Best gpu for AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400+ without bottlenecking it ?

[umarnisme]

Hi,

I want to reuse my old pc . Just recommend the BEST i can get for my proc without bottlenecking it . I have a decent 650w psu and a 1080p monitor.. Will use it for hd movie playback and light gaming if possible. As long as it is the best i can get to pair with my proc.

Sorry for bad english. Thanks

Just get the 7750 to pair with it, runs off the 75W from the PCI-E slot and is more than capable for light gaming and HD playback, your CPU shouldn't hold it back too much as well

I've considered 7750 before , but i've read many posts that it will bottleneck the proc . Are you sure it will not ?

The 4400+ will hold it back yes, but it's still worth getting over the 6670 or 6570 cards

If there's no problem with 7750 , then i'll just go for it ! Thanks for the fast reply !

Hope that goes well, I wouldn't try to run AC3 or AC4 with that CPU :lol: (horrible optimization especially for weaker CPUs)

Though a CPU overclock to help alleviate that bottleneck would certainly be a good idea
