rx 480 with dual core

[ayushrustagi]

Can g2010 2.8ghz dual core handle rx 480 graphic card easily?

That cpu will bottleneck the rx480.

 

[ayushrustagi]

But can it still run games with that card?

 

[hdgaming]

Yes you can still run games with it, but you will get lesser fps than with an i5 for example.

I will be getting i5 later on after 4-5 months but till then i wanna play latest games..how much fps will i get on latest games+ upcoming?

You will struggle to run any of the latest games with that CPU. I wouldn't recommend it.

If you are looking at an RX 480 then I assume you're hoping to game in 1080p with High or possibly Ultra settings in the majority of games and get about 60 fps?

To avoid nasty CPU bottlenecks and disappointment I'd recommend something like an i5 6500K.

The RX 480 may be cheap, but it needs a good CPU to get the most out of it.

I will play at 720p....will it work then?

I will play at 720p..

Okay, well at 720p with the dual core, I can only compare to my experience with my old quad-core Q9650 at stock speeds (3.0GHz) when I used it with a 720p monitor for a few months earlier this year. It's about 50% more powerful than your dual core.

It bottlenecked BF4 a bit in multiplayer with a 750Ti (!) although I avoided this eventually with an overclock. BF3 similar story. Rocket League was 'ok' but there were occasional frame drops on max settings. Still playable though. Track-mania was fine with max settings. Doom.... not good at all. Grid 2 fine on High to Ultra.

Some older games like Pro Evo Soccer 2012 and Assassins Creed 1 and 2 ran fine. The point being that it was the CPU that was holding back the 750Ti. When I OC-ed it to ~4.5GHz things were totally fine and that remained the case at 1080p. Doom still struggled but that was GPU related as well.

Basically, dropping the resolution to 720p doesn't help you very much when you are CPU bottlenecked. In some games it might (Minecraft) but in others such as BF4 it makes only a small difference in my experience. You still get the nasty frame drops.

But as you are planning on getting some sort of i5.... then at 720p with an RX 480 I imagine you'll be able to hit >/= 60fps at max settings. If you ever get a 1080p monitor then you'll still manage good frame-rates (if you have the i5). Benchmarks show the RX 480 gets around 60fps or more in most current games at Max settings. So getting the RX 480 with an i5 is a good idea.

As you are planning to put an i5 in there, i say go for it.

 

[ayushrustagi]

Will zen be better than i5? If yes i'll wait for it...also will zen be expensive ?

No one knows the answers to this (except maybe the engineers working at AMD).

 

[ayushrustagi]

Ok..then i'll think that i should wait for zen..also till then ps4k will be lanched...right?

 

[ayushrustagi]

Please answer?

Its quite a long wait for Zen.
