radeon hd 7770 compatibility

[deadshot]

I am planning to buy an AMD Radeon HD 7770.I have ASUS m4n68t-m LE V2 mobo and AMD Athlon X2 240 processor,I know the GPU wont be totally compatible but will it be totally bottleneck? Or would it be manageable?and what if i upgrade to AMD Athlon X3 440??will there be some improvement??

the graphics card will be fine with your mobo. however that cpu is only a dual core and it will bottleneck your gpu, you should look into getting a phenom quad core for that setup to alleviate any bottlenecks.

Would'nt the x3 be sufficient??

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

it wouldnt totally bottleneck your system but it would be significant as your cpu usage is going to be maxed

get the quad. Bigger is better.
