What GPU?

What is the step down from a 980ti? in price?

[HPWebcamAble]

I'd go for a 390 or 970, but it depends what you'll be using it for.

Then what is? The GTX 980 is directly below it.

What. The 980 TI is the nvidia too. Besides Nvidia is leading with GPU perofrmance and driver updates, making them the top choice for gamers.

would a 4460 bottleneck a 980ti?

depends on the game, but most of the time, no.

What do you mean by "Mostly"?

Some games and apps may require a very high CPU usage. If this occurs, the GPU will be halted to wait on the CPU as it slowly limps along performing tasks. Most games the CPU stays at 20-50% while the GPU Will max out at 100%. when this happens, the GPU is bottlenecking your high end CPU. But If its the other way around, your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU. There is no standard for something to not bottleneck.

"mostly" = it won't bottleneck it. simples.

yeah your right i got myself just a r9 380 but a older gen would work how much does a r9 390 ecuatly cost maybe he could go with that

 

[Arc_Jester]

What is your budget?

just wait for pascal to launch, the used market should be flooding with 980Ti if the x80 performs better lol
