Would this bottleneck

[OneManWolfPack5]

Would a 4770k bottleneck a R9 295x2 please help!

[mrbaritonefreak]

Not at all

[Str_Mape]

Nope, you should be perfectly fine.

[flibberdipper]

Hell no. An i5 4670K (or the Haswell Refresh version, whatever it's called) probably wouldn't even bottleneck it.

[Shd0w2]

Nno.

[Sonefiler]

Nope

Overclock it though to be safe, some CPU intensive games might just  not work as well.

[Ryan Leech]

Yes.

[the ginger gamer]

Definitely not, both are very high end. Also bottle necking is less common and less of a problem then most people tend to think. 

[loccilucas]

nope

[RubyRoks]

You're fine

[winningsince1337]

Yes.

Sorry but no, the 4770k is faster than an x79 in most cases so, you're wrong.

[Legenderys]

Man i think you should take this if you don't want to bottleneck it....

MAN ARE YOU SERIOUS?? OF COURSE NOT

[Ryan Leech]

I guarantee that the 4770K will bottleneck the R9 295X2 

 

@Faa

[Guest Kloaked]

No.

 

FTFY

[Ryan Leech]

FTFY

lol

[OneManWolfPack5]

You're fine

Nno.

thanks

Agreed. All cpu's are bottlenecking. Singleplayer games suck, low multiplayer count games too so forget them and all massive MP games are cpu bound. That 290x2 or 295x we it is, it's just useless besides playing singleplayer games in 4K.

There's no yes/no answer for OP's question.

this sounds wildly opinionated. I'm pretty sure the OP would be fine with the combination he has in damn near any game he plays. Depending on his case and budget, i'd rather buy a pair of 780Ti's or 290x's, but he should be fine with this in even the most demanding of titles

Hmmm.... Go play chess then? No one said you had play video games... lol

I really don't see how it could. Haswell has a higher IPC than Ivy Bridge (ex: 4930k) and having 6 cores and 12 threads that are running effectively slower on software that (for the most part) can't effectively use that many threads. There's no problem with the PCIe 3.0 x16 because that has loads more bandwidth than that 295x2 could soak up. Show us some benchmarks in a game that isn't based off some terrible engine. Sure, maybe if you were running 20 instances of goat simulator that all have the goat bouncing around the map you just might be able to CPU bound the 295x2...

 

In a nutshell, if it's a decent game with an optimized engine AND crossfire profiles, it's not going to be CPU bound. Period.

So you're basically trying to say that CPU bound games dont exist? Nice claim, so we all should ignore any CPU intel releases till our cpu is dead since there arent cpu bound games. Lets all add 50 gtx 780's in SLI when we aren't even pulling the max out of a 6870..

Want me to list a bunch of games where the 4770k will bottleneck a 295x2?

Borderlands 2

BF3

BF4

BFH

BC2

Planetside 2

Dayz/Arma

WoW

Wildstar

Eso

Swtor

Skyrim

Hawken

Any upcoming massive multiplayer game

Watchdogs

 

Hmmm.... Go play chess then? No one said you had play video games... lol

 

Yeah I have two 780's just for the nice geforce gtx logo bling.

Another guy who claims cpu bound games don't exist >.>

What has a 4770k's bottlenecking to do with a 4930K? If a 4930K bottlenecks then any cpu on the market will and like Haswells IPC ever made the difference between bottlenecking or not over ivy bridge in low threaded games. 

 

 

lol

They don't even ask what games the OP plays or for what resolution he's going to use that card for and they all say immediately no when they weren't aware that cpu bound games are cpu bottlenecked.

That's not what i said at all,

I find it hard to believe that the battlefield titles are CPU bound considering this video:

DayZ, standalone or not, will bottleneck EVERY machine, so i don't even bother considering it when talking about bottlenecks, but as far as ArmA goes, you may be right.

WoW can be maxed EASILY by budget PCs

and from the looks of it, Watch_Dogs is a bad console port.

I'm not going to bother going through every game you listed just to prove you wrong

I don't ask the resolution because he has his monitor listed on his page, dimwit. The graphics card is overkill for 1080p in many games, and considering the 144Hz refresh rate of the BenQ XL2720Z, I imagine he'll be playing FPS/TPS games competitively, so an overkill card will be right up his alley for the highest frame rate, and thus, a slight advantage over someone using a 60Hz monitor

While there are CPU bottle necked games (pretty sure I already infered that they existed), things become MUCH more GPU dependent when you push into 4k/higher resolutions. So yes, if the OP was playing on a 720p console baller monitor sure, it'd bottle neck. But, no one who can spend $1500 on a GPU  is running at 720p where it would bottle neck like Alan Kertz's brain and the BF4 netcode problems that 'never existed'. If he's running 4k,  3x 1440p monitors, or 3 1080p monitors, he's likely won't CPU bottleneck. But, I think everyone here but you pretty much understands all of this (except for you). If we didn't have bottlenecks we'd all be getting 420 million fps.

 

BTW your SLI nightlights scare the crap out of me. Please don't point the green logo at me, anything but the green logo...    :unsure:  :wacko:  :blink:

So you call me an ignorant dick when you can't even prove your own nonsense right. Wow won't be max'ed out you must be clueless to come up with this. Get some proper understanding of bottlenecking then come back, same for the other guy. I have the hardware 3930K & 780's and I can show you a shitload of games where the gpu loads are just ridiculously low. Don't respond can't be arsed arguing with people who have no basic understanding of hardware.

My brother's APU based system (A6 5600K, 4GB 1866 RAM, onboard graphics) can play WoW on max settings...

Also, please use proper punctuation. I had to re-read "Wow won't be max'ed out you must be clueless to come up with this." a few times just to understand you. Same with "Don't respond can't be arsed arguing with people who have no basic understanding of hardware."
