fx 8350 and 390

will an amd fx 8350 bottleneck with an r9 390

Yes but it really depends on the game/resolution.

[Indus Monk]

Yep

[PineappleHolidays]

Yes,

But I would not bother changing the cpu yet

games like gta v civ beyond earth minecraft with like 300 mods, bf4 and titanfall

 

1080p

It depends on the game really. Some games are very CPU intensive, and those would be bottlenecked by an FX8350. Those that are mainly GPU bound wouldn't be.

Also, with the release of DX12 and games already starting to be designed for that, the performance of the FX-series will most likely improve in the future, as games should be able to better take advantage of multiple CPU cores. Sure, it'll probably still not be fully competitive with an i7, but it will most likely look a bit better than it does at the moment. So I would recommend that you don't worry about it for the moment. That combo should be able to play most games at 1080p or 1440p with decently high settings and smooth fps.

won't that bottleneck

No, it won't bottleneck.

In BF4 and GTA you will notice it a tiny bit but nothing to worry about.

[DarkBlade2117]

Yes the fx and GTX 980 will bottleneck. At 1080p the bottleneck will be slightly more noticeable then 1440p or 4k. The 390 will also bottleneck

[DarkBlade2117]

No, it won't bottleneck.

Lol toms hardware is almost as big of a joke as the PCPartPicker community

It's heavily watercooled and overclocked to over 4ghz. Only nnow will it match a i5.

I will definatley be overclocking the fx to over 4ghz so will that make a difference in bottlenecking

i will be going from an i7 4510u on a laptop with intel graphics so i think the performance boost will be quite significant

well if you are overclocking ,then its fine but a good motherboard for overclocking and a waterloop will not be a cheap affair and may cost the same as a i5 4440 with a b85 mobo that will outgun and out run any AMD CPU at any clock speed.

[Indus Monk]

May I know your final decision?

[MarkoP]

I have an MSI 390 nad an FX 6300 at 4.4 and it is maybe bottlenecking it a little, just by a few FPS, but if I get it to work at 4.6 it won't, but an 8350 at 4.2 GHz will do just fine

[Nena Trinity]

Some games yes and some games no, also in some games it can be terrible but others not at all so my answer is maybe.

 

I would say its safe to get it and if DX12 lives up to the hype then you can keep that FX even longer.
