Xeon X3220 Bottle neck HD 6670

[Travanj]

My PC is fairly old and i Don't have a lot of cash, my previous Processor was Intel E5200 and I upgraded to XEON X3220. The same guy is offering me a Bnew HD 6670 (for only $25 still sealed) And i would like to know if there will be problems if i try using it.

Simple OC you CPU and ypu will no need worry about bottleneck, 3.2Ghz on this CPU do not need to much

After OC your CPU can go with R7 260x / GTX 750ti both are 3x time faster compared to HD 6670. And R7 260x can be buy below 100$

Even without OC your CPU will not bottleneck HD 6670.

What GPU are you using now? The 6670 sadly won't be able to play newer games. I have one on my secondary pc. Plays Civ V just fine though.

At 25 bucks I'd say grab it. Probably best 25 bucks you'll spend on hardware.

My old one is a GT 610 (palit) and why won't it be able to play newer games?

I did say o don't have a lot of money. Max amount i can spend on a GPU is around $30 max, that's really all i have. I'm a poor kid...

It'll be a nice upgrade from the 610. Its a bit old now and a bit on the weak side. Hence why its only 25 bucks. It'll play some of the newer games just not all of them and probably not the newer huge releases. I couldn't get it to run dying light at an acceptable FPS. Ran sims 3/4 just fine though. Plays skyrim just fine on medium.

If you have any particular games you are worried about it playing then feel free to ask, I might have 'em.
