Does my Cpu bottleneck my GPU

[rpalmz46]

I have a AMD a-10 6700 3.7Ghz processor and my Gpu is a R9 270x and I also have 12gb of ram windows 7 I was wondering if my cpu is causing my graphics card to not be maybe running my games at there full potential.

No. Its ok

[NeatSquidYT]

Should be ok, but I'd upgrade asap to Intel or AM3+

[tedjani]

nope you cool man

[MattWakey]

Not masively

[Sharif]

Its fine =) 

[Clyne]

AM3+

That's not a good idea because AM3+ is a dead socket......

[shirokado]

yes, its bottlenecking, but it's not enough to justify an upgrade

[shorinman]

It all boils down to "in what game" we are talking about.

 

Some games, yes, some games, no, most games, probably not, unless they're poorly optimised in which case a 4960X would even bottleneck a 750 Ti.

Thanks for replies guys sometimes it just seems like it does because I'll be playing battlefield 4 at high 20-30 fps and I will put it too low and it doesn't change my fps what could be causing this ?

Check your GPU loads during gaming. If it isn't consistent 99% load then something in your system is holding it back. (Bottleneck). Most cases the CPU.

wait what. that can't be right. is there something running in the background? that gpu should max it out at 50-70 fps.

Basic programs like launchers for other games I never run more then 1 game at once and sometimes skype not often when playing battlefield 4 I would really like to figure out what is causing this because I bought this GPU hoping it would vastly improve my fps in games from my radeon hd 8670d intergrated graphics.

i checked and It varys a lot while playing battlefield 4 it went down to 55% and it will go to 90% is the highest most often number that appears is 70% what is going on ??!

Please help guys

then yes that suggests you have a cpu bottleneck.
