Bottleneck of GPU

[Noreaga57]

Hey guys,

my old rig need some tuning

I have an Athlon II X4 645 and a Radeon HD 3850.

The last games i played were WoW and SC2.

I am in no way an enthusiast. My first game i played hardcore was Quake 3, so you know how i think about graphics quality in relation to "fun" playing a game


My question is:

Which GPU will be the best one for the Athlon in terms of bottlenecked by my CPU.

If the result is too "low" I will think it through and wait for more money to get a complete new rig


Thanks and regars

Take a look at this series of articles. The first page has links to the other articles. They should give you an idea of what your CPU can and cant do based on the 640 in the review.

Depend on you monitor rezolution. In my opinion ATI 6850 is a good choice.
