I have heard that the FX series are pretty awful. I'm not to tight for a budget, I can sell my mobo and cpu I have a reasonably large influx of money coming soon. What Intel processor is good? (less than £200 please)

Not on budget should've gone with Intel at the beginning...If you're not overclocking,just for gaming,grab i5 4690K/i5 4690/i5 4590/i5 4460(Price Hight to Low),and motherboard,you can check out Linus's Channel's 3 Parts; Bang for the Buck Z97 Motherboard Showdown Part 1,Part 2,Part 3 watch the video and choose for yourself,though I'd recommend ASUS Z97-C

You guessed it.

Low load even on ultra, running at 1080p getting fps from 30-50

Specs:

CPU: 7850k

GPU: Gigabyte Windforce 3 970

RAM: 8gb @ 1600mhz

PSU: 600w evga

That's your CPU... An APU is far too weak for any high-ish end cards.... If you want better FPS, you'll have to upgrade your CPU and Mobo....

That bloody bottleneck from the CPU. This is why you go on forums to ask people about bottlenecks before you get a PC, upgrade your CPU AFAP to an i3 and a cheap H81/H97 motherboard (depending on the CPU's architecture).

Your CPU is MUCH too weak to even come close to supporting a 970. You need to upgrade

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

New cpu m8

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

The CPU is a gigantic bottleneck... That 970 is probably crying for a better CPU.

Really? b..b..but :C

I spent £124 on that CPU

4 cores @ 4ghz? Is that not enough?

If not could you recommend a better one?

 

Also~ this forum is awesome, You all answered so quickly!

you could try to OC the APU speed and see if the fps will improve

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Well, my cpu is water cooled so I could try that, but I don't really want to kill it :c

at stock voltage you should be able to bump it up to 4.1GHz

 

Disable Turbo Boost, Enable Cool & Quiet mode

 

Disable C6 state and enable Advance Power Management

 

clock the System Bus speed to 2GHz

 

and play with the multiplier

 

bump it up to 1.4+ volts if you want to hit the 4.3-4.5GHz mark

CPU Architecture Shootout: 16 CPUs, One Core Each, And 3 GHz

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/processor-architecture-benchmark,2974.html

 

Date - 2011, so Sandy Bridge is used, as well as AMD's prior to FX series type CPU's, (which I'm pretty sure can even be faster than FX in some cases or barely behind)

 

 

Analizing FX - http://www.extremetech.com/computing/100583-analyzing-bulldozers-scaling-single-thread-performance

 

@Faceman has the collaborated info from different users/sources and put it into a thread WORTH READING.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

So what do I look for in a CPU to support my 970?

cores?

Ghz?

Other things?

No,You don't need to do that,but you do need to look carefully about the product,what it's made for.

 

If your budget is tight,go with amd is definitely your best choice,but not APU,APU is sort of made for HTPC.

 

If you can,sell your current CPU and Motherboard,and take that money(You maybe need to pay a few bucks more) to go buy a AMD FX series CPU(At least FX 8320 or higher),and a AM3+ Motherboard 990 Chipset,970 chipset is a bit old,but msi has a gaming board,if you like its feature.

I have heard that the FX series are pretty awful. I'm not to tight for a budget, I can sell my mobo and cpu I have a reasonably large influx of money coming soon. What Intel processor is good? (less than £200 please)
