Hello, I need to know if a AMD A10 7800 would work well with GTX 970 ?

I was planning on buying this graphics card for Christmas but I am concerned it would be unstable or bottleneck because of my CPU.

My current setup

ASUS A88XM-A Motherboard
AMD A10 7800 Processor
GeForce GT 740 Graphics card
16GB DDR3 1866MHz RAM
780W Power Supply

Unfortunately I cannot currently afford to update my CPU or motherboard. This is why i thought a good graphics card would defiantly help.

I am currently playing Doom 4 it plays quite well but sometimes it lags.
I have Mafia 3 but i have not played it because i know my GPU won’t run it.


Perhaps can you tell me any other PCI based graphics cards around £230.00 pounds ($280.00 dollars) that would work really well with my A10 processor ?


Thank you

When choosing a GPU, you do not need to consider the CPU. If your CPU is slow, it will be slow no matter what GPU you pair it with. Just go with the best performance/price GPUs. A quick look around benchmarks on anandtech will give you the answer.

Just make sure you upgrade that CPU since you will definitively bottleneck anything above a R9 460 or GTX 960.
