Compatibility issues

[Hugosjlin]

Hello! 
I have an old home built computer that has served my demands relativly well. My old graphic card has broken and is beyond repair from my side Im looking to buy a new one. I was looking to buy a 570 or 580 but im not sure if my Cpu will bottleneck it. Both my PSU and my motherboard are compatlible 

Specs:

Cpu: Amd FX 6100 6-core

Gpu: Amd XFX 7800 2gb

Psu: Corshair 650

Ram: Corshair venegance 8gb

Ssd: Kingston 240gb

Motherboard : Asus M5A97

Both will be heavily bottlenecked by your CPU.

What would you recommend me getting in that case? I am concidering upgrading my cpu at some point aswell

theres no load requirement listed

so no there will be no bottleneck of any sort

What do you mean with load requirement? First time i’ve had this problem

Yes, only basic games, however I would like to play some more demanding games like Rust and CodMW

there no tasks listed that you do so I assume you don't use the computer in which case there will not be a bottleneck. In order for a bottleneck to exist you need to task the machine with something

Basic gaming and possibly rust and CodMW

I mean an RX 570 or 580 would be a huge upgrade, the issue is that awful CPU. If you were going to get either card, you'd have to pretty much plan to do a platform upgrade immediately to make the card purchase worthwhile.

then yeah buy the 570/580. even if it did bottleneck it doesn't matter as you just move the gpu to a newer machine in the future anyway.

not like you have to throw the gpu away when you buy a new machine

Is there any card that would fit better, that still has good preformance?

Not really, any GPU made after 2011 will be heavily bottlenecked by your CPU.
