Would this bottleneck?

[FinestRyeBread]

Would the fx 8350 bottleneck the gtx 660? They both are quite old

[Octavialicious]

Very little or not at all definitely not anything noticeable

[Unmintz]

Nope. You won't be working miracles with that CPU, but you're just trying to work games anyways... Right? :lol:

It's most likely more than suitable.

[ANewFace]

no

[Guest trucker2]

someone tested the 6300 and 8350 with a gtx 980 and in crysis 3 the 980 is bottlenecking the 8350

Nah the FX can handle way bigger GPUs than that!

Yeah its better to go for 290, 290X or a 970 max for a FX-83X0 and then it would be best to have that monster 9590 but ya know that is far from worth it!

depends on the games you play...

for example:

GTA V - Both CPU and GPU intensive game:

As such both CPU and GPU get utilized pretty well, upgrading GPU in this case would yield more FPS (currently at 40 FPS)

Need For Speed Underground 2 quite old game, is capped at 120 FPS:

Surprisingly CPU is utilized quite heavily, but the GPU is pretty much in power saver mode....

(Due to some wierd glich the game screen did not capture) game is running at it's limit 120 FPS, no upgrade is necessary

 

Wrath of the Lich King:

Very intensive CPU single core game, curently running at 53 FPS,

Core 1 is topped out at 100%, GPU is in power saving mode.

Upgrade to a stronger single core CPU is prefered or Single Core overclocking required

it's a good match, you could go to a GTX 960 if you'd want to or an R9 380...anything above that will get limited.

AMD says 280X is best match and since the 380 is about same its 100% right!

i wouldnt go any higher for 1080p gaming.

Both processors are bottlenecking the 980 quite a bit. Were we watching the same video? Because I saw constant dropped frames, intermittent stuttering, and GPU load drops down to the low 60% range throughout every game played, no exceptions.

You really need to stop the false information. It doesn't help anyone. Paired with a 660? Great combo! Where does the OP go from there? Because past a 280X both processors will begin bottlenecking every high end GPU on the market (the 6300 bottlenecks even a 280X in some games that require strong single-core performance).

[IateMApoo]

No chance of bottlenecking mostly, except in CPU bound games that need strong single core performance.

I always do 1080p gaming.
