Hey guys,

 

Looking to replace my old graphics card which just died (9800GT). I'm running a fairly old system, just wonder what graphics card I can run without bottle-necking.

 

Mobo: Asus P5KPL-CM http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5KPLCM/

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300

 

I was thinking of R9 270, but don't know if my legacy motherboard or CPU would hold it back

 

Any ideas guys?

 

Thanks!

A 270 would work fine.

You can update to any GPU, just make sure it's not bottlenecking your PC.
