Bottleneck Question. (athlon 64 x2 5000 2.6ghz) Please suggest best graphic card that won't bottleneck.

The title says it all.

I have a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000 And want to add the best graphic card

I was thinking about this card
http://www.flipkart.com/gainward-nvidia-geforce-gt630-1-gb-ddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdkb3fzgzbesc9

So will it bottleneck, if no please tell and also tell a better possible option.
And if it will, still tell me which one should i get.

It will be a fairly balanced pc. Bottlenecking as people call it will always occur in some situations to one extent or another. If you get that graphics card now and buy a new more powerful CPU and motherboard in the future it might be held back by that card.

 

[miit123]

I will upgrade everything in about 1 year for current things, please suggest best one that won't bottleneck.

 

[jay2577]

What will you upgrade to in a year? Just a rough guess on what kind of CPU, motherboard and RAM.
Do you want a graphics card recommendation that won't bottleneck now or in your future upgrade?
What is your budget?
Also what is your power supply unit?
If you answer these questions it will help me recommend the best graphics card for you

 

[miit123]

I would buy the best one availaible at cheaper rate that time, I guess FX 6300,
for motherboard,I am thinking about MSi 970A g43.
Power Supply, 400W.
And I want recommendation that won't bottleneck now.

I hope you have some happy gaming

 

[miit123]

Ok thanks you sure it won't bottleneck? Can I play games like Assasins Creed 3,BF3,GTA IV, Tomb Raider 2012etc. at medium settings?

 

[miit123]

oh please reply

 

[miit123]

....... 🙁

 

[chimera201]

u mean u need a gpu that won't be bottlenecked by the athlon? Then that would be a HD 6670 GDDR5

But which psu is it?

 

[jay2577]

Sorry i was eating dinner. Yes it will play those games on medium settings
A little higher than medium for Assassins Creed 3

 

[miit123]

OK thanks and chimera, you sure it won't bottleneck the 5000 2.6ghz and psu is 400w

 

[chimera201]

OK thanks and chimera, you sure it won't bottleneck the 5000 2.6ghz and psu is 400w

u are writing the wrong way , the 6670 ddr5 won't be bottlenecked by the athlon. The cpu is slower so the cpu is the bottleneck not the gpu

U already said its a 400w psu.I want to know which brand and model is it

 

[miit123]

Oh sorry anyway its a 400w platinum psu by zebronics

 

[chimera201]

Well that psu is cutting it close. I wouldn't recommend getting a HD 6670 on that psu

And i hate the way Zebronics uses naming. The price of a 80+Platinum certified psu looks like this

[miit123]

Ok thanks so what do you think which one I should get this:
http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-radeon-hd-6670-1gb-ddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdfygjystmyqrx?pid=GRCDFYGJGKEGHRDQ&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=1gb+ddr5&ref=d1285dc5-e7ed-49a3-949d-c8646fc141e7

Or this
http://www.flipkart.com/asus-amd-ati-hd-6670-1-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmd9uqvwxyvhvhy?pid=GRCDAMAKFBEGGRYD&otracker=from-search&srno=t_2&query=1gb+ddr5&ref=d1285dc5-e7ed-49a3-949d-c8646fc141e7

And please tell me 'WHY'

 

[chimera201]

Sapphire

The reason is only low cost. U are only getting 10MHz overclock on the Asus card and that doesn't make a huge performance difference in a low end card like that

 

[miit123]

Okie thanks
