AMD RX460 on dated hardware

-1

I have an older computer, with an i5 3000 series processor (I think 3330 but I'm not sure, I need to check home), about 8 gigs of RAM and a HD7750. I want to upgrade my video card to play Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator at 60 fps constant (for now it runs at about 56-59 with minimum details) and maybe some newer fancier stuff, so I'm conservatively planning to get a RX460. My MOBO has a PCIE-3 slot so I have the connectivity. Am I planning too conservatively? Will this choke on my computer? Am I better off with a 470?

a 470 is definitely better. You can then raise your graphics level, maybe even some of the settings on high. – cybernard – 2017-01-16T17:41:15.163

I assume your monitor is 1080p,

While your CPU is still perfectly fine, upgrading to an RX 460 means at least a 25% performance boost.

You'd be able to play this game with maxed out graphics but not at 60 fps.

If that really matters, just disable anti-aliasing or even upgrade to an RX 470 for more bang for your bucks.

thanks for the realistic numbers. I'll think about it. Sadly RX470 cost at least 120 euros if not more than a RX460 here. – Sorin Lascu – 2017-01-17T11:16:18.307
