Hello,
This is my first time posting in TPU and I'm from Malaysia. I have been following this forum for quite some time now and decided to register to seek some advice..
I got my system about a year plus ago. This is what I'm going to do with it. I plan to buy another HD 4770 and crossfire it with my current HD 4770. I'm eyeing on a XFX HD-477A-YDFC HD4770 512MB DDR5 from a local online bidding and shopping site.
I need some assurance on how well it'll work out. I don't fancy playing games on Direct 10 or 11, what important to me is the FPS. Any future games or current latest games, i want them run well above 40 FPS on my LCD with the max resolution of 1,600 x 900.
I don't plan to replace any other parts except my GPU. All these in a budget of 172 USD (i know its not much )
So here are some of the questions I would like to ask, and any advice are mostly welcomed and appreciated
1. Can my single HD 4770 bottleneck my current CPU from max utilization during gaming on a 1280 resolution?
2. Will my mobo bottleneck 4770 CF settings due to the PCIE limited bandwidth upon using two PCIE slot?
3. Is my PSU sufficient for 4770 CF?
4. Will my stock speed CPU bottleneck 4770 CF ?
5. How well will 4770 CF perform on the latest games?
6. Other GPU recommendations with budget in mind?
Details on my mobo and psu listed below
