Will this work?

[Nemozzz]

Hi!
Just wondering if this graphics (http://goo.gl/ldtqqj) card will wok with an intel core i5 2320 processor perfectly?
Thanks!

I think it will do just fine in most games! Just be sure your PSU can handle it.

false! It will bottleneck your system. the gtx 770 is a little better than a r9 280x and the r9 280x bottlenecks with tha cpu. i would suggest buying a gtx 760 instead so it wont bottleneck.

Even bottlenecked, a GTX 770 will be significantly faster than a GTX 760 in every single title. Besides, most games will be bottlenecked by the GTX 770 itself. The only exception will be CPU bound titles.

So which one should i get? 770 or 760? Also does bottlenecking mean it will also have a shorter lifetime? Does it cause any damage?

Bottlenecking means that due some part that cannot keep up with the rest of the system performance, it won't reach it's full potential.

For example, imagine that your GTX 770 can give you 100 FPS in a given game. If your CPU isn't able to keep up with this game cpu orientated tasks, the effective frames per second may drop under 100, thus meaning that you aren't using "100%" of your GPU.

Even if your CPU do bottlenecks the system in some games, it can drive the GTX 770 in most cases and hence if you want one GTX 770 and have the cash for it, I think you should buy it.

It's absolutely safe and does no harm to the hardware to have a bottleneck.

But beware: You must be sure that your PSU can handle the GTX 770.

at minimum at least a 550w psu although i recommend getting a 650w instead.

 

[Nemozzz]

Thanks! But will this power supply need to be higher than 650w in order to run the intel i7 has well processor too?

 

[seraj5]

no, the gtx 770 takes at most 300w i think and the i7 a bit over 100w, and the rest of the system is maybe something under 100w so a 550 quality psu at minimum.

OK thanks! So just asking, what fps will this set-up get on saints row 4, assassins creed black flag, call of duty ghosts and battlefield 4?

 

[seraj5]

around 55fps on battlefield if you play everything on ultra with a 1920 1080 monitor.

 

[Nemozzz]

brilliant! do you know what fps on saints row 4 and ac black flag?

 

[seraj5]

i think you would get the same fps on the ac black flag to, maybe 5-10more fps because you have a nvidia card (more optimized for the ac black flag) on saints row i think you would get 60+fps.

 

[Nemozzz]

Cool!

 

[seraj5]

just a tip, don't dont chose a best answer before you got all your questions answered. when people are looking to help and see a solved question they jump trough it right away. have a nice day.
