Thats your current PC right?

[Shd0w2]

How good is the current kingston ram? 1600mhz?

[Vbgf]

I would go for a lower end probably some kind of AMD chip and a higher end GPU.

[Rashy]

Thats your current PC right?

No.. my current pc is in my profile.. you can check it out.

 

How good is the current kingston ram? 1600mhz?

Yes 1600 DDR3

[Vbgf]

BTW what resolution are you trying to push?

[Shd0w2]

Nevermind...

[DyGr00339]

Why not go AMD APU, and save money?

[Rashy]

BTW what resolution are you trying to push?

Im going to stay in my current which is 1440x900

Oh like the AMD Richland A8-6600k one?

Well, more like the A10- 7850K I belive the name is

[Vbgf]

Well then on my HD7770 i push almost full max every game at 1280x1024 which is simmilar to your res. I would go for a R9 270 non X and some cheaper CPU like FX6300.

Not quite familiar with the AMD

WOW A 6 core that is cheaper... i'll try that but the r9 270 is a budget breaker

I just lokked at your current CPU, it's decent enough to carry you 1 more year or so.

 

If i were you i'd just grab the 270 with no additional stuff and trololo to everything full max out goodness!

The fx6300 is a great cpu i say but hey still the r9-270 is  a budget breaker

I know the CPU is good and the combo is too expensive, i get it. Go and get the GPU ONLY , won't that fit in your budget?

It will but many says it would Bottleneck my pc.. I know bottleneck but i dont know the effects

[Rashy]

Many LTT users are rich and have old gpu's stronger than mine.. i just wish they would give it away rather than throwing it away :'(

[flibberdipper]

It might bottleneck. Pretty much, when you hit a bottleneck, in a game, the CPU will be pinned to the wall, but the GPU won't be (like CPU @ 100%, GPU @ 60%).

Ah so if i have a titan then i play bf4 on ultra it still lags?

[Vbgf]

I don't believe that a dual core @ 3GHZ with 4gigz of ram will bottleneck that card that heavily. Still , you will max all the stuff on that res at probably + 40 fps.

I'm committed to do FULL upgrade.. so i dont get bottlenecked

With your current CPU, the Titan would be worthless. It would get to a certain point where the CPU can't keep up with the GPU, and you'd have to live with it. Let me find a video on YouTube about it real quick.

 

EDIT: I think this is the one.

yep, the bigger the gap between a cpu and the gpu, the bigger the bottleneck. Your PC will always run as fast as your slower component for a certain task. And in most games the gpu plays a bigger role, the cpu is fine, not great but fine. It's no single core 2ghz cpu y know.

How does he make his lips like that

I don't think you want to know. :blink:
