Hi
specifically for Battlefield 4 multiplayer, 1900 x 1080, high setting (no AA) what would be the highest video card I can go with before the CPU bottleneck the performance?
thanks

Honestly, I wouldn't pair it with anything better than a 750 Ti or a R7 265. IMO, you should be setting aside funds for upgrading to a better CPU and motherboard.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. Im using a C2D and I'm going to buy a 750 Ti in the coming weeks. My motherboard doesn't support Core 2 Quads (its a prebuilt), so I absolutely have to rebuild in order to get anything better.

I agree with the above, 750ti till you can get something better, at the LEAST a haswell i3 cpu or fx6300, 8gb of ddr3 ram, decent motherboard, power supply,etc

@ 3.6Ghz my gtx 570 only takes it to 80% load., what usually happens to me is a run out of system mem when using only 4GB
