AMD r9 NANO bottleneck

[Antonymus19]

Will an AMD R9 nano experience bottleneck if the cpu is a AMD Athlon x4 750k Quad Core Processor 3.40 GHz ? 

 

or will these two cooperate nice ?

Depends on what game.

[jimakos234]

it will most likely bottleneck(heavily)

you sure about that ? I wouldn't want to spend alot on a  new cpu of it would still run ...

newest titles probably, AC syndicate, tombraider 2015 ...

since the 750k is older than the 860k, that can hardly keep up with an i3 , i am pretty much sure.

Try getting an i5 and a 390 if you have the money for a nano

yes, no matter what.

 

That CPU wont be able to power a AMD R9 380X without bottlenecking. it is based on Piledriver, but it is clocked REALLY low..... even turbo wont help it.

GTA V likes CPU's alot I don't know if u play that atleast

i'd rather get a Skylake i3 + R9 390X....

 

i3 6100 is REALLY close to the 4460 in terms of performance.... but it has an ACTUAL upgrade path ahead of it....

thanks, it's not for me though  I have ai7 4790K and an r9 390 (as you also suggested)

In a CPU bound games you will be held back a lot. Which is most games these days. Get at least i5 4440 or 4460.

well the i5 has 4 real cores, when the i3 has 2. also if someone upgrades now, i hardly doubt that intel will keep the same socket for more than 2 years (as history shows us) to upgrade after 2-3years on the same socket

true, but getting a kaby lake i5 is more of an upgrade then a i7 4790k ever will be, even when overclocked...(by then, Kaby Lake should be 20% faster then Haswell if we go by Intels current "tick tock" pattern in terms of performance increases)

 

Also, we are talking 4 real cores, at lower clocks and lower IPC... the two things that REALLY murders performance...

Skylake has about 10-12% higher IPC... it really does matter.

It also features a few additional instruction sets, which also boosts performance.

if this is for a mini itx build which is why you need a Nano, get the itx 970 instead which is cheaper and takes up the same amount of space. Not to mention it's half the price so you can actually afford at least a 4690k + mobo

you got  a point, but we dont know if the op can upgrade every year his cpu. also the 4 strong core of the haswell refresh i5 will still have the advantage over the 2 stronger of the skylake i3 (4>2) , and this will be proven in cpu heavy tasks that will utilize more than 2 cores.

this would be ideal
