Will it "Bottleneck" my pc

Go to solution Solved by Guest,

Nope, it's a six core FX 6300 bought from amazon and nope it's under a Hyper 212 EVO. Maybe if I upgrade to Windows 8 it'll get better.

Ofcourse! That's the problem, BF4 sucks under Windows 7, trust me, install windows 8 and dips will disappear and you will get at least 20 more FPS!

the gigabyte has 2 8x and 14x which enough for gfx cards and sli :)

 

  1. 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16) (Note 3)
  2. 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x8 (PCIEX8) (Note 4)
  3. 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4)
  4. 2 x PCI Express x1 slots
  5. (All PCI Express slots conform to the PCI Express 2.0 standard.)
  6. 2 x PCI slots

Yeah 2 X8 should be fine as long as you have two lanes running at the same speed it's when you missmatch speeds that you incounter issues

note the x16 lane changes to x8 when sli and crossfirex is used

 

(Note 4) The PCIEX8 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16 slot. When the PCIEX8 slot is populated, the PCIEX16 slot will operate at up to x8 mode.

(Note 5) The PCIEX16 slot operates at up to x8 mode when AMD CrossFireX™ is enabled.

So yup that should be a fine motherboard for SLI then not sure if there would be much difference between dual X16 and X8 if any at all

I did find this mother board a little cheaper

This cpu is mainly a bottleneck for CF/SLI setups and you're also not much with a board that does SLI.

Rather get this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-H81M-P33-LGA1150-M-ATX-Motherboard/dp/B00EPLE3J4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1402772652&sr=8-2&keywords=h81
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-3-10GHz-Extended-Technology-Execute/dp/B00EF1G8XI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1402772625&sr=8-1&keywords=i5+4430

132£ for a 6300 or 157£ for a much better CPU? The i5 clearly wrecks that 6300 in terms of price/performance.
 

 

*

He's not saving 80$, just 20£. With that i5 you're atleast getting an IPC boost up to 80% and it's multithreaded performance is better - just a nobrainer.

Trade the CPU out for the 8320

Im not going to get into the Intel vs. AMD debate. 

 

I fine tuned the setup and spent a touch more to get better performance.

 

270X(129) Replaced with R9 280 (159)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/VTX3D-280-X-Edition-Graphics-Express/dp/B00IY182ZM/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1402771788&sr=1-1&keywords=R9+280

 

 

8320 on Amazon UK is 27.96 more then a FX6300

http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX8320-Edition-4-0GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YU56/ref=sr_1_9?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1402771992&sr=1-9&keywords=R9+280

 

Corsair 1600 CL9 2x4 GB(58.99) was replaced with G. Skill Trident X 2400 CL10 2x4GB(63.88) 4.89 more

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skill-PC3-19200-2400MHz-Gaming-Memory/dp/B007V9RXFI/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1402772116&sr=1-2&keywords=G+Skill

 

970A-DS3P(55.27) replaced with AsRock 990FX Killer mobo(108.07) 52.86 more

http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASRock-Motherboard-Socket-ASROCK-990FX/dp/B00HQRDE7Q/ref=sr_1_22?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1402772392&sr=1-22&keywords=990FX

Or go with the Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0(90.51) 35.24 more

http://www.amazon.co.uk/M5A99X-R2-0-Motherboard-PCI-Express-iControl/dp/B008RPZUZK/ref=sr_1_18?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1402772392&sr=1-18&keywords=990FX

 

In theory for 88.09 more you could end up with a much better rig. Better OCing mob, 8 core instead of 6, faster and lower CL ram, and better video card.

 

EDIT: You can also spend a comparable amount and get an Intel Mobo and i5. Depending on pricing in your area of course.

so he should go for a i5.. and considering they cost as much and its WAY better than a 6 core amd... which is totally useless and slower... so what do you mean its a waste of money? his or my suggestion?

i5 isn't better for gaming than a 6300, get it through your head, how could you base your opinion if you never actually provided any benchmark to prove that in that task fx 6 series is slower?

Actually, I'm going to get into this because I'm really unhappy with the performance I've gotten with my FX 6300 in Battlefield 4. My frames would sometimes dip down to the 40s sometimes even 38 or so and that's pretty noticeable, I hated playing BF4. Thankfully AMD's Mantle came to save the day, now I rarely dip below 60 in high settings also with a 270X. This clearly shows I need a bit more CPU power. I'd get the FX 8320 it's only a few more bucks.

Did you unpark cores? FX 6300 shouldn't bottleneck 270x in any way. Even 750k wouldn't.

Silicon lottery.

 

If the 6300 was that much better in overclocking then I would have my 6350 in my rig instead of my 8350. 

 

You can also shut off 2 of the cores on an 8320/8350 and overclock it if you want to equal the 6300 in certain tasks. Multi-threaded stuff the 8320 would be faster.

Indeed. The interesting thing is my 8350 actually overclocks better on 8 cores then my 6350 on 6(Results are in @Jumper118 Cinebench thread). So it's a silicon lottery, in which I would go with the 105 GBP 8320 and it will leave you the option to shut of 2 cores and overclock further on the remaining 6.

Thats barely an upgrade. You're just going to pay 200$ for something that wouldn't do any better than your current one. 8320/8350's are pretty much useless for gaming, neither does the price/performance ratio make any sense at all.
