best budget/presentable gpu for amd a8-7600

[namiamiheatdre]

im using dual channel (2x4gb 1600mhz) for my amd a8 7600 but i cant play nba2k16 properly, in a game i cant see the players, so what do you think is the best budget and presentable gpu for this kind of problem thank you

 

[Hlsgsz]

AMD RX 460 4GB.

AMD RX 460 4GB.

almost $350? ouch

 

[darthvader30]

AMD R7 260 or 260X- recommended by AMD. Adding a higher end GPU will cause the CPU to bottleneck.

 

[namiamiheatdre]

please enlighten me what is happening i do bottleneck, i dont want google hahah

What is your budget and where are you looking? Link the gpu page.

Give info about your psu as well,means make/model/wattage.

Where do you live that that costs so much?

Bottleneck means when one component restricts the max performance of the other component since it can't deliver the same level of performance as the other one.

Getting equal perforrming parts i highly undoable so imo it only bottlenecks when the cpu can't keep up with the gpu.

cpu = amd a8-7600
mobo = biostar a70-mgp
can i run an rx 460 without having bottleneck with that?

Yes, you can.

 

[Vic 40]

Give some info about the psu you have=maker/model/wattage,it can help to determine which gpu is a good choice and not just to go by a bottlenecking issue.

how do you know sir it will not have a problem? my mobo is for pcie 3.0 gpu cards

i just bought my psu 2nd hand, i know that it is korean psu 550 watts true rated (it has black sleeves)

All modern graphic cards are PCIe 3.0, also they are backward compatible with earlier generations. So not only are you running the latest generation PCIe, but it wouldn't make any difference anyway.

A make and model would be nice. The RX 460 doesn't use much power, so if that 550w PSU of yours can deliver even 300w you'll be fine.

 

[Vic 40]

Some info about Amps on the +12V rail(s) would also be nice,or what connecions it has=how many sata,how many pcie etc.
For a RX460 would it probably hold up,but it being Korean generic doesn't make me feel good.

how will i know that my psu will fail? (after placing rx 460) the pc will restart when playing? is it like that?

As I said earlier, the RX 460 uses very little power so it's unlikely your PSU would fail. However if it does fail it could look like these in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6snWfd1v7M

 

[Vic 40]

That;s a very scary vid and it doesn't have to happen with your psu.I only ask for some info,what's the difficulty of providing it?

 

[dontlistentome]

To minimize potential PSU problems, like needing to buy a new one, you might focus on videocards that do not require even one 6 pin power connector. The Nvidia 750 ti 2gb videocard would fit this need, and it should handle that game fine. I believe Asus offer an Nvidia GTX 950 that does not require a power connector, but I don't know if it's worth the extra cost for the performance.

 

[pete_101]

From the testing I've seen, the RX 460 has a power consumption somewhere between that of the GTX 750Ti and the 950, depending on the overclock etc.

thanks for the info btw i have done putting 220v to a psu of 110v ahaha smart ass

Yes, you can.

hi, wich procesor is better for this grphic card (rx460)a8 7600 or i5 4660?' thanks

Between the two, the i5 4460 (no such thing as a 4660) is the better cpu. However, for the rx460, you would be just fine with the a8 7600. So depending on price, the i5 is better, especially at single thread performance (which many older games use), but the a8 7600 would be well matched to an rx460.
