Hello! I was thinking on buying a new vga because my old one [XfX HD 6770] is now dead by a thunderbolt that hit my house yesterday (Yeah, that bad luck; It also killed my tv and home theater); So, Do you think that this graphic card will work with this specs? Will my CPU bottleneck with the card?

Mother: Gigabyte Ga 880gm usb3l
CPU:FX 4100 + Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper x 212+ [I've never tried but I guess I can do some OC]
Ram: 2*4GB hyper x fury 1600mhz
Power: Cooler Master 550w

I also think about a R7 260x, what do you think?
Thx!! :)

No it wouldn't bottleneck with the GTX750ti.
Most games won't use all of your cores. I've been using a FX6100 (slower per core) with a HD 7970 Ghz ed. (or R9 280X) with only some slight problems, was able to run stuff like Battlefield without any bottleneck.

So your CPU shouldn't bottleneck this. I would go for the 750ti, unless the 260X is much cheaper. 😉

Hope this helped!

I have the R9 270 and i got it for around the same price as a GTX 750Ti and so far ive been able to play most games on High to max settings No overclock. But between the 260x and the 750ti the 750 wins. but both are good cards.

just as a refrence point. And i know you cant compare from just Stats.So here are some Game bench marks as well.

Wow, actually it has a similar price and a considerable better performance. But I not pretty sure if it will work really good with my fx 4100, of course it´s a better option for a future upgrade, and it supports Mantle and Dx12 😍
 


I would say go for the R9 270, it should be a good card with that little extra over the two other options. And you're not running on a very tight watt budget (if you had a small power supply you would).
So the R9 270 is also GOOD choice here! It's the one i would recommend the most if it's around 750ti's pricing. 😉
