DanTheGamer11 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 What I am seeing is a solid platform to build the basic net PC off of. A lot of people just want some internet, email and maybe watch a movie and this gives a good cost effective platform to base that off of. 50 watts at full load is really nice. I am curious though about the processor power when added to a discrete card? Could this processor be viable with say a 5770 on it for MMO gaming at 720 or does it carry enough horsepower as it is? remember the pcie x16 slot runs at x4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheGamer11 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Like that matters much. so a 5970 would run at max speed? excluding the processor as a bottle neck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 For mid-range cards, x4 or x16 doesn't matter much if its PCI-e 2.0/2.1. Getting anything more than a 5770 would be a waste with this system since the processor would bottleneck you right out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
