Looking for a gpu

Assassins Creed Altairs · Aug 21, 2016

My pc specs are:

Processor:Intel Pentium Dual Core E5700

Motherboard:Intel G41-M7 v1.0

Ram:8 GB

Power Supply:500 watt

Hard Drive:500 GB

Monitor Resolution:1600x900

So what kind of GPU can I add in my pc

The GTX 750 Ti is probably the best you can use w/o getting into CPU bottleneck. Possibly the GTX 950 or R7-360. It will depend on the exact make and model of your 500W PSU. They aren't all created equal.

Can I add a gtx 750ti and can I play ac unity,syndicate at ultra high settings at 1600x900?

Assassins Creed Altairs :

I seriously doubt the aging dual core and the mid-range gfx card can get more than medium settings and still be playable. Even at 1600x900. Here's a video that purports to be playing at 720P (1366x768) on Ultra. The poster says it didn't feel smooth. And he's using a Ivy Bridge quad core.

Can I add a gtx 950?With this card can I play ac u at ultra settings at 1600x900?

genthug · Aug 22, 2016

At that point your CPU is going to limit your playing instead of the GPU limiting it. You're not gonna find ultra settings on that setup. Med-high at 1600*900 but that's looking at it glass-half-full.

Assassins Creed Altairs · Aug 23, 2016

But I read other posts in this site.There I find that Intel Pentium Dual Core E5700 bottlenecks even gt 520,gtx 650.In that case a gtx 750 TI or 950 must be bottlenecked by the processor.So how much the processor bottlenecks the gtx 950 or 750 TI.It is bigger or not please tell me.

clutchc · Aug 23, 2016

CPU bottleneck is a vague thing. It depends on the game/game engine. If the game is CPU bound or GPU bound. And CPU bottleneck isn't always a deal killer. If occasional CPU bottleneck occurs, overall it is still better to have the faster card. Yes, the GTX 950 may get you higher framerates than the GTX 750 Ti in single player mode, but multiplayer gaming on a busy server needs more CPU horsepower.

How fps can I get in ac unity at 1600x900 with gtx 950 at default settings or ultra high settings?

Assassins Creed Altairs :

You would have to ask someone with the same system you have, the same monitor, and who also has the game.

Assassins Creed Altairs · Aug 24, 2016

Can I add a gtx 960 4gb ddr5?Can my motherboard support gtx 750 ti or gtx 950 or gtx 960?But in this site at another account a poster told me that gtx 750 TI is over than my PC specs?Does a GPU depend on what?If I add a gtx 950 or gtx 960 can it work or it is a waste of money.

Assassins Creed Altairs :

A couple of years ago I added an R7 250 to my old computer, it's an e5200, G31 chipset. I had no issues with it being compatible, put it in installed drivers and all worked well. However even that GPU is limited by the CPU, and your e5700 is only a slight improvement. So, YES, anything more than the 750Ti is money wasted. However the more powerful cards will still work, but the chances of lag spikes increases as the size of the bottleneck increases.

Assassins Creed Altairs · Aug 25, 2016

So a gtx 750 TI work more than gtx 950.

pete_101 · Aug 25, 2016

Assassins Creed Altairs :

They would both work about the same. As the 750Ti should be cheaper, it would be the better choice.

Assassins Creed Altairs · Aug 25, 2016

If I add a gtx 950,can I get better performance than gtx 750 TI?Can I get better fps at gtx 950 than gtx 750 TI?

genthug · Aug 25, 2016

Only if you add a better CPU. Without a better CPU, you will not notice any difference.

Assassins Creed Altairs · Aug 25, 2016

Can I get even 1-5 fps more at gtx 950 than a gtx 750 TI?

pete_101 · Aug 25, 2016

Assassins Creed Altairs :

Why spend a lot more money to get an extra frame or two? Yes, it's possible that in some benchmarks you may gain a little, but in real world games you won't, it's also possible you will have a lot more lag spikes too. As I said earlier, even the 750Ti is more than your CPU can really handle, but it will work....so unless you are going to upgrade the rest of your system sometime shortly, there is no point getting anything more powerful than the 750Ti.

Assassins Creed Altairs · Aug 25, 2016

Ask me a gigabytes best gtx 750 TI?

genthug · Aug 25, 2016

I wouldn't look for the best, i would look for the cheapest. Your CPU is already going to hold the card back, don't spend extra money on a better GPU when it's not going to be used to it's "better" potential.

pete_101 · Aug 25, 2016

I have to agree, find the cheapest card you can because you're never going to get the best from any card. Where do you live? If you're in the US, buy this card and get the rebate, very good deal http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121896&cm_re=gtx_750-_-14-121-896-_-Product
Edit, Damn, it just went out of stock, it was $70. As I said, find the cheapest card you can and be done with it.

Assassins Creed Altairs · Aug 26, 2016

I live in Bangladesh.

pete_101 · Aug 26, 2016

Ok, I just had a quick look at prices on a couple of Bangladesh sites. The cheapest 750Ti I saw was 11,500. I did also see the R7 250 at 6,800 for the 1GB and 7,500 for the 2GB. Personally I think the R7 250 would be a better choice as it's cheaper and as I already told you, my old Pentium e5200 can't really use the card to it's full potential, so your e5700 won't do much better. It's totally up to you how much you want to spend, but unless you upgrade the rest of your computer, it's not worth spending more on a better card.

Assassins Creed Altairs · Aug 26, 2016

Can I upgrade my CPU?

pete_101 · Aug 26, 2016

Assassins Creed Altairs :

Not really. It's your motherboard that limits what CPU you can use, and the best it can take isn't much better than what you've already got.
