AMD FX 6100 Bottlenecking?

[Angelz&Airwavez]

Hey guys, I am currently running a single Radeon 7950, and a amd fx 6100 @ 4.7ghz. My plan is to add a 2nd 7950 to my build. Will it bottleneck 2 7950's in games like BF4 and GTA V. Thanks!

[Chasem121]

Yes, it will.

It is already bottlenecking your single 7950.

[Zayzo]

yes

[dragoon20005]

yes it does and really bad

 

and the FX x100 are way older than the FX x300

 

what board you got?

[alexhelvetica]

I would say yes!

BTW the R9 280's tend to be cheaper and it is the same card but newer.

I have a gigabyte GA-970A-D3

[dragoon20005]

oh that is a bad board

 

 

no point upgrading the CPU and board

 

just get the Intel Platform

 

seriously

 

assign the budget for the 2nd R9 280/HD7950 for an Intel i3 + H97 board

Yes it will bottleneck. Indefinitely. However if you DX12 is correct and with real benchmarks it might improve since games will start using more cores. But that is a speculation.

Not worth it IMO. i3 is undoubtedly better than the FX-6100 but it's not ENOUGH so to warrant upgrading from the 6100 and having to buy a new CPU and board. I'd say save up until he can get an i5-4460 + good H97 or Z97 board.
