AMD A4-3400 + Nvidia GT 730 = Bottleneck?

Yasuo_Iro · Apr 7, 2015

Hey guys!
I'm planning to buy a GT 730 to replace my integrated GPU.

My system specs is:
OS: Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit
CPU: AMD A4-3400 (yeah, a old cpu)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-A55M-DS2
RAM: Elixir 2x2Gb ddr3 @1600Mhz

The question is, will the gt 730 going to bottleneck my cpu or it will just going to be fine? (why did I ask, because my cpu is quite old)

Or is there a better alternative for gt 730?

I'm only using my PC for light gaming. I dont play in high settings.

And I can't afford to upgrade my cpu for now. I'm still a student and the price of pc parts here in my country is quite high.

Please help me. Thanks.

No major CPU bottleneck there. And GPUs don't actually 'bottleneck' CPUs. As long as the CPU allows the GPU to work at near 100% usage when needed, you can't get any more out of the card. Bottom line, you are good.

I see. Thanks.

And can I ask again?
Is the GT 730 a good entry-level Graphocs card? Or is there other entry-level graphics card that is better that GT 730.

Yasuo_Iro :

It depends on what you want to spend. Entry level GPUs: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-2.html
Anything more powerful and we will have to be sure your PSU can handle it.
