(vintage pc) Bottleneck?

[Legenderys]

Will the r7 250X get bottlenecked with an Athlon 64 x2 5200+ ? (Pc for games, not the newest of course)

[NationsAnarchy]

It will bottleneck, I'm pretty sure  :wacko:

[Kevinkt]

Yes, I used to have a Athlon clocked at 2.9ghz and it bottlenecked a 6670.... very very very badly. and a 250x is more power than a 6670. I triple my fps in most games going to a pentium..... a pentium.. with my 6670

any proves ?

any proves ?

 

Just look at the years from both the CPU and GPU, no need for proves dude

In CS:GO It seriously triple my fps. upgrading my cpu. My old cpu would only use 50%ish of my gpu power in most game.  like BF3. World of Warcraft, skyrim. far cry two, and few other games

That should be cool enough lol. 

Maybe you can get something a bit cheaper ?

It's stuff from my old pc and the gpu is whe gpu i had before i upgrade

Oh well

[Legenderys]

Oh well

i guess it is better to give him the r7 250x i have instead the gt210 it had...

Indeed, that GT 210 isn't gonna do anything

[Legenderys]

i know bro....

better to get bottlenecked istead of getting rekt....

It will, but hey, at least it will run very cool n quiet! I mean a bottleneck isn't such a bad thing, he can maybe upgrade later on and keep the GPU in the new system.

r7 250x in a new system?

r7 250x in a new system?

Depends on the res, someone might be playing at 720p or 900p, it's more than enough for 720p. And a new system can be an AMD Athlon x4, they are more than decent. A new system doesn't mean that he has to go high end, not everyone has the budget or pushes their money towards other things.

it depends on what game are you playing and resolution that you use. just see CPU and GPU usage while you're gaming. if your CPU reaches 100% and your GPU usage below that ( 60-80%), your CPU bottleneck your GPU. but result may very on every game (CPU Bonding or GPU bonding)
