    Is r7 250 gpu with AMD phenom 9650 cpu good pair?

    Is r7 250 gpu with AMD phenom 9650 cpu good pair?

    I also notice that the card uses pcie 3.0 x16 but my motherboard only has pcie 2.0 x16 and according to gpuz it only runs at 2.0. Does that affect gaming performance or is any dips in fps the fault of the aging cpu?

    GPU Upgrade Question

    Well it varies depending on where I am in the game and what I'm doing. In the least demanding scenarios I get 100 to 200 fps although it rarely breaks 200. But in more demanding scenarios like in my base and such it can dip into the 50s and 40s and even the 30s sometimes. But I'm just saying it...

    GPU Upgrade Question

    I've been wanting to find a decent upgrade for my 8 year old desktop pc. Its and HP Pavilion p6142p with AMD Phenom 9650 X4, 8 gigs of ddr2 ram and I'm currently using Nvidia GT 610 as my gpu. I bought an RX 460 as an upgrade gpu, but I think my cpu is bottlenecking it as my fps is about the...
