CPU's & GPU's Combinations

[Golden Drake]

Hello.

I've been informed that usually a Nvidia GPU fits better with a Intel CPU when it comes to performance...but would it really be bad if i tried a Nvidia GPU combined with a AMD CPU...?

Incase you wondering wich GPU i'm talking about it's a GTX560 Ti.




Regards, Drake.

No ofcourse it wouldnt be bad. It'll work just fine as long as everything is compatible.

You'll just get more out it with an Intel chip, that's all, but in many cases it doesn't really matter.
Depends on what games you play, at which resolution, detail, level, etc. Still, even an older AMD
CPU like a 965 will run quite well. What CPU/mbd/RAM do you have atm? I have a whole range
of AMD/Intel CPUs and several 560 Tis, I could run a couple of example tests if you like.
