FX8350 bottleneck 980ti?

Hey Guys!

 

Do you guys think a FX8350 would bottleneck a 980ti?

The 8350 is overclocked to 4.3GHz... Just curious :)

 

Thanks in advance!

It depends on the game. In many games, it wont be a problem. In others, it will be a huge bottleneck. Not every game is coded to divide its CPU load evenly among many cores.

yeah, it pretty much is no matter what you overclock it at

overclocking it doesn't magically make the single core performance equal to an intel CPU's

 

it wont be a big bottleneck though, usually less than 10%, but you will always get better performance from an i5/i7

That's a 970, not 980ti

Intel Core i7 9700k - EVGA FTW GTX 970

+1 This man is genius! Even i5 4590 > FX 8350.

Well, FX 8350 will not bottneck 980TI base on review, you can pair a $50 CPU with a $600 GPU and you still get a good FPS, yes a FX 5000 series with NVIDIA GTX 980TI.

It won't if you OC it to 4.8Ghz+

 

ya it will, FX-9590 which is at 5 GHz bottlenecks the GTX 980, I'd hate to see what it would do to a GTX 980ti

My 8320 doesn't bottleneck my 760s in SLI. Obviously performance will be lower but it won't be a bottleneck. DX12 will help too.

thats 760 SLI, not a GTX 980 lol

 

I had GTX 670 SLI with a 8350 which is pretty much the same thing, but 670 sli < 980

Do you know the actual meaning of bottleneck? And DX 12 can't really help CPU that are 4 years old and perform poorly compared to even Intel Sandybridge i5/i7 of the same age.

760 x2 = a little better than a 780ti.

Not allowing full potential because of a tight point. Maybe you don't, just because the performance is lower does not mean there is a bottleneck.

Lmao, you really don't do you? Hows that GPU utilization for both cards going?

Great actually, both reach above 95% GPU utilization in all games i've used.

By your bottleneck logic, an i5 4690k bottlenecks a 980 because an i7 5960x has a higher FPS. lol?

Once again, lower performance != bottlenecking.

GTX 670 SLI < GTX 690 = GTX Titan < GTX 780 Ti < GTX 980 < GTX 980 TI

 

the 980 ti is going to bottleneck like a mofo

the thing is the 5960X doesn't get more fps....

There is a 20 - 30 FPS difference between a 780ti and 980ti. You shouldn't see GPU utilization drop with DX12 and an overclocked 8350. We can't say for sure... I'd still think it would be fine for now with DX12.

Its about a 0 - 3FPS difference depending on the game.

literally read what you just wrote, it's a minuscule difference

Still performs better. Mostly with BF4.
