Performance of GTX 750 ti with Intel Core2Duo

gaggudeep · Apr 7, 2015

I want to ask if these two will be a good pair for gaming (don't want ultra graphics) with 2 GB RAM or I should look or 2 GB more RAM and a cheaper gpu. The processor model is Intel Core2Duo e4600.

Note: Don't want to buy a new processor because of budget issues as I have to build a new CPU for it.

They will do OK together. The 750Ti maybe a tad strong for it but can be used later when you upgrade platform

They should be fine. If your really on a budget then don't buy the factory overclocked versions, only buy the stock clocked ones since your CPU will most likely bottleneck that card a little bit.

What about upgrading to 2 GB more RAM and a cheaper gpu?

rolli59 · Apr 7, 2015

What OS? If win 7 or newer then more ram.

gaggudeep · Apr 7, 2015

Win 7 64 bit

I have a Q8400 + GTX750Ti. Its not a bad match. That been said, imho you should go this way:

imho you should use pcpartpicker.com/ and check for incompatibilities

Yep go for more ram and cheaper GPU. Even GT 730 DDR5

not worth it IMO, you might see better performance in games , but you will be bottlenecked pretty badly.
I would get an AMD 5800k (or any other decent AMD A series)
and a cheap mb for ~50$(for example : http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-A68H-Micro-Motherboards-GA-F2A68HM-HD2/dp/B00TTOKAQC/ref=sr_1_12?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1428423378&sr=1-12&keywords=AMD)
plus a cheap memmory (http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-1600MHz-Non-ECC-HX316C9SR/dp/B00N8H07TG/ref=sr_1_9?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1428423770&sr=1-9)

and you got yourself a worthwhile platform upgrade that you can in the future just add an amd R7\9 250\ 260\270 and get good performance for a total of less than 180$ (30$ more expensive than an 750ti) If its too expensive you can get a slightly cheaper cpu, look for 2nd hand ones.
Any cpu these days will deliver over twice the performance of an old e4600 ,even the dual core ones.

with your cpu i would not go over an hd 5750 \ GTS 450 so if you decide to stay with it just get one of those from 2nd hand.

Please provide me with most suitable components available in India because many of these are not available in my country.

gaggudeep :

First of all , what is your current graphics card?
if its anything close to an 8800GT i wouldn't bother upgrading.
If not , then get a 2nd hand 8800GT\9800GT for like 25$ and save your money as anything over that is just not worth it.
or you can get one of the newer low tier gpus like the 730.
I think your best option will be saving a few more bucks for a new platform because the e4600 is really outdated.

Not worth it GT 730 or R7 240/250 from AMD

Budget and country should be in the original post my friend. This would spare us some time.

Go for the following:-

GPU -> GTX 750TI (Rs 11000) -> http://fkrt.it/So0WYTNN
Processor -> i3 4130 (Rs 7700) -> http://fkrt.it/So~XDnNN
RAM -> Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB(Rs 2670) -> http://fkrt.it/m6P90ZNN
