Processor throttling graphics car?

Go to solution Solved by X1XNobleX1X,

I like to post on forums. On one gaming forum, a member was posting about his new build. He was getting a GTX 980 and was debating between an I7 or the 8350. I helped out but someone said that the 8350 would throttle the 980. I'd that a thing?

I think the term you're looking for is  "Bottleneck" and no a 8350 will not bottleneck a 980.

8350 will be fine with a 980. Hell, it would be fine with dual 980's.

It's all the rage now! If your car start running slow, get a better HSF for your CPU. Or even better, water cooling.
