Best possible overclock?

[name1]

I have a AMD FX-8370E this old 'beast' has 8 cores 8 threads. I have a GTX 1050 ti SC and I feel that my processor is bottle necking my 1050. I saw a normal 1050 ti averaging 30+ fps in Battlefield V on the ultra settings, while I only seem to get about 40 fps on the low setting... So anyone got any recommendations to overclock my cpu?

 

Thanks!

But what about the high setting? If you're CPU bound then graphics settings like high quality textures will push more load on the GPU and not the CPU so you may only drop 10 frames

 

but yea, battlefield is CPU heavy and the old FX line is not amazing at single threaded loads.

 

Your current cooler and motherboard are very important for giving overclock advice, but nothing beats trial and error. First and foremost, overclock yourself and use standard procedure of set clocks and voltage then test to see it your temps are in check and you're stable.

That 'beast' was never actualy that 'beastly', it has terrible single thread performance which is what always held it back.

 

overclocking wont help much with that processor, and will just drive up its already very high power usage.

 

Time for an upgrade.

aye, it's a good heater. Your normal heater don't let you watch Youtube from it

if you have the cooler for it then sure why not, but don't expect overclocking to save you.

My recommendation would be to uninstall Battlefield V

I am using asus stock cooler, I have no idea what it is but I do know it has no AI tweaker in the bios.

So should I buy a Ryzen 5 2600 and with a Tomahawk motherboard?

not until you can also afford at least 2x4gb 2800MHz+ DDR4 at the same time

It doesn't has to be a Tomahawk, any X370/470 board will do, I'd go for a 1700 instead of a 2600 though because it's probably cheaper and you get 2 more cores, there's little performance difference between 1st and 2nd gen Ryzen

whatever you do avoid cheapo B450s or AX boards, power delivery is crappy on those.

Okay thanks for the help.
