Which GPU?

[xnoobftw]

Would it bottleneck a 380x by alot?

I was thinking of upgrading this PC's GPU side of things

What games will you be playing and can you overclock your CPU at all (what motherboard do you have)?

 

/I would get a 380 over a 380x, the 380x usually isn't worth the price difference.

Even an i3 could bottleneck 380x in some games. I think 950 is the better choice.

Here the 380x is like 20SGD over the 380 LOL

The amount it will be bottleneck will depend on the games you play but could range from very little to lot, and only 2gb of RAM will definitely cause problems.

It will definitely bottleneck

First off, with CPU's that old AMD Radeon cards are off the table due to the Radeon driver overhead. So it'd be maxwell either way.

Secondly, 2GB is too low for most modern games. 4GB or even 8GB is usually required these days. Not sure where you're going to get 6GB of ram cheap, since DDR2 is pretty much EOL everywhere.

Also pretty sure Windows Vista will be unsupported in newer games, that require windows7 or higher these days.

 

You'd have to do some smart shopping. Getting RAM off of craigslist or w/e. Overclocking the CPU where possible, buying windws7 from reddit.

 

EDIT: singapore, don't you have like PC junk stores? Try to rifle old systems for some DDR2 memory.

Yes our population is just that mis/un-informed about PC hardware.

Could just be a supply&demand thing. 

 

And 380X on a Nehalem 2,66ghz? Just no.

Hmmm 270 doesnt sound that bad

Would a 750ti be okay?

Whats the driver overhead issue? D:

I'll scout for some DDR2 ram while im at simlim

The point where sellers overprice Nvidia cards.

 

Might as well get the 380X then.

Hopefully the PSU hold up.

 

Whose PC is that?

If I had such a system I wouldn't bother spending any more on it.

Dead socket and too little RAM

Nvidia cards are too expensive here D:

My client one, he wants to upgrade his comp to play games like dota 2, warframe etc
