Graphic Cards Graphics card Bottleneck

HI Guyz ,

I am thinking of buying a GPU and the sole purpose is to play FIFA 15 . I used to have a HD 5870 ( which burnt - bitcoin mining ) and am using 9600 GT currently . Dont play any other games much .

My RIG :
CPU = C2Q Q9550 @ 3.4 Ghz
Motherboard = GA- P43T USB3

GPU Choices :
1> HD 7870
2> R9 270x
3> HD 7950
4> GTX 760


My question is will my CPU bottleneck any of the above mention Graphic Cards . Since I dont play games now a days I have no desire to spend 50-60k on an upgrade .

Yes a bit overkill imo since that cpu is almost 5 years old.
Since you plan on playing only Fifa get a sub 10k gpu or save even more and get something used if it's under warranty.

Fifa 14 benches decently on the Intel HD 4000, so should work on your existing 9600GT itself. In any case you need to wait for Fifa 15 to launch to see how that runs.

The Fifa 15 Demo is out and its not even running on the 9600GT .. Its lagging on my friends GT 630 . Thus my concern .
I need a GPU that will run the game in 1080 p resolution with high graphics .

Ah looks like they've moved to a new game engine. The GTX 650 Ti is handling it well, and if they're managing with an FX 4100 then your C2Q shouldn't be a bottleneck : http://www.game-debate.com/news/?ne...=FIFA 2015 Demo Nvidia GTX 650 2GB Benchmarks

The GTX 660 should be a good buy, people reported getting it for around 12k on snapdeal.

I have played it (Fifa 14 - but nothing has changed dramatically from their old engine) on 7770. Runs like a charm. It would be around 7500 on flipkart - should serve you well for next 2 years atleast.
And no, I dont see why Fifa 15 would bottleneck on the processor. Its a port from PS3
