| Jan 25, 2016 at 16:49 | comment | added | Happy Face | @AndriyLysak Ok, I don't need a powerful GPU that run for example gta5 or just cause 3 smoothly in 60fps in full hd. If it's not over the budget, then I will get it. The problem is I don't know how well the gpu do, if a cheaper gpu will run the games smoothly in 60fps, I definitely will get that. | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 16:33 | comment | added | user588 | @HappyFace the reason for the difference in price is: R9 380x has twice as many stream processors (2048). While R7 370 has 1024. More processors generally means better performance. The better overall for you would be the R9. If or when you will decide to upgrade your CPU the R9 will be better suited to keep up and even probably deliver a bit more performance since it probably wont be bottlenecked with a better CPU. | |

| Jan 25, 2016 at 16:29 | comment | added | Happy Face | So, if I pick graphics card, which is better? R9 380X or R7 370 (both 4GB)? Though, R7 370 is lot cheaper than 380x, but I don't see differences in specifications. Well, one is DDR5 and another is GDDR5. Is this the reason why it's so much difference in price? Why? Thx for the answer. | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 16:09 | comment | added | patricksweeney | Right, but the IPC for something like the g2030 is a lot lower than an i3 6100, which is still a dual core CPU. What I'm saying is that something like a 370 might be a better choice, being a good deal cheaper and probably won't be "held back" as much as a 380x. Heck, even the 380 is a lot cheaper than the 380x. That being said, if OP has the budget it's not like there's any real harm going overkill on the GPU. | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 16:04 | comment | added | Status3543 | @patricksweeney Most games still don't fully utilize more than 2 cores. There is a possibility of a CPU bottleneck for some games but going from using an Intel HD iGPU to anything at all will probably blow his mind. He can upgrade the CPU later as needs arise. | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 16:03 | comment | added | Status3543 | @HappyFace Intel HD Graphics does do graphics yes. You may not have an actual GPU. It would be sticking out of your motherboard and look like the thing I linked. | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 15:27 | comment | added | patricksweeney | I don't think it's a good idea recommending a 380x to pair with a relatively low end dual core CPU. An i3 dual core? Sure. Maybe even the g3258 AE. But the g2030 appears to be a decent amount slower then those, so OP could be in a bottlenecking situation. | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 15:26 | comment | added | Happy Face | How can I find the graphics card on my pc? Is that Intel HD Graphics? | |
