Best gpu for a8-5600k msi a58-e33

[rvmva]

I'm using sapphire 1gb ddr5 gpu. And, I'm planning to upgrade it. What do you think is the best fit for my cpu and mobo?

Or should I save money for a new rig?​

[Aytex]

No point in even buying a GPU

Save your money for at leaste a 750 ti or a r7 260x

 

Other than that, Low end gpu's are not worth it

[Paytend01]

Low end Gpus are not worth the money, like at all

[DigitalHermit]

Nothing above a 260X or 750Ti...

Nothing below a 250 or 730...

 

Edit:
What GPU are you exactly using???

if you are running windows 7, right click your empty desktop, click change resolution, then click on the little advance settings button. then tell us what the display driver (gpu) is

Oh, yeah right, sorry I forgot. ​Radeon r7 250 1gb ddr 5

you COULD get an r9 390 or 380 and after that slowly save up for a new motherboard and a CPU, that will require abiut 250 (considering if you want an i5 4460 and a decentish mobo)

Yup... don't invest in a new GPU yet...

 

Save up for a better overall system... you can re-use your PSU, HDD, GPU, and case...

 

I suggest switching to an Intel-based platform (nothing lower than an i3 though) before going out to buy a new graphics card...

[don_svetlio]

R9 380 is what I'd get. Though your current card is not terrible.

[Prysin]

for that CPU, 750Ti or 950.... i wouldnt bother with AMD GPUs simply due to CPU overhead crippling the cards. you want as much performance as you can get. So Nvidias drivers should let you get that with a 750Ti or 950.

This is probably a stupid question but uhm, Is 390 compatible with my mobo?

welcome to the forum

 

you can use with the A8 5600k without see any bottleneck

 

at max a R9 380 / 280X / 285 / 280 / 7970 / 7950 / 7870 / 7850

 

 

(is similar to the 860k on this table) - (there is no need to buy a new rig)

I don't understand what you mean by "AMD GPU simply due to CPU overhead crippling the card"

I think he means the work requests from the GPU to the CPU, in layman's terms. If I recall correctly, AMD has a bugger problem with that than nvidia. (Not a huge problem, mind you.)

Thank you sir. So, I can get any of these gpu without any problem?

sure, let's see the cpus at close

 

A8 5600k is have 4 cores (this is why we can skip a big number of bottlenecks)

and runs at 3.9 ghz (on load) and 3.6 mhz (on idle)

 

Athlon x4 860k have 4 cores

and runs at 4.0 ghz (on load) and 3.7 mhz (on idle)

 

in a high end gpu (R9 380) you will get 10 fps less "over 110 fps" 

and we normally use 60 fps monitors (so is not "a real" issue here)

 

the real bottlenecks comes from the R9 390 (insanely powerful card) and up

but even in that case, is not a "bad bottleneck" and we can easy live with that (in the R9 390 case)

 

if you want to see a "real bottleneck"

try run this R9 390 with a old Core 2 Duo

there is a "very real reason" why there is not any dual core on this tables  :lol:

 

(here is the same table separate for gpus)

 

 

 

(and in case you want some heavy read)

Wow this really helps. Thank you, sir

I think I'm going to go with r9 380.
