What cpu is good for radeon 6850

[Xtremegey]

Hello,
will amd phenom 965 Black edition bottleneck 6850

 

[rolli59]

No they are a good match!

At very low resolutions or graphic settings it might, but performance would be so good you either would not notice or would not (and should not) care.

 

[Xtremegey]

so should i stick with the 965 or get a 1090t

 

[rolli59]

Stick with the 965 there is no benefit in gaming from more than 4 cores!

Thank you, nd with 6gb ram be enough?

 

[rolli59]

AMD only supports dual channel so most common combinations are 2 x 2GB or 2 x 4GB. I would say 4GB for 32bit OS and 8GB for 64bit. (although 2GB 32 bit and 4GB 64 bit is min recommended.)

 

[Xtremegey]

so they dont support triple even though the mobo can support it?

 

[rolli59]

Triple channel is for Intel LGA1366 and as far as I know they are the only motherboards that support it.

im planning to get a Msi 880g E45

Yep dual channel! Have you considered 9xx series board for bulldozer compatibility http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130608

Oh ty

What if i wanna crossfire 6850, i mean like buy 2x 6850. does my cpu support ( in another word bottleneck it?)

 

[rolli59]

The 965BE will handle 2 HD6850 fine in Crossfire.

 

[Xtremegey]

btw does 6850 use 2 pci 2.x16 slot or just one, nd idk if my mobo will fit the card. or the card will be too big for my mobo. ( either, msi 880g E45 or gigabyte 880gm d2h)

 

[rolli59]

The card will only need a single slot but the cooler on the card will overhang and block the next slot to it. Both those boards will accept the card.

 

[Xtremegey]

wait.wat? i dont get the overhang part/ does it just like hanging above the next slot or just use the next slot?

 

[rolli59]

It is not using the slot but making it impossible to put another card in it!

 

[Xtremegey]

LOL. right now amd just release the FX cpu. which is perfect match for the 6000 hd series. so what should i get?

 

[rolli59]

Look at the reviews! If you are thinking gaming, for now skip the FX (Bulldozer).

 

[Xtremegey]

kk thank very much

will the copper part on the msi e45 block the gpu? ( 6850)

Not at all, you should have plenty of room for your 6850. The only problem I face right now is my SATA ports being in the way of the card but on the MSI motherboard it looks like they won't be a problem as they face the front of the case.
