Hello Tomshardware!

I know my rig is old now but I don't have the money to upgrade to 1150/2011

i'm planning to buy a ZOTAC GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition 4GB or ZOTAC GTX 960 4GB for my core 2 quad (Q9550)
I have 8Go ram and 2,8 Ghz And i want to play on games at 1920x1080 resolution
Will there be a bottleneck and how much?

Thanks guys!
 
Solution
Pretty much anything greater than a GTX 750 Ti is going to have a bottleneck from the old CPU from one degree to the other. The only way I'd get a GTX 950 is if it were substantially cheaper than the other two. Even then, you might want to look at a GTX 1050. Same price range, slightly better performance.

What do you think about GTX 950 2GB ? Will there be a bottleneck and how much?
