Bottlenecking & PSU

[akshayghai29785]

I have a i5-760 with gt 430 & planning to ugrade to new GPU maybe 570 or 7850.

Will 7850 bottlenecked by my processor??
What is the PSU which i should look for??

Your processor won't bottleneck anything short of a dual-GPU card.

I would recommend the 7850, as its pretty cheap right now depending on how much you are willing to spend. Here's a good setup with a 7850 that saves you alot of money:

Look for PSU's by name brands (Antec, Seasonic, Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, XFX)

Out of the two, GTX 570 is around 18-20% faster. So if you can get it at the same price, go for that one. However, you should also look at GTX 660, which is a decent card at similar price range. It competes with HD 7870.

Both HD 7850 and GTX 660 would work with this PSU:

Ok here it goes i am getting ATI 7850 in 15500-16000 INR
Getting Zotac 570 at 18500 INR
Getting Zotac 660 AMP edition at 17444(yet to come to market)

Which one you recommend. Also will using gt430 as dedicated GPU for phsx on pcie 2.0X4 will help or not

 

[Sunius]

Using GT 430 will not help.

It really depends on games you're going to play. GTX 660 is a little bit faster, but is it worth the extra costs? That's up to you to decide. Read this article:

Just out of curosity wanted to know does the factory OC GPU perform better & made better or they are same just OC from factory??

 

[Sunius]

They usually have cherry-picked GPUs, those that OC better.
