Sooo. Will this [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103239[/url] bottleneck this? [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161303[/url] I'm thinking it will, but will it be a lot or a little? Will it kill my FPS? I wanna play Assassin's Creed, The Orange Box, and CoD4. Thanks.
sorta but you should be fine for most games a 5000+ would be a wise investment
I'm planning on getting the 240 in a couple months. I'm getting money for my birthday in February and I'm probably gonna get a 240, 620, or a 550.
yeah you'll be fine then
But until then do you think it will be a significant bottleneck? My friend has the 240 and a 4650 and he's getting 140+FPS in Assassin's Creed with everything maxed at 1280 x 960. (He would go higher on the resolution, but 1280 x 960 is his monitors max lol.)
I would shoot for a 4670 if possible it is worth the extra change. 240 is a decent processer and will do fine for most any game for about 2 or so years
Yeah, I was looking at the 4670 too, I think it's worth the extra $15, being that it gets nearly 20+ FPS in every benchmark I've read. [editline]04:42AM[/editline] Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.
Save up and get a 5770.
[QUOTE=lemonlimecom;18903160]Save up and get a 5770.[/QUOTE] Later man. Probably sometime this summer when I start working again. I get no income during the winter, so getting money is tough.
I would get a 4670 and a Sempron 140. unlock the second core on the sempron, and upgrade later to a 550BE or something.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;18904530]I would get a 4670 and a Sempron 140. unlock the second core on the sempron, and upgrade later to a 550BE or something.[/QUOTE] I don't have enough for both right now. I'm gonna stick with the 4650 for now and get 5000 series card this summer. Also for CPU, 240 or 620? L3 Cache? Or a Quad-core? I feel like leaning towards the 620, but what do you guys think?
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;18904530]I would get a 4670 and a Sempron 140. unlock the second core on the sempron, and upgrade later to a 550BE or something.[/QUOTE] You need a 790X, GX, or FX motherboard, or one of the ones listed on overclockers.uk in order to unlock cores, some other mobo's don't allow that such as my 780g or 770
Yeahhh no can do with that. This is my motherboard. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186143[/url]
You need SB 710 or 750 and ACC (advanced clock calibration) with hybrid and normal options.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;18905755]No it's just the SB710/50 south bridge you need.[/QUOTE] Lol, my south bridge is the SB700.
If I OC'd would it lessen or eliminate the bottleneck? Or would it not matter?
-snip-, wrong thread
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;18904530]I would get a 4670 and a Sempron 140. unlock the second core on the sempron, and upgrade later to a 550BE or something.[/QUOTE] but you need the right south bridge
