New GPU for A10-7870k in 1440p

[JorAlv]

I am searching for a new GPU to upgrade from the integrated graphics of my A10-7870k. I wont change the cpu in at least 3 years. I know the best GPU that the A10-7870k can take without severely bottlenecking it at 1080p is around a 580. The question, is what GPU would be the best for my new 1440p monitor that isn't severely bottlenecked by my cpu.

You are stuck with a cheap cpu for at least 3 years but somehow have money to get a 1440p monitor...

Honestly get your priorities straight, your gaming experience will be quite bad regardless what you get.

 

If you can grab a RX 570 4GB for a good price go that way but still... 1440P isn't exactly you should aim for on a budget.

[JorAlv]

My previous monitor was a 768p and I need more space for productivity, that's why the 1440p monitor is important.

I Think 1440p No Matter What you Do may be a Bit Far for that CPU, but If I had to Recommend I would do the Same as @samcool55 and go with a RX 580 or 570 but Even then 1440p is a Long Shot on that CPU

[JorAlv]

The thing is, when there is a cpu bottleneck, the frame rate would be the maximum the cpu can process, and the resolution only changes how many pixels the GPU has process. Therefore, with xxx GPU running at 1440p with this cpu, I should get the same frame rate that I would with a 580 or 570 on a 1080p screen and this cpu. Am I wrong?

[Xx_MadJack_xX]

Depends on how Big the Bottleneck is

[JorAlv]

The same that I would have with the 580 and 1080p screen, basically they would be on par, no bottlenecks (normally the GPU is the bottleneck)

[Xx_MadJack_xX]

in this Situation the CPU Is a Clear Bottleneck as it cant Keep up with such a Fast GPU

[JorAlv]

Okay some cpu bottleneck, the thing is what would be that xxx GPU

I am not saying I am going to buy the xxx GPU. I am asking what would be the maximum that would work with the same bottleneck situation as 580 - 1080p. Therefore, if I get a lower than xxx GPU, I will not have any substantial cpu bottleneck, therefore having the nowadays normal GPU bottleneck.

Get a RX 580 (if you can find one at a reasonable price) then get Ryzen 3 when it comes out.

[JorAlv]

When I upgrade the CPU I will get the Ryzen version made in 7nm because although the A10-7870k isn't very powerful, the Ryzen 3 first Gen won't be a great improvement and I have to change motherboard and RAM.

Actually I can't find any stock of 580, 570, 480 or 470 so I will have to wait.

probably a GTX 980/1060 or RX 480/580 i would say...anything more than that and that APU will hold it back in the 40-50FPS anyways...so yeah!

RX 580 or RX 570

Right, that is approximately the frame rate I am getting in GTA V at 768p with normal settings with the iGPU and it doesn't go higher if I lower the resolution, showing the max fps of the cpu
