Graphic Cards HD 7850 via i3 2120.. will it choke?

[DJWARLORD]

Hi All,

GPU: AMD HD7850 2GB
CPU: Intel i3 2120 3.3Ghz

Q1. Will i be able to get 1080 gaming exp in ultra high settings with 60 FPS for single player mode..?
Q2. What advantage can i get by moving to Haswell Architecture?

I could find a blog that said about low fps in this combination of i3 and 7850

1.I guess it depends on the games you play.
2.Nothing on performance point of view. If you want to upgrade getting an i5 makes more sense.

1. Not in post 2011 games.

2. None.

1. It'll struggle in ultra high in crysis 3, tomb raider, far cry 3 and metro 2033/last light for sure. Most of the remainder will run fine.
2. Pretty much zilch. You need a faster gpu.

at 1080p you will be gpu limited for the most part. strategy games like SC2, total war, shogun 2 will require you to have a quad core cpu for better perfomance...overall you will get descent scores in latest games.
