Will it bottleneck?

[Hawkz3r]

If i buy a AMD FX-9590 will it bottleneck with a xfx radeon 7850 core edition?
And will the cpu be compatible with a Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-990XA-UD3 (Socket M2) motherboard?

The 7850 will in no way be bottlenecked by a 9590

Dude please don't waste $220 on a FX9590. What cpu are you using now? You'd probably be better off upgrading your video card.

Im using a amd fx 6200

That chip is okay, just grab a GPU upgrade.
My FX 6300 with some decent overclocking can handle a GTX 970 with insignificant bottlenecking (maybe silicon lottery)

You could get a FX8320 for $140ish and overclock it to around FX9590 levels.

Is there any other graphics card that is around the 250 dollar mark?

Get the R9 280X, it should go in cheap nowdays due to the 300 series release.
Most experts recommend the 280X over GTX 960.

With aftermarket r9 280x is the best then?

 

[Mohd Mamat]

[strike]I would suggest either the Dual-X or tri-X from Sapphire or the Windforce from Gigabyte or either the MSI Gaming Twin Frozr IV version[/strike]
Simply said,most aftermarket brands are good,as the "best ones" are subjective, but in my honest opinion, either the DirectCU from ASUS, WIndforce from Gigabyte or Hawk/Frozr series from MSI

You can find the R9 290 for under/around $250. Even the regular R9 280 for $150ish would be a huge improvement.

I have to ask, idk why but the 290X performs worse on my FX 6300 compared to the GTX 970 in most of my games( GTA V, Witcher 3, FarCry 4, Dirt Showdown etc.) Is it had to do something with my PSU?
*my psu is a cheap ass CM 550W that doesnt reach 500W lol 🙁

 

[CTurbo]

Well for starters, the 970 is a stronger video card than the 290x, but yes running the 290x on a crappy psu doesn't help things.

The thing is that my 750 watt power supply only has a 6 pin connector and a 2 pin on the side, do i have to buy a new power supply or is there another way?

You mean 6+2 pcie connectors? the 750W psu should have 4 of those. You dont have to buy a new PSU for that

For some reason i dont have that i just have one and that one is connected to my graphics card

 

[Mohd Mamat]

Wow,thats is weird by all means.

I think its Nitro, But doesn't the graphics card come with the cables i need?

 

[Mohd Mamat]

yeah, they should include the molex to pcie

 

[Hawkz3r]

yeah, they should include the molex to pcie

[Mohd Mamat]
