i3 2120 for 1080p with radeon 7850 and question fro Radeon 230

[nitro912gr]

Hello do you think an i3 2120 with 8GB DDR3 1333 will be ok for 1080p gaming with a radeon 7850 1GB?

I play just fine the games I want with that GPU with a phenom II x6 1090T and 8GB 1600Mhz RAM, do you think I will lose much framerate with the i3 or it will be around the same levels of performance?

Also I plan to exchange this 7850 from the workstation with the phenom with a lower end Radeon 230 1GB, this machine is working with photoshop, illustrator and indesign which I have the GPU acceleration off anyway (adobe have done very poor job with it, even NVidia 980Ti can't outperform then phenom).
So I guess it will be fine for general use with other graphical tasks like the windows 10 with all the eye candy and browsing 1080p video playback and small things like that.
Right?

Thanks in advance

If you look at the CPU hierarchy chart, the i3-2120 performs about the same as the Phenom II x6 1090T. There will be discernible gain or loss in making the switch.

In terms of gaming performance, the 7850, while being close in performance to today's budget-end video cards, is vastly superior to the R5 230. The 7580 will allow for some 1080p gaming, but you will probably have to turn details down.

thanks, the 230 will not be used for gaming, just everyday use but I'm a bit skeptical with low end graphics because I have used the above i3 with the intel hd graphics it had and I was lagging at browsing :| I guess 230 is enough however?

About 7850 I already play with it fine, at least the older games I play (the backlog is out of control 😛 ) so I'm just wondering for the CPU I guess your answer is ok for me

Yeah, I have a backlog of games, too! LOL

The current generation of the Intel processors, many of which have the integrated Intel 630 graphics, is not bad, but still pretty low end. Better than they used to be, but the 7850 would be superior even to the Intel 630 graphics.
