Bottleneck?!

[kimura1243]

Hello! Sorry if it isn't the right place to ask.  

So my question is: will FX-8350 bottleneck r9 290?

I wont overclock the CPU more than 4.2GHz probably, and i don't plan to overclock video card(or if i do it wont be any time soon) .

 

Thank you!

Should be fine, if you do feel that there's a bottleneck. It's probably just the game that's poorly optimized for multi-core cpu's.

So in good programmed games no problem! go 4 it.

It will Sometimes.

So its all up to the games and optimization for multi-core cpu's ?

It will Sometimes.

since when does a FX-8350 bottleneck a 290?

It shouldn't maybe in games that aren't very well optimized for multi-core CPU's.

It bottlenecks anything over a 280x/770 in some games.

I say it would even bottleneck in some intensive optimized games.

I'm sorry but you are wrong in saying that, check out this video by Jayztwocents, I can't link it since I'm on an iPad but I can give you the name of the video. It's called "Jayz went Intel"

rofl, I refuse to believe in you

8350 has a lower minimum fps on lower end cards. and because of that when you move up to a 290 it slows the card down.

Thank you! Which video card you suggest me to use instead? Or is it better to change CPU?
