Help :) about bottleneck

[NoobFritz]

im planning to buy GPU tomorrow please help me to pick decent GPU that wont bottleneck each other ,just want to max out dota 2 with good FPS running at 720p, 1366x768 resolution
 

my choices are: r7 250x and r7 250 or if you can recommend better GPU let me know  (TIA)

Procie: a6-6400k
Ram: Kingston Hyper x Fury 4gb x 2

What's your budget?

[NoobFritz]

4k-4.5kphp around $100

[sapphirethunder]

For that price I would say NVidia GTX 750/750Ti

[JoaoPRSousa]

If you can, get a 750Ti.

If you can't, get the cheapest 2GB R7 250X

[NoobFritz]

the question is 250x wont bottleneck each other? or i should buy lower graphic card?

[sapphirethunder]

If you can't, get the cheapest 2GB R7 250X

 

I think it may be better to get a R7 260 instead in that case.

You should be mostly fine without bottlenecks at those gpu's performance level.

 

If you were to get something like GTX 760/660TI, then you would be seeing bottleneck.

 

GTX 750/750TI/R7 260/250x should all be fine still.

i can stretch my budget but im lil bit afraid cuz i dont want to waste my money because of bottleneck

[Johannes_Lazor]

The GTX 750ti or the R7 260 are your best bets.

Im on a  gtx 660 and it has about 10% better performance than the r7 260x and GTX 750ti
I have not tried DOTA 2 but i think it can max it out.

i have the same CPU as you, I have a overclock to 4.4 Ghz on the stock cooler
so if you cant max the game out try overclocking it to 4.2 or 4.4Ghz, But yous hould check the temps so they dont go over 65 degrees C, I reach 57 degrees C at full load(skyrim maxed out full of texturepacks, ENB's and stuff)

But i get bottlenecked in most games with my GTX 660, But lowering the shadows and draw distance while pushing more AA and pure graphical effects balances the load.

Well, GTX 750Ti might come close to bottlenecking but it has been used with worse cpus and hasn't seemingly had any serious bottlenecking.

If you want to play it safe, regular GTX 750 should be best choice.

[NoobFritz]

hmm  gtx 750 is more expensive like $10 than r7 250x <3

[NoobFritz]

maybe im good in sapphire r7 250x 1gb 128bit ddr5, i dont want to overclock my a6 6400k, so it wont bottleneck right?

[sapphirethunder]

GTX 750 also has higher performance and less heat output. Thus resulting in cooler temperatures. If it's only 10$ more, even if only 20$ more, 750 would still be better choice.

i think gtx is nvidia and r7 250x is AMD

there is no compatibility issue when using nvidia gpu in amd cpu?

[harrynowl]

A 1GB R7 250X is absolutely fine at that resolution.

[NoobFritz]

it doesn't affect performance even a bit, you are good to go with it.

ok then i'll go with gtx 750, can i have another question? cuz i stretch my budget to get gtx 750, i cant upgrade my 600w psu to corsair vs450

my question the 600 generic PSU can handle my whole unit for 1month? hahaha

a6 6400k

4gb x 2 ram

500GB HDD

+ gtx 750 or even r7 250x lol

[kameshss]

750Ti is really good when comparing to others. Get it

Well, 600W psu is a bit of overkill, but yea, it can easily handle the build.

It's not like you need external power on GTX 750.

It gets all power from motherboard so you're fine to go with it.

i got 600w generic PSU hahaha

No problems, My system draws about 300 watts at max load,

but your system will only draw about 150-170 watts at max load.

Even a generic 400 watt PSU should handle it without failing.

[NoobFritz]

hope so hahaha im planning to change my PSU after 1month
