Athon + r9 280x

[EntAsia]

Could me possibly get 100+ fps on CS:GO, and TF2 with a 4.5 Ghz 860K w/ 280/x?

@1080p

[JeffreyEagan]

Good luck.

[EarthboundHero]

Yea, that'll be fine.

[SoftenButterCream]

You could 100+ Max. Average should be about 80 FPS. While Mins around the 50 margin

Those games will run on a potato, trust me. It will be perfectly fine, even for other games, the 860K won't be too much of a bottleneck.

...i get that with my Core 2 quad and GTX 560...

[SoftenButterCream]

Yea, that'll be fine.

I don't think it's powerful enough to get above 100 average from what I see from a APU. Most likely due to the iGPU

Based upon your post count, I'd assume you're new here. Welcome!

 

To the question, the answer is yes. CS:GO and TF2 are not very demanding games, to the point where many people play them fine on integrated graphics. The CPU will bottleneck the GPU slightly in some games, but not noticeably for the most part.

 

Why 100FPS though? If you're running a 60Hz monitor, use VSync and don't try to get higher framerates, as this results in tearing (which really does not look good at all.)

He's asking about an APU-like CPU with an R9 280X. He will be fine. To the point, I don't even understand the context of your comment, as you know anyways that it will work.

For those games, I would recommend a G3258 over the 860k because of the higher single threaded performance.

[soaringchicken]

Easily

You can cap it at 60 FPS

It was suppose to a question, but I have seem to answered it myself haha.

I know you can cap it, which is why I recommended the use of VSync. And lol, we all have those moments

Do you own either the Athlon 860k or R9 280X yet?

thank you. wat do you think average wuld be? also what is vsync?

yes

yes 

VSync is when the maximum framerate that the game will run at is set equal to the refresh rate of your monitor. So if you have a 60Hz monitor and Vsync is on, then FPS will not exceed 60FPS.

 

Since you already have the Athlon and 280X just go enjoy gaming already, pointless to spend all the effort it'd take for a few more FPS.

I dont think people would complain about FPS if they just turn it off lol

Yeah true, but you do notice the frame rate dips below 60Hz in CSGO and TF2 tho

[Opcode]

yes 

Which do you own? Or do you already own both? If you already own both then I wouldn't worry about buying anything new as them games are based on Steam's source engine which means they aren't that demanding.
