Proof that AMD FX CPUs do not bottleneck high end GPUs

Yes. Overclocked to 4,7ghz it almost matches the performance of an i5.

No, it doesn't. At 5.3Ghz it does. And even then it still falls short of an i5 4440.

Yea you need to almost double the clock speed for it to be on the same level.

Now try running GTA IV on that system, which is exceptionally CPU bound and check your FPS again...

Why is this thread still a thing? It's already been debunked and disproven a dozen times over.

For the sake of prospective builders with little experience believing this BS, let mine be the last post on this thread so it will no longer be bumped into the recent pool.

This has to be the funniest thread to read.
