Best GPU for Q9300

[a12345a]

For use in 768p. Which GPU is best for me? I think RX 460 will make bottleneck. If it will be big difference, i can change my cpu with other 775 pin. Like xeon x5460.

BTW which is the best 775pin cpu ? (max 50 dollar)

Q9300 is the top of the line for that socket, changing it to a higher one won't be much different.

You can use RX460 with it, cap the framerate to 60fps and it won't bottleneck.

The q9550 is pretty good and usually stays around the $20 mark, it'll make a pretty nice difference due to the large cache that it has. Highest end gpu that I'd pair up with one is probably a rx 570.

Just grab a Q9300 and a used 7950. Generally cheap as hell and probably the least idiotic purchase if you're still investing in 775 for whatever reason.

Are you sure? There is some similar examples in youtube. For example he is using Q8300 and rx 460 it makes bottleneck. And i will use in 768p not in 1080p.

The thing is you will use 768p, with the RX460 in that resolution will perform more than 60fps.

Now the bottleneck is you CPU, to lower the bottleneck you can limit the framerate to the point that the cpu can handle.

I assume you have a 60hz monitor, so limiting the FPS to 60 is a good way, with a vsync for example.

There will always be a bottleneck either from the cpu or the gpu.

Q9300 vs 9550 at best only 5% difference. Really not worth it.

I've upgraded a q6600 to q9650, not much difference tbh.

All the talk about bigger cache really can't feel it in real world.

why not go 1080p? basic 1080p monitors are cheap as hell.

This is what I would do as well.

i already have a 768p monitor that i do not use.
