Suggestions for GPU?

[Liam Wilson]

Hello, I was wondering about my processor (is as follows ) AMD A10-7800, I wanted to buy a new GPU since I have a R7 240, and I was wondering if my processor would bottleneck the Nvidia 960 or 970? Or even some AMD GPU's, if you guys have any suggestions please feel free to leave them below, also should I just buy a new pc all together I was wanting to build it

With no bottleneck what so ever? A 950.

would a 960 be dramatically bottlenecked?

Just go with the 950, don't even think about going SLI.

on cpu heavy games, yea

most of the times, maybe slightly?

 

and i dont recommend amd card to match with weak cpus due to their cpu overhead, so stick to nvidia unless you're getting a different cpu

would it be better for just building a new system all together?

No because you don't need to SLI nor do you really need to go above a 950 (that's if you're not a heavy gamer like me). The 950 is a great budget build GPU, I can vouch for it because I have one aswell.

it would be able to run arma 3 and the division, right? I don't care about quality but I imagine it would be around medium to low for both games? And I'd imagine that for gaming this card wont last long, right?

i dont know about division, but arma 3 is cpu heavy, so upgrading the gpu will not help

you need a better cpu for arma 3 to be smooth

I was just reading your Component thread, *I know close to nothing about PC's* I currently have an R7 240, I saw the budget CPU the i3, I was thinking of just selling my motherboard and processor and getting a motherboard for the i3 and also the i3 and later on getting a gpu, but for the time i dont have a new gpu would I get better performance on like arma 3 rainbow six siege, etc?

you will only see slightly improvement going from your a10 7800 to i3 6100. i recommend the i5 6500, since arma 3 is very cpu bound

 

im not sure about six siege's cpu and gpu load situation too, best if you ask around `-` i dont game a lot
