Hello yet again forum  :) its lil ol' me again :P. Ive recently noticed how much of a bottleneck my Fx-8350 is on my 980ti and I need a cpu for around the same price range maybe a bit more. although dont go overboard im mainly looking for a DDR3 intel cpu preferably an I7 although an I5 would be satisfactory as well the issue is pretty bad my performance is half of what it should be I dont need anything overkill i just need something that is decently snappy has decent OC headroom as well as not bottleneck the 980ti substantially a few fps arent an issue.

 

Thanks in advance ~LazyChaz

i5 will bottleneck for 100%! Don't get it.

He's buying one of the top notch video card & you're suggesting him i5... Srsly?!

Get i7. I'd even suggest 6 core i7 to be sure it's not bottlnecked.

I just posted a similar topic here: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/510886-upgrading-gpu-will-mobo-andor-cpu-need-upgrade/

Nobody so far seemed to think that there would be any bottlenecking issue. Do you have any evidence of bottlenecking or are you not getting the performance you are expecting on your system?

yes one of my freinds has a 980 ti SuperClocked+ we both decided to play GTA 5 maxed out within reason his framerate was twice what mine is. also i did comparisons based on reviews benchmarks and such.
