in some games yes, in some games no... it also depend on the screen resolution and settings.

Well don't believe him the i5-4460 is able to keep up with the r9 390

theres so much headroom until you get to a bottleneck...

What does he suggest for a 390? 5960x?

 

EDIT: let him watch this:

Hey guys! I just build a new pc and one of my friends is saying my r9 390 is getting bottlenecked by my i5 4460 and 8 gigs of ram. I dont belive him. I just wanted proof. Thanks!

download afterburner and enable gpu and cpu usage

if cpu is at 100 percent and gpu is low in a well optimized game then your bottlenecking

check and report back

Im just playing csgo at 1080

hard to tell...you should get insanely high framerates anyways the question you should ask yourself is why did you bought an R9 390 GPU if all you do is play CSGO all day long.

 

Your ''bottleneck'' for CSgo is the refresh rate of your monitor anyways.

Shove down his throat that he doesn't know nothin', because there is no bottleneck.

It shouldn't bottleneck in any games other than CPU intensive games. But, the games I'm thinking of aren't GPU intensive at all.

Games like CS:GO, Arma III and the like will be "bottlenecked," but there's nothing wrong with that. Those games bottleneck everything.

 

Tell your friend he's dumb.

yep. my system exactly and I can assure you, that in Gta V, its a bottleneck

CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

then it probably is a bit, with CSGO being such a cakewalk for the GPU and the reliance on only 1 or 2 cores of the CPU. that said it should be minute and it's much more balanced.

I'm pretty sure the GPU will be the bottleneck in scenario, my 4690K sits at around 55% utilization, while my 970 is at 100%

Aftermarket 980Ti >= Fury X >= Reference 980Ti > Fury > 980 > 390X > 390 >= 970 > 380X > 380 >= 960 > 950 >= 370 > 750Ti = 360

He is talking about the CPU bottlenecking the GPU, not the CPU bottlenecking GTA V.

AKA a CPU bottleneck? like in GTA V for example?! :P

It's already bottlenecked...

If you say "CPU bottlenecking", it can mean the CPU is bottlenecking GTA V, a Graphics card, or anything else. The person who posted this question is asking about the CPU bottlenecking a GPU, not GTA V.

Depends on the game, in some games you need a i7 to get the most out of a 390.

^^this is the answer you were looking for OP.

 

if you think an overclocked core i7 CPU perform the same as a 3.2ghz core i5 in games you're wrong...

that's not to say that your cpu is not a good match for your GPU, it is in MOST games...if i were to build a budget gaming rig tomorrow it would most likely feature an i5-4460 or i5-6500 and a R9 390 or GTX 970.
