Does my GPU Bottleneck my CPU

[Aytex]

Yes, you have a High end processor and a medium end graphics card. I would recommend a GTX 770, GTX 970 or a GTX 980

i aint buying another gpu jeez

[SkilledRebuilds]

do u think i will get at leaste 60 fps stable on low everything games

Not everything. And you could buy another GPU and get the most benefit from more performance...

/It's not unfeasible to save some money, when 1/3 away from your goal, put your current GPU up for sale, and then put those together for a new one.. or save upi slower than usual, bit by bit, i na year you'd be surprised how much you have.

 

My 260x OC @ 1150Mhz/1400Mhz

World of Tanks, Medium quality settings with HighQ textures @ 1080p = 60fps Vsync locked (a constant 60fps, no drops)

In BF:Hardline, I ran 1080p, on Low, with Textures on Ultra, and was getting 45-60fps

BF4 it's a little bit better and you can use medium with Ultra textures (goal was 50fps+ and it did it fine)

(With BF games, some maps are better in perf than others)

 

Many games it will be trial and error, run it, set to LOW with high texture quality.. see how it goes.

 

 

/Notice that Texture quality doesn't hinder much performance at all compared to other settings, and makes the game a WHOLE lot nicer, use High or Ultra Textures when available and lower all other things, get your baseline performance, if its over 60fps, enable more details, if its under 60fps, either lower resolution or deal with it.

will my i7 4790k bottleneck my r7 260x

your CPU is a 2015 Ferrari 458 Spider and your GPU is a 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon if that's what you want to know.

then the answer is yes your gpu does bottleneck  your cpu, but in no way could your cpu bottleneck your gpu.

well my athalon ran bf4 low everything at stable 40-50 fps. since the i7 4790k is way more powerful would it preform better when theres alot of explosions that would lower fps on the athalon but not on the 4790k?

why, Its my specs

Why do you have an i7 and an absolutely terrible GPU..?

[Aytex]

Why do you have an i7 and an absolutely terrible GPU..?

beacuse i can. beacuse im poor. because i do video editing and i do lots of gaming

[AlwaysFSX]

:mellow: Yeah I get not having money to buy the best of the best but seriously that's so lopsided you would've gotten better performance with an i5 and a better card for the same money.

ive done my homework and im not a noob to pc building. i knew what i was doing. an i5 dosent help as much as a 4790k when it comes to editing and rendering

he did say he doesn alot of rendering so the i7 is a better choice imo

[brandishwar]

Massively. It is near impossible for a 4790k to bottleneck any current GPU config tho.

 

Really? You can't think of any GPU configuration that could be held back by any a 4790k or even a 5960X? I can think of one off the top of my head. There's absolutely no reason to run it -- none that I can conceive of, that is -- but it'll still be held back by a 4790k.

Those extra four threads doooon't actually do that much more.

Wouldn't worry too much about the naysayers here..

Jealousy.

They may have a better GPU but WANT a better CPU, see yours and be like.. eww dat GPU.. but no matter, for what YOUR DOING,.. its perfect for your needs.

Just be mindful that... IT IS..WHAT IT IS... the GPU is no powerhouse, it will play titles at 1080p, but not at High settings AT ALL.

Just keep them on Low, with High-Ultra Textures and you'll be surely fine for most titles, and can use higher details at your own leasuire if you want.

 

Upgrade later on to a better GPU knowing your CPU is never going to be an issue for the longterm future.

will my i7 4790k bottleneck my r7 260x

You have 2,000+ mother fucken posts.... Wouldn't you know a fuck about this?

i did, I wanted to make sure that it was bottlenecked. I tripple check everything

most helpful here thanks

that's beyond triple checking.... With that many posts you should know that a 4790k will not bottleneck, unless you're rolling with 3 way sli.

why cant you accept the fact that I want to tripple check. Posts dont mean shit. Jesus

then whats the point of the i7 then ? if your being a troll plz gtfo

Higher profit margins.

 

There's not too many workloads that benefit from both higher clock speed and higher thread counts. (And those that are you're going to want X99 anyway for extra cores)  An i5 or a Xeon are both a lot cheaper and more specialized to the kind of workloads people will use them for.

Having extra threads doesn't act the same as cores do for rendering, it's slightly faster for rendering having an extra thread dedicated to a core but it's not something to spend an extra $100 over.

lets say i bought the 4690k what gpu costs 80 bucks

[SkilledRebuilds]

lets say i bought the 4690k what gpu costs 80 bucks

With the extra $80 you could buy the NZXT HUE, Add that $80 on top of an existing GPU budget, up the capacity of an SSD chosen,.. many things...

[AlwaysFSX]

That's not how math works..

 

4690k + $80 =/= a 4790k + a GPU

 

If you buy a 4690k you have almost $200 for a GPU budget which can get something very nice.

something that effects preformance not storage use nor asthestics
