

Ok lets add that fx 8320 to my mobo that only supports lga 1150 intel cpus

.......No but seriously my mobo doesn't support any amd cpus

Coolboy951 · Jan 14, 2015

Theminecraftaddict555 :

oh i see its a shame but go with the i5

Theminecraftaddict555 · Jan 14, 2015

yeah i think it would do well for gaming with r9 270

Coolboy951 · Jan 15, 2015

Theminecraftaddict555 :

yeah it would
