Hi guys

 

I got an older pc with:

An amd 9850 phenom quad core BE @2,5ghz

Foxconn a7da n15235 motherboard
4gb ram @800mhz
psu 400W
I am thinking of buying a GPU. Will a GTX 750 ti be bottelnecked by this setup? Or should i wait for the GTX 960? Or can a I buy a better card that can run on this 400W psu?

This setup is for playing games like: war thunder, wot, BF3, GTA5 if it comes out. I know i will not be able to play on max settings, but do you know how much fps i would get?

ty in advance

 

 

ps: i know you dont like to hear 'bottelneck' ;)

Would be better to upgrade pc, i3 will bottleneck less than that old cpu.

But if you can't upgrade then the 750 ti is the best suited as all amd is too power hungry.

Also if you can OC your cpu a good bit as that 2.5Ghz will be really bad for poorly threaded games.

Also get a EVGA FTW or simmiler 750 ti don't fall for the cheapo ones unless you don't have any pcie power.

With 750 ti you should be able to get near 60 fps on medium or high settings on modern games.
