graphics question

[butters512]

i was wondering i built an athlon 64x2 rig and its on an msi ms-7252 board with 8 gb of ram i want to know what the best graphics card i can run without bottlenecking

[Glaith]

is it a 3800+ or a 6000+??

But I personaly would go a 5750 or a 5770 if you can find them.

I recenlty built a 6000+ for my freind and he runs a 5770 and gets very nice frame rates with todays games, hope this helps.

mine is a 5200+

but thanks for the info

Hey there 5200+ buddy, I have one as well :D

I'm running it with a 6870 and I get okayish frames. You can get a better card, but you're better off investing in a better cpu/mobo/memory if you want to go that route

the 6000+ is awesome CPU (i love it), still is not a gamer CPU, but is a good one

you are in the range of MEDIUM graphics cards

still, i do recomend (in the future) change to a 4 cores CPU with 3000 mhz (or more)

there is a big jump of performance gamer in the way of AM2 to AM3 or AM3+

i recomend a new mother AM3+ and a low FX (any FX is a true gamer CPU :))

then you can add any graphics card, no bottlenecks anymore with a FX

i just went and got a 5770 from a friend and a phenom 2 cpu getting pretty good frame rates
