Question

[medar]

how bad is a 23% bottleneck? I have an FX 6300 4.0GHz and a gtx 770 and a website is showing 23% bottleneck. I plan on upgrading it but while using this current build can the parts be damaged somehow? idk. How much worse is the performance than the performance without a bottleneck.

[FloRolf]

well the old FX CPUs are generally pretty shitty. The 23% is really a number that's hard to translate to something real world but generally if the GTX770 would give you 100 FPS with a modern high end CPU then your system would only get 77 FPS. Since it's an average number you might see A LOT higher bottlenecks in certain titles and little to nothing in others. 

 

But no, unless your PSU is shit the components will not get damaged by a shitty combination of CPU and GPU.

I know this is besides the topic but what CPU would fit this GPU you think? Because I may consider it when upgrading my motherboard  and CPU which is soon.

Bottleneck calculators are shit.

 

Both parts in this calculation are shit.

 

No, parts cannot be damaged by a "bottleneck."

 

No matter how many threads like this you post, the fact will remain that any money put into this system is a waste because it's taking away from the budget for a full replacement on a modern platform.

if you want to get something modern, pretty much anything really. I think the R5 5500 is a good deal. You might want to consider a new GPU as well though, the 770 is quite dated by now.

bro pls stop stalking me its weird af, GPU can be transfered to any system that is why I upgraded it. And if you think the GPU is low-end well for me it is an okay GPU and it will serve me good, not everyone has the money to afford a high end modern gpu you know that right? So why not just let me do my thing.

what about the Ryzen 5 2400G is that a good start?

I haven't responded to any of your posts in like two weeks. 

 

If you don't want to see people's posts, the ignore function exists, but eventually you're going to reach a point where everybody willing to give you an honest and useful answer to your questions is either blocked or just doesn't want to bother anymore. 

 

The 2400G is a superior CPU to the FX 6300 and its integrated graphics are equivalent to or a little worse than the 260x your profile says you have now, and it has a semi-viable upgrade path, so I would spend money there before I would buy a "new" GPU which is 9 years old and out of driver support.

Sure but then I'd make sure to get a decent board that supports Ryzen 5000 chips in case you want to upgrade again. 

 

Also it kinda depends on how much the 2400G goes for. I personally would rather spend a couple money's more to get 2022 hardware.

Yeah it can be transferred, but whether it's worth transferring is another question. 

 

As said above, this system is beyond the point of upgrading, it's to the point where you should be saving up and building an entirely new system, only maybe saving the storage (even that's debatable since the drives are likely too old to be trusted). It's just too old to be worth keeping around.

It's better than the 6300, but that's about all that's good to be said about it. The i3 12100F will be leaps and bounds faster than it for maybe $50 more for a full platform.

Bro you're the only one who I don't agree on my posts what are you on about man. I don't hate you ur just annoying sometimes, but I still like that u wanna help me so I appreciate it. It's like I can understand your point of view because you must think I am building a spaceship PC that will run anything at 4k fps and stuff but I rlly dont I just wanna play games no multitasking much or anything like that. I'm pretty sure a GTX 770 can handle all of that, could be wrong tho. But U are right it is an old GPU and it will expire soon but the thing is maybe in the future I will get a job and won't even need the GPU as I will not be playing games much, I think ahead so that is why  I don't want to spend too much money on a PC. I ain't an ultra hardcore gamer I just play a cpl games when I come from school to chill out and that's abt it.

Yea I tried to protect the 6300 tbh but too much hate on it so I can't rly it isn't that good, I have some lagg spikes myself even while using my PC daily I can see where the CPU is failing to deliver the performance that is needed to complete a certain task. But not too much I can still use this CPU and be happy with it, the only BIG problem is the games and the fact that it isn't supported anymore by any games and even w11 does not support it that is why I want something newer.

I saw you basically tell @Leventto stop responding when he was telling you stuff you didn't want to hear just the other day.

if we take 23% at facevalue then it's 23%, won't damage anything, i suggest upgrading both when you do.

That bottleneck doesn't make sense to me. I had an fx 6300 with a gtx 970 years ago and it ran great.

 

A bottleneck cannot damage components. That's not a thing.
