380+8320

[robin.vorde]

Will a 380 msi oc edition bottleneck my 8320 4 ghz

8 gigs of hyperx ram 1600 mhz

[JebKerman]

if anything it would be the other way around, but I don't think it will.

[minibois]

The CPU might slightly bottleneck the GPU. (in some games it will bottleneck quite a bit and in some games it will bottleneck less).

[Picky Peep]

Not to a significant degree.

[Guest]

Depends on the game you're playing

Most games will force a bottleneck

Others won't need as much power so less of a bottleneck will occur

[i_build_nanosuits]

it's a good match, mid-range hardware.

[FuzzyYellow]

not really, no.

[PineappleHolidays]

No it should be fine

[pascil]

I think it would be fine. Would be strange if the "latest" AMD CPUs bottleneck the latest AMD GPUs.

ohh trust me they do...anything above the R9 290 proves to be too much to handle even for the FX-9590...i used to have the FX-8320 clocked to 4.6ghz and in many games it just fall flat and can't properly feed even my GTX780 at 1080p gaming...therefore any of these old school processors are not up to the task of feeding an R9 390/390X in many games (not all games) let alone a Fury or a Fury X...absolutely no doubt about that...same goes for GTX970/980/980ti or even GTX780/780ti are too strong GPU's to the point you feel let down by the FX processor in quite a few titles out there...to the point i felt i had to perform an early CPU/platform upgrade only a few monts after getting the old FX.

But, an R9 380/280/285/HD7950 is a good match for those CPU's as you usualy run out of single core performance at around the same time you run out of graphics output performance on nvidia size i would say GTX960/760/670 are fine with them.

What happened to AMD? 10 years ago they were better than Intel. And now the only reason i bought a FX-6300 is because it was cheaper than an Intel CPU and MoBo.

they went the wrong way...trying to increase ''core'' count...grouping them in weak modules...with very long pipelines so they can increase clockspeed and have impressive numbers for the customers to look at and be confused...all that to the detriment of not having ANY IPC increases and even in fact going backward on that regard as it's been proved that PhenomII processors have better IPC than piledriver. If you take a phenom II X6 at 3.5ghz and compair this with your FX-6300 at 3.5ghz, believe it or not the phenom will be the faster part...now of course piledriver overclock better and the chances of running above 4ghz on them is much higher than it is with the phenom...but still...this architecture is really long in the tooth and was in fact developped with server use applications in mind...having nothing better for enthusiast they went for it and launched the bulldozer based FX-8150 back in 2011-2012 and this was a real fiasco as it couldnt compete with intel's processors of the time...they then refined it a bit and gave it a 10% boost with piledriver but it was still way slower than the sandy-bridge i5 or i7 of the time...and now intel released ivy bridge, haswell, broadwell and now skylake since then...that's how old they are...so thinking of running a top end hawaii chip or a Fury card on these dinausors is ludicrous.
