a gtx 960 can play witcher 3 medium settings 60 fps at 1080p


BUT you will need to upgrade your cpu to at least a proper i5 compatible with your motherboard though

Then buy the 960 mate - stick with the 2gb version at that res though.

Your CPU is old but still half decent - it may not make full use of the 960 but you'll definitely be able to game at medium to high settings with it.

The 960 is a sensible choice for you - as would be the 950 if its considerably cheaper.

Bottleneck is a subjective term , I don't like to use it personally.

You will be 'cpu limited' - what this means is that on newer titles that rely on raw CPU power as much as the GPU you may be limited to around the 40fps mark.

The 960 will let you play at high graphical settings at your resolution - just do not expect a solid 60fps on every game & you will not be disappointed.

yes it will bottleneck

and fps drops yes because that would not be enough cpu


at the resolution you want to play at 2gb is enough
