Best graphics card best for an Intel QX9770 CPU?
Hello,
I'd like some suggestions for a decent video card for playing PR on my computer. I was running a GTX 590 that worked pretty well using medium graphs settings - it crapped out so now is the time for me to upgrade. My current system is this: Operating System : Windows 7 64 Bit Motherboard : Nvidia Nforce 790i Processor : Intel Core 2 Extreme X9770 3.20GHz Memory : 4GB I'm dont want to get anything that might have bottlenecking issues with the CPU/MB and I'm not interested in doing any overclocking. |

Re: Best graphics card best for an Intel QX9770 CPU?
you have best LGA775 CPU ever released.
you have the best LGA 775 Mobo ever made. (you should OC it :P ) In short, the GTX 680 or GTX 770 would be right around the max GPU you could add to your existing CPU/Mobo combo. Your PC will run most games very nicely with a GTX 680 or 770. There will be some games where your CPU will bottleneck it fairly significantly, but you should still expect a big boost in performance in most situations. There will be some games that are CPU intensive where the GPU will go to waste. The GTX 770 is more likely to bottleneck, HOWEVER it also uses 1/3rd less energy when gaming, so when comparing the prices, consider the total cost of ownership. If you OC your CPU even to 3.8Ghz, you'll probably rarely if ever bottleneck the QX9770, Without interest in OC'ing, you'll hit the CPU bottleneck pretty easily with most newer more expensive cards. And you can go AMD with the 7970 GHz Ed, R9 280X, R280, R285. |

I didn't say or imply that he wasn't one of the most knowledgeable and helpful members of the community and in addition i don't need to be schooled on the subtle "nudge" about overclocking. I'm well aware what happend thanks.. I have no qualm with him as a person and i'm glad he chimed in to help the guy out but i do wish people would pay more attention to detail. When someone says i have no wish to OverClock then respect that and offer other details instead of trying to "gently nudge" them in the direction they clearly have no wish to head into. This is my opinion and i'm sticking to it. I don't care to argue back and fourth with you on something we can simply agree to disagree on. I'm over this already. This one reply is all you shall recieve from me. If it bothers you that much, that you require to have the last word and reply back go for it bud. I'll let you have it. I apologize if this has ruffled your feathers but you'll just have to sit there angry or get over it and move on. Thanks pumpkin. Bye. Have a nice day. | |

What is wrong with you? Can't you read? Litoralis only suggested that TS doesn't have to buy top-end newer cards because most of them will hit bottleneck without OCed CPU.
