Upgrade Recommendations Required

Hi Ashish,

One more noob question but how do you guess/identify that one of your component is bottle necking. How do you determine that the CPU will bottleneck GPU or vice versa.
Thanks...

Check the review of the Graphics card in different sites. Although they use very high end Processors during testing, you'll get a rough idea about how much FPS your card can provide at different games with different settings. For example, in review, you found out that HD 7770 can provide around 40 FPS at 1080P resolution when being used with a i7 3770 and you ar having an i3 3220 Processor. Then expect something like 30 to 32 FPS in your case. Now run Fraps and check actually how much FPS you're getting. If it very low, occasionally goes below 20 FPS, giving you a choppy experiece, then something is bottlenecking the card.
 
Going to get the gpu this week and have a doubt,

At 1366*768 is the HD 7770 overkill as it see in other threads people recommending cards cheaper than this which can play games at 720p.

Thanks! Was a bit worried about that. Exams this week. Will mostly get / order online on Saturday or Sunday if everything goes all right.

:) Can it run current games at ultra ? or am i hoping for too much? :)

In gpu demanding games easily you can run it at ultra :razz:, you have to tweak setting for games like crysis 3
 
Thanks for the info.

Can you suggest a good free benchmarking tool . I want to measure the performance difference before and after buying the GPU. just for a measure to see how bad the previous card was. ;)

play games. that is the best benchmarking software for you. you will feel the difference and do not need to do any other benchmarking unless you want to make world records with that card ;) these softwares push the gpu to the maximum where games do not. so play games you like and be happy. that is my advice.
 
I would love to do that! But need some concrete proof to show my dad. :| . So need to show the performance increase in numbers.

He is willing to buy the card for me but I'm sure he'll ask me to show how much of improvement there is .That's why.

benchmarking software can sometimes damage cards like furmark is one example.

try 3dmark vantage with performance preset if you really wanted to do.

fraps will make the game stuttering. it uses much more cpu power. it will be ok for just show off, but not for continuous play.
