Hey everyone

I was thinking of buying a Athlon II X3

Along with a HD 4890 or a GTX 460 - Is the processor good and would it bottleneck ?

thanks

it would be okay, it is fairly good for the price, wat do you have now? Graphics card wise get the 460 over a 4890

atm just a old sempron.

How would 460 GTX perform in DX 10 and 9 games in comparison with a 4890 ?

Jae-So · 26 Sep 2010 at 12:26

It should perform better than a 4890 in most titles

Right, thanks.

I would make sure you do get a decent PSU for your setup too.

Best tell us it budget and any other bits that u have that can be possibly reused. Just CPU and gpu isn't everything.
