750ti compatiable with maximus formula ?

[mo12345]

hi all, ive got an ancient system but still works relatively well apart from the graphics card and old ASUS 8600gt bottlenecking the computer.

just wanted to know whether the Zotac 2gbddr5 750ti would work with my systems specs below:

mobo:ASUS Maximus formula
CPU: E6750 core2duo
ram: 4gb ddr2 ram
PSU: 650w PSU corsair bronze

nothing is OC'ed a quick response would be much apreciated.

also what would be bottlenecking my system with the 750ti for games like bf3, watchdogs etc ?

Thanks in advance. !!

Honestly getting the 750ti will NOT improve the bottleneck especially for the games your suggesting (2013 titles forward).A syou noted the problem is your entire system, and spending on the 750ti would be a waste especially with those titles. Put it this way, rather then single digits you MAY get if the game plays at all, the best you could get at lowest all graphics off resolution is in the teens to twenty at most, aka SLIDE SHOW effect.

You need a serious investment IF you want to play WatchDogs, COD:AW and newer titles just showed at E3. These are requiring at least a i5, preferred a i7 based computer with nothing less then a AMD R9 or Nvidia 760/770 GPU, which puts the price now at $1000 for a desktop (those cards start at $399 alone last I checked).

Your running DDR2, which is a serious bottleneck of only 4GB, your HDD is probably 5400RPM, the CPU is only a Duo when every game is demanding MINIMALLY Quad Core, the board adverts that it supports STALKER. The difference with THAT game and say BF4, you can take your knife and break down (unrealistically) a cement wall, while BF4 puts in real physics which says that ain't going to happen, your side arm can chip away at it but not break it, you can go through several clips of your AK47 and make a hole it to snipe out of but not break the whole wall down, and your M203 will cause a nice big whole in it and may actually cause the entire wall to collapse under its own weight as you try to duck through - aka PHYSICS. This is NOT a graphic element, but CPU, and all 2013 forward title need heavier processing CPUs to accomplish this and other 'cpu intensive' calculative processes, not just 'cram graphics to the GPU'.
