Best GPU for pentium E6600 @3.7ghz

[rayzaldy]

What is the best gpu for my pentiun e6600?? I done some research and i find that my cpu at 3.6ghz only using 60% of the gtx 750ti at GTA V. My system are:
CPU: Pentium E6600 @3.7ghz
RAM: 1333 4+2gb corsair
PSU: Enermax MaxPro 500w
HDD: 320gb internal+320gb external
Monitor: 1366x768 acer monitor
Does the 260x bottleneck my gpu?? How about the 250x but it only have 1gb vram

The 750ti is about right I would have thought. Why would you change it if - as it sounds - you already have one?

GTA V is a particularly CPU intensive title so it's not surprising that you're hitting a CPU bottleneck. There will be other games which allow your 750ti fully stretch it's legs, so it's not worth swapping it out IMHO.

I was planning to buy a 750ti 😀 i meant by that is i found a video with a e6600 @3.6ghz with 750ti but it only use 60-70% of gpu usage in gta v and fallout 4.

OK, I'm with you. You can add fallout 4 to the list of CPU intensive games.

I wouldn't go much cheaper than a 750ti myself, unless you're really trying to spend as little as possible. A 750 (non TI), would be fine if it's significantly cheaper. But once you go lower than that you start sacrificing a lot of performance for relatively small drops in price.

Like I said, there will be games that allow a 750ti to stretch it's legs... just not those ones.

How about this? It seems like a lot of power for the money.

You might as well get something you can carry over to your next system. Socket 775 is getting pretty old. You can certainly still have some fun with them though.

Also, I upgraded a socket 775 system for my wife recently. It had a Celeron, E3200 or something like that. I was able to get a E8600 off of Amazon for $20, and there were E8400s ~$15. You might benefit A LITTLE from a CPU upgrade like that, and if your motherboard supports it you might even be able to do a C2Q, they are very cheap as well. For $20, don't you want to tinker a little?

The R7 360 is the same price as 1gb gtx 750ti in my country.

How does it compare to the 260x though?? Since it's got mantle and stuff. Since i will be overclocking and using that card for about 4~years.

They're similar, depending on the game. 750ti might have a slight edge. Have a look at this comparison: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1130?vs=1044

The 260X will use quite a bit more power, so if priced the same, I'd go a 750ti.

Mantle is dead. It's been handed over to OpenGL which will work on all platforms (including Nvidia).
