xeon x5670 with amd r9 270x?

[Muhammad Osama]

Hey guyz.. Sorry for my bad english

 

soo guyz i have a dell precision t3500 with xeon x5670 at stock speed ( my dell motherboard doesn't support overclocking) with 8 gb ram and a 525 watt power supply having two 6 pin connectors.. now i want a gpu that doesn't bottleneck alot.. i found r9 270x vapor x from sapphire for 75$ which is also in my budget and in a pretty good conditions.. so should i go for that.. i wanted to mention ebay and other famous websites doesn't support my country so there is only onle online shopping website in my country which can only b visited by my country.. so if you wanted to suggest a card then you can i will tell you the prize ASAP

Well normally you can find better cards for around that price (or at least under $100), but if you don't have ebay and such, then that will definitely limit your potential. If you have other used hardware stores around you that you can take a look at do that. $75 is a bit much IMO, but it depends on your country.

can you suggest me a card around 100$ which is better then r9 270x? and i also wanted to ask is a gtx 1050 better then a r9 270x ? gtx 1050 (non ti model) is for 97$

Yeah I would say a 1050 is. I would try to look for a 280/280X, 380/380X, GTX 770, 780, 960 4GB, 970,

soo this is the chart these are the cards whic i found

 

r9 280 = 134$
r9 280x = 134$
r9 380 = 134$
r9 380x 4 gb = 134$
gtx 770 4 gb = 134$
gtx 780 SC 3gb = 130$
gtx 960 2 gb = 104$
gtx 970 4gb = 186$

 

and this is a coincidence that the first 5 cards are exactly the same price

 

now give a good suggestion also please also tell me that these cards will work with two 6 pin connectors because my powersupply support only two 6 pin connectors

As far as power, you have to look at each card specifically. It will depend on the card and the manufacturer of the card. Different GTX 780s can require different power connectors. Out of those listed I would go for the 380X or 780, but the 270X you listed before is priced well compared to those. So it just depends

Take that 780. Perform closer to 970 in some cases.

Which is better 380x or 780?

With that 3ghz 6c/12t cpu, you want Nvidia driver.

380x is worse or better then 780?

I didn't understand? Am i restricted to use only nvidia cards?

Hey plz tell me you worried me.. is it a restriction that i can only use an nvidia card

wh-what? Nvidia drivers have nothing to do with the CPU...

I thinks he/she means with that CPU you need a Nvidia graphics card.

That makes no sense, the GPU has no bearing on the CPU.

Is it Mordor or Narnia?  

P.S r9 270x is a good choice for that amount of money.

Maybe he/she means that Nvidia GPU's are better than AMD GPU's, so with that CPU you need a better powerful GPU from Nvidia.

But still tho for 75$ that's a deal for that GPU, but personally go for a GPU with atleast 4 GB GDDR5.

Just saw the chart. Go for the 380x or 780. Although 380x has better driver support than the 780 and 970.

But can you tell me about the performance ? 380x is better then 780 or 970?

Agreed, wholeheartedly! xAcid9's take on that CPU requiring nVidia driver, or that an nVidia vid card is more desirable with that CPU makes no sense. Also, bear in mind that a standard GTX 780 usually require an 8pin and a 6pin power connectors, OP has mentioned his PSU has only 2x 6pin connectors.

I really wanted to know that was my cpu choice better ? Like can it game perfectly?

Strange way to word it then. And AMD has usually won on price/performance, so for the OP's use case AMD is a solid option (though if you find an Nvidia card used for a good price it's also good). But there's no need for one or the other with a certain CPU. And a stock X5670 isn't super fast unless you OC it (at 4.5Ghz an X5675 will match a stock R5 1600, the X5670 is that with a slower base clock, irrelevant once you OC), so for 1080p gaming too powerful of a GPU will probs get bottlenecked. I still managed to run my X5675 with a 980 Ti at both stock clocks and OCed to 4-4.2Ghz or so.

Soo now there is a barrier.. but i really wanted to just kniw that 780 is better or 380x in terms of performance?
