will it bottle neck?

[nerdsmadeearth]

Hey techtip fans! Im building a new computer. And im not sure if it will bottleneck

Cpu:fx 4300

Gpu:gtx 970

Psu:750w

ram:8gigs

[askmax]

Yes, that cpu is just god awful, with that gpu get at the very least an i5.

[SkilledRebuilds]

Yep.

But the GPU will still be at 99-100% usage, just the game engines themselves won't have as much power to use as newer/faster CPU's, hence overall FPS will be slightly lower compared to better CPU's.

GPU will be working fine, just with lower MIN/AVG/MAX fps across the board.

Everything hits a bottleneck. A bottleneck is basically the limiting factor. It's just recommended to buy components that hit their limits at the same time in your desired task.

 

If I had to say, I would say your CPU would bottleneck your GPU in certain CPU intensive games. What really are you trying to do with this system?

[nj4ck]

It wouldn't run very well, no. I'd suggest at least an overclocked FX 6300, an i5 would be better.

Im a youtuber and livestreamer. I play lots of pc games I render videos and use Photoshop

my i5 3350p keeps up with my 780SC, keep that in mind...you might want to upgrade that cpu, if youre dropping the cash on that card dont let it get held back.

You realize that at its core the 4300 and the 6300 have the same performance right? Only difference is the core clock and the number of modules that are active. The same goes for the 6300 and the 8320/8350.

[nerdsmadeearth]

Im on a budget what cpu and motherboard do you recommend?

[nerdsmadeearth]

I haven't bought it yet. Im still in the process of buying the parts. What mobo do you have?

[nerdsmadeearth]

Would a i3 4360 and a h81m motherboard bottle neck it?

What's your full budget? Rendering/streaming/etc are all heavily CPU intensive tasks. We can't recommend parts without a budget because the goal is for the parts to all have similar limits for the task. One part in a vacuum is not the answer.

Streaming (Shadowplay) and Rendering (Cuda) can be done with the GPU abilities.

The i3 + 970 would be the way I'd personally go.

Then upgrade to the i5 when possible at a later date.

number of modules that are active

yeah. that's the point.... 2 more cores on the 6300 makes a difference and as far as I know, there is no way to unlock the disabled cores on the 4300.

It doesn't make a difference if the game the person is playing only uses two cores(or one core module). Having the extra cores is irrelevant if they aren't being used.

that's true, good point. Some of the newer games do seem to benefit from more than 2 cores though, Watch Dogs for example stresses all four cores on my 4670k equally. Nevertheless, given that the single core performance is pretty much identical throughout the entire FX-line, it shouldn't make a big difference if you have an 8350 or 4300, I guess OP would have to go intel then.

I really have no budget its more of the cheaper the faster I get it
