The best gpu for my cpu

Yep. Also; http://www.microcenter.com/site/products/amd_bundles.aspx
They also have intel deals.

 

Yes. BeamNG will likely still bottleneck, but most other games shouldn't. The R7 260x is a slightly improved version of the HD 7790, and the R7 265 is a slightly improved version of the HD 7850.
Performance wise, they stack up like so: HD 7790 < R7 260x << HD 7850 < R7 265.

 

So my phenom should run SMOOTHLY with these gpus? That's my question cause every time I run beamng my cpu fan is LOUD! But I don't know if it is the graphics card so that's my question

 

*Sigh* Any GPU will work "smoothly" with any processor. An analogy of what happens: We have Carl PUstero, and his brother Gary PUstero. Carl runs the house and tells everyone, including Gary, what to do. Let's say Gary is fast, and Carl is slow. Carl will tell Garry to go to something, Garry goes and does it really quick and comes back to Carl, waiting for Carl to think up another direction to give him.

If Garry is slow and Carl is fast, Carl will tell Garry what to do, Garry will go and do it, but by the time Garry gets back to Carl, Carl already has something new for Garry to do and been waiting to tell him for quite some time.

CPU and GPU bottlenecks will never result in choppy performance in any applications, it just means one of your components is stuck twiddling its metaphorical thumbs while it waits for the other component to catch up. If you buy a GPU that is bottlenecked by your CPU now, all that means is that the GPU won't be able to work at it's fullest speed. It would behave exactly like, or slightly better than, like the card that wasn't being bottlenecked. The difference is, if you buy a GPU that your CPU will bottleneck now, you can grow into that extra power later when you upgrade your CPU. Think of it like this: You can buy a pair of pants that fits perfectly right now and have to replace them when you grow, or you could buy a slightly baggy pair of pants that fit OK now and NOT have to replace them next time you grow.

 

Also take a look at the GTX750Ti, its a beast for it's price and power consumption! (better than a HD 7770, closer to a HD7870) and it would suit your CPU nicely. However, a HD7770 or R7 260X is a pretty awesome GPU nonetheless!

 

So I'll get the 750ti. Someone said my cpu is cpu bound to beamng so I don't know what that means. I'll get the 750ti

 

Good choice, but an R7 260X like mine is cheaper and performs similarly. Get a 750 Ti if you want, though.

 

My OCed 7770 paired with a i7 3770 would barely get 20 fps at Dry Rock Island, either my card was a bad one or you are being a bit optimistic about your numbers. My GTX 580 gets a little more fps than your 7770, but a 580 should be considerably better and not just a bit.

 

Why the hell would someone buy a GTX 580?? Also a HD 7770 is a very entry level card... Your CPU is good, very good, but that graphics card just doesn't cut it...

I recommended the GTX 750 Ti simply because it's cheap, very power efficient, runs stupidly cool and quiet, has pretty good performance (better than a HD 7770 or a R7 260x and trading shots with the HD 7850 or the R7 270) and it is the very first card based on the new Maxwell architecture, which means drivers are only getting better and better, and some models don't even need additional power! The PCI-E is enough!

 

I bought the 580 because I got it for cheap. And you are right about the 7770, it isn't a very good card...

 

Do you know what it means for my cpu to be cpu bound?

 

But did you have SSAO off ? It boosts the framerate a lot with it off. I'm really not embellishing. In Dry Rock, I get 30 - 40 FPS at 1366x768, but I never mentioned Dry Rock in my post.

I don't know why you guys are saying the 7770 isn't a good card. It's not a powerhouse, but come on. It's great bang for the buck. I see one here on NewEgg for $90. $75 after mail-in rebate. It's also very low wattage, which makes it very cool and quiet.

 

Your CPU is not quite powerful enough for BeamNG, and as such will hold back the full potential of other components in your PC that rely on your CPU while playing BeamNG. The GPU example of this is that the CPU is too busy calculating BeamNG's physics to create instructions for the GPU at the same time, meaning it has to juggle back and forth between the two. Meaning for the most immediate performance gain, your CPU should be upgraded, but your GPU is also a very weak gaming card. With that said, upgrading your GPU would be more important for most games other than BeamNG.

 

Driving over the bridge in DRI I get around 35 fps with postfx off at 1080p, at spawn I get around 60-70. When you said ' a terrain with moderate vegetation' I just assumed DRI, my bad. Maybe a 7770 isn't a bad card, but it's definitely an entry level card as it is about as good as a 650 which is, well, not a very fast card... You can't even play BF4 at lowest settings at all on a 7770/650.

Sorry for all the of topic.

 

thats bull, considering i can run bf4 at lowest settings on my intel hd 2500

 

I agree it's an entry level card. It's better than the 650 ( http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1079?vs=1125 ), but I know what you mean.

I'm starting to think you had a bad 7770 though because this video really contradicts what you're saying about Battlefield 4 with a 7770.



He said he gets an average FPS of 90 with low settings at 1080p | 60 FPS with medium settings | 50 on high | and 40 on ultra..

 

When I tried BF4 on my 7770 I barely got a solid 30 fps on lowest, I have no idea why I seem to get so bad fps?

 

Maybe your card wasn't throttling correctly, so it was staying at 2d speeds in 3d apps. I've had that happen and it is a lot slower.

 

That's possible, wasn't using MSI afterburner at the time...

 

well if you save a bit more actually BEFORE you bought Essentio, you could get a CG8270 (like mine) which in Singapore, the price is at $2007.
