Posted July 23, 2014 Would an AMD FX8350 bottleneck the following graphics cards (using 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM) GTX 770 GTX 780 GTX 780 Ti Normally, I'm not a fan of AMD CPUs but they're cheap compared to their Intel counterparts, and costs can be saved to improve other aspects, but I'm not sure if these AMD CPUs can handle games and whether or not they will bottleneck the better GPUs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 23, 2014 Slightly sometimes on the Ti. very Slightly sometimes on the 780, not on the 770 "My opinion is that your opinion is wrong." - AlwaysFSX CPU I5 4690k MB MSI Gaming 5 RAM 2 x 4GB HyperX Blu DDR3 GPU Asus GTX970 Strix, Case Corsair 760T Storage 1 x 120GB 840EVO 1 x 1TB WD Blue, 1 x 500GB Toshiba The cave/beast v2 (OLD) http://imgur.com/a/8AmeH PSU 600W Raidmax RX600AF Displays ASUS VS278Q-P x2, BenQ Xl2720z Cooling Dark Rock 3, 4 AP120s Keyboard Logitech G710+ Mouse Razer Deathadder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 23, 2014 no they wont, bottleneck means just that the cpu doesnt squeeze the full potential out of thr gpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 23, 2014 the 8350 is a great cpu, it shouldn't be a bottleneck on any video card out right now and will perform just fine OAS || AAS || LLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks for the replies, maybe I might not overlook the AMD CPUs as easily now Yeah it does bottleneck, but only by about 10-15fps.

Posted July 23, 2014 if it is as @Enderman said its only just and then all you have to do is put a slight overclock on the CPU and that will disappear.

Posted July 23, 2014 if it is as @Enderman said its only just and then all you have to do is put a slight overclock on the CPU and that will disappear. in which case if you had an i5 you could also overclock it and make an even greater difference.

Posted July 23, 2014 Technically it's not the 8350 that is bottlenecking. It's the graphics API that is causing the issue. Also ram with some speed (1866) and lower latency (CL9) do help gain back some of that performance loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 23, 2014 Don't expect a yes or no answer when youre not even listing what games you play. Could be any cpu, people just shouldnt say yes or no without knowing what games the OP plays.
