Best GPU for Intel Pentium G3258

[ChaZZad0g]

I want to upgrade my GeForce Gtx 750ti to a better card but I don't know what GPUs will be bottlenecked by my CPU. Please could you tell me a lists of GPU's at any price and I'll look into it.

-Thanks

I wouldn't go higher than the GTX 960 or R9 280 with that CPU. It may be great for OCing but 2 threads do limit the amount of info the CPU can process and forward to GPUs for rendering (the scenes).

The Pentium won't let you play high end games. So you don't need a high end GPU. I'd probably only go to a gtx960 or R9 270x

You could get something like a 970 and then soon after get an i5 but really I would stick with what you have until you can do that if you can't now. The r9 280 would probably be the best unless you want nvidia drivers then the 960 is a better choice.

The ideal GPU pair for your Intel Pentium G3258 would be this:

- The best 1080p card currently available in the market with great price to performance ratio.
- Also comes with this year's one of the most anticipated game "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" for free, which doubly sweetens the deal.

Thanks for replying, in your opinion which do you think is better the r9 280 or the gtx 960 , but I can keep in I could buy the 4gb 960.

For the Pentium, the gtx960 would be about as good as you would want. The R9 280 is better but the Pentium will bottleneck it.

I'd just get the 2gb version - unless you want to SLI them and try 1440p later on.

I Have overclocked my CPU to 4Ghz so would that make a difference about bottle necking the r9 280

In some games yes but others no.

Don't get me wrong, Hands down the GTX 960. Check it out:

The Overclocking can not make up for the absence of core/ threads in a CPU, it can only enhance the existing ones. GTX 960 will be a good choice, and as i7 said, 4GB version only if you wish to SLI later down the road.
