Bottlenecking

[woodsy]

i have a amd 6300 and i was looking to upgrade my zotac gtx 750 ti 2gb to gtx 970 FTW and i was woundering if i would experience any bottlenecking from my CPU to the 970?>???

yeah, quite a bit

the 970 would still be a performance increase over the 750ti

it's still worth getting the GPU, depending on the games you play and your screen resolution your CPU will be your limiting factor in some games but you will definitely get a huge boost in performance and you can very well consider a CPU upgrade down the road...your PSU can handle such a card?

How about starting to save up for a better CPU? You can start with an i5 + H81 mobo for pretty cheap and pair it with a 960 or 380 or other lower tier GPUs?

 

The 6300 will probably bottleneck the 970 in many games.

little bit..fx6300 not bottleneck the 970 that much..

in some games it will...but the truth is games are mostly GPU bound these days unless you game at sub 1080p resolution, and the newer titles mostly have great multi-thread support so the FX-6300 aint that bad...it's not great either but i would still just buy a powerful graphics card and consider a CPU upgrade at a lather date if he find he does not get the performance he was looking for in the games he play the most...

cause if he play witcher 3, battlefront, crysis...shit like that he will have the GPU pinned anyways...but if he play planetside, dayZ, dying light, mmo's RTS or MOBA for example THEN he will want a new CPU...FAST
