Bottlenecking and classification

[Soulsie]

Hey! 

 

I just wanted to ask if any of you could find any bottle neck, and how you would classify my pc (Meaning average, high end, low end etc.)

 

Specs:

 

GPU: 970 overclocked to 1500 Mhz. Idle temp is 31C, heavy load temp is about 70C. 

 

CPU: AMD 8350 Eight cored 4.00ghz. Idle temp is 16C, Heavy load is sbout 70C

 

CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster 212

 

RAM: 2400Mhz HyperX

 

SSD: some Samsung 60 gb ( My OS is installe on this one)

 

HDD: some Samsung 500 gb

 

OS: Windows 10 64bit.

 

Need any other info? ask

  :rolleyes:

Your CPU

[Zayzo]

8350 is the bottleneck, how much ram do you have?

Average?

[OAcesync]

CPU bottleneck easy and you're pc would be on the higher end but the CPU kind of holds it back

[Samppa221]

AMD CPU

[Raudi_]

That was easy to find...swap that snail of a Single threaded CPU out for an i5 and enjoy some better performance.

[kameshss]

The CPU is the bottleneck dude.

[Castdeath97]

Your CPU will, but not that much the 8350 isn't that bad but the i5 beats it.

[Techicolors]

CPU bottleneck, though it isn't a drastic one. if you want max performance though change it for an i5 for better

Well, 'max performance' can make the difference between 45 and 60 fps, which in some games is a big deal.

[Manny Calavera]

Dont worry about it tho. DX12 might solve single thread draw call issue. We will see.

 

I wouldnt go out and spend monies yet.

 

Do you notice any bad frames in particular games?

8 gigs

AW SHIT Really? Goddamn.. How much of a bottleneck is it? I bought it like 3 months ago thinking it would improve my pc. My motherboard is a 990fxa ud3, would CPU you would guys recommend thats compatible?

[OAcesync]

8 gigs

That's the problem with AM3+ because you aren't really gonna get anything better than what you already have unless you start overclocking and even then it's still a bottleneck.

All of the amd cpu's are pretty much the same so bad news. Get to intel.

I mean, what games are you playing? I'd go for a skylake i5.

No, not very much. However in games likes skyrim i do notice that the frames are a little bad (However that may be because i have an ENB aswell as a 2K texture mod) Since its not very good at handling multible cores, and the fact that the cores in cpu arent like super effective

[AManWithPlan]

You have 16C idle temps on an air cooler? How freezing is your room???

[Soulsie]

I will. I've pretty much stopped using every other AMD product, because they dont really hold up to the competitors in price to performance to effectivity. 

 

THIS IS IT. i've had it with amd

It's like 17 - 20 degrees.

 

I really like my room chill  lol

yeah skyrim is pretty CPU-bound, especially when you add mods.

AMD still has their Zen lineup coming sometime next year.

I currently like taking pretty screenshots in skyrim. I have an ENB and 2k texture mod. So i processor that communicates bets with my grapics card would be great

Then yes, i'd upgrade when you can.

Well in games you will at least get 30fps+, so its alright, some games that are well threaded (battlefield for example) will favor 8350 at stock over any i3 or i5 Ivy bridge or older. So that proc you bought is powerful, just games might not use it properly yet.

 

For skyrim with 8 core there is easy fix where you get 20% more performance. I want you to go to bios and look if you can find anything you would disable one ALU cluster per module.

So you basicly get 4 cores, but they are much more powerful. We are talking serious power here.

This first result is 8350 with ALU clusters disabled, so "True quad core"

Hmm, that doesn't seem right. I can max out most games in 1080p and still get a buttery smooth 60fps.

If you happy with performance in games you play then no prob. There might be some games it will struggle, just what i want to say.
