g3220 and 750ti no bottleneck?

[idieorudie]

My friend uses this setup and his gpu usage is 100% in most games! Are the pentiums so powerful?

[Atmos]

Single core performance, yes.

Multicore, not in any which way. In any game that can use more than two cores it will fall short, very short. But that would be expected with what is ussually a single core hyperthreaded, or dual cores not hyperthreaded.

 

EDIT** Also, the 750ti is not a very powerful card.

[JoaoPRSousa]

It wont bottleneck, but I dont know why it is running at 100%...

[SuperPug]

750Ti is not a very powerful card and the pentium is pretty good in some games...

they're good little CPUs. great for gaming on a budget, but dont expect to be maxing out games like b4 or crysis 3 with one. Low to medium gamings is their aim.

[themaniac]

no way at all there is no such thing as a bottleneck with those two parts

At 1080p the gpu is pegged at 100%

no, it's the 750ti that is THAT weak.

sure...but what you should monitor is the FPS and in-games setting.

[idieorudie]

At 1080p it does

He also doesn't know why!

[i_build_nanosuits]

i know why, as i said your ''friend'' got a low end CPU and a low-end GPU...so they are a good match, offering low end performance across the board.

Even a 5 years old AMD athlon X4 would fill a 750ti at 1080p

[ShadowCaptain]

why would there be a bottleneck, they should perform well together

 

technically they bottleneck each other since they are low performance parts, but one should not stop the other being fully utilized 

[idieorudie]

no, it's the 750ti that is THAT weak.

Last light on ultra he gets around 27

[i_build_nanosuits]

Last light on ultra he gets around 27

yeah...exactly.

[idieorudie]

yeah...exactly.

My 970 in his system gets 64 in last light on ultra

@70-75% gpu load

The 60$ chip is not that bad for a 60$ chip!

because dying light use CPU core 1 to it's max and then dump the rest on the other available threads...but it's not a really cpu heavy multi-threaded games...

Many other games would run A LOT worse on a dual core CPU like that...here's my testing of haswell dual core @4.5ghz with GTX 780:

 

Has you can see when the games gets taxing across many threads all hell breaks loose and the GPU loads go down the drain and the games turn to slow stuttery mess rather quickly (and that's when they launch, many games now won't even launch on this such as CoD: AW, dragon age, farcry4...

 

but yeah i must admit for 50$ that CPU still rocks and can very well be the buy of the day depending on the games you play, at what resoltuion on which GPU etc...750ti is a good match for this CPU...play games on medium settings at 30-45FPS just fine most of the time...yes.

Well that is explains this result! Thanks!

as G3220 user for several months, i admit this processor is very nice. it can handle AAA games quite well. but for <1080p user, this processor can be such pain for them because it bottleneck the GPU performance quite bad. G3220+7870 on 1440x900 monitor only achieve up to 30 fps (ultra) and GPU usage only at 40-65%.
