bottle necking help

AMD FX 9370 Black Edition, Vishera, 8 Core, S AM3+, Clock 4.4GHz, Turbo 4.7GHz, im guessing this would not bottle neck 

[-rascal-]

What's up with the BIG FONT and funny colours?

 

If you are even thinking of getting a FX-9370, might as well just get a FX-8350 and overclock it to 4.4GHz.

The FX-9370 is just a factory overclocked FX-8350....and 4.4GHz can be quite easily achieved on a FX-8350.

 

I have my FX-8350 @ 4.8GHz right now...which is higher than the FX-9590 (4.7GHz, 5.0GHz Turbo).

 

 

There is no point getting a 4GB R9-270X.

More VRAM =/= faster.

 

A 4GB R9-290X will always be faster than a 4GB R9-270X. Even if it is a....8GB R9-270X.

I found these for you to illustrate the level of bottleneck that may be present. these first 3 pics with a whole bunch of gpus were tested with an i7 3960x at 3.9ghz so that every gpu here is at 100% performance. i want you to focus on the gtx 680 performance at 1080p (blue) because the next set of test relate to that gpu and not the 280x specifically

 

 

Now we come to these tests. These tests are illustrating cpu bottlenecks of a gtx 680 under the same ultra preset settings. so you can look at the darker grey and reds to compare to the blues up top to get a very rough guesstimate of how much bottleneck will be present with the 6600k

But the A8 6600k is way better than the FX 6100 on single threaded software, which is basically most of the games out there.

 

Oh wow I couldn't imagine that. But it's true. That really suprised me. But it's probably GHz related. A FX 6350 will most likely keep up with it. I know why I switched to Intel. What a shame I really like AMD as a company.

A FX 6100 is a bulldozer CPU (just like the 8150), AMD tried a new architecture, that if the software was optimized enough It'd have turned out well.

But it didn't, the FX Bulldozer series acually performs worse than the Phenom II... Yuck.

Piledriver and future architectures from AMD got into the APUs quickly, and that's what the OP has, and it's much better than the older FX series. It's not only the clockspeed, the architecture is better.

 

AMD has a great plan with their CPUs and APUs, it's all part of a strategy and if it ends up working you are going to hop back on the AMD train faster than expected. Most people just see the performance of current AMD offerings and complain they are underpowered. The truth of it is, current products are underpowered, but they have their place on the market; if AMD can make developers and optimization of their ideas get supported you may pick them over an Intel processor. Of course they can also screw it up lol.

Why did I start discussing with you in the first place. It's useless and annoying. i think you talk a lot of crap

i am right. i tested me self + there is the proof.so yeah

Yeah I know. I think a Bulldozer successor based on optimised Steamroller would be really interesting. But let's see what AMD holds for us. i just hope they come back into the high end section, just not with crap like Bulldozer. On the other hand I have to say so far Intel is pretty much doing nothing. I really expected far more from Haswell. I think my i7 3770K is awesome, but it's sad that the Haswell CPUs are not really better.

Honestly I get a lot more excited about the "budget" parts they bring us, how awesome they can get the price/performance!
