Will Intel G3258 Anniversary Edition Bottleneck the GTX 960?

Palnetz · Apr 6, 2015

Hello.

I am on a really tight budget here and I am trying to follow this build guild:

http://www.pcgamer.com/pc-build-guide-budget-gaming-pc/

There is one thing that they did not point out: Will the Intel G3258 A.E. bottleneck with the GTX 960? (Specifically the Palit GTX 960 reference, it's cheaper for my budget)

Thanks!

Note: I won't overclock anything.

The Pentium will definitely bottleneck the GTX 960 in almost all new titles, without overclocking. You'd need to OC quite a bit for it to work without any bottlenecks with that card. You might consider an i3 for it to not bottleneck, what is your budget?

MeteorsRaining :

My budget is less than $700... I said "really tight budget" because prices here in the Philippines are more expensive.

So it will bottleneck... Well, will it bottleneck on the R9 270X, my reserved choice?

Not much, it may still bottleneck on very well threaded games but that will be only minor and not really noticeable.
