Upgrade help

Roonat123 · 25 Jan 2014 at 18:00

I'm thinking of buying a R9 270 to replace my failing 5850.

Given the spec of my system;

P6t Deluxe and i7 930, will it be able to handle the new card or will their be major CPU bottlenecks?

Secondly do you think upgrading mobo and CPU to a 4470 will be worthwhile?

Any thoughts would be greats
Thanks

TBH I think a you will be fine with the i7 930 for a bit longer and a 270 shouldn't be held back by it. If push comes to shove you could always OC it.

Cpu will be grand, perhaps look into overclocking it a touch.

I very much agree with this.
