Does having an Intel CPU affect amd gpu?

[BlueMagma1]

So here's my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/j8xf3C i had this build and liked it a lot , then some guy told me not to get an amd gpu with intel cpu because it won't get ur gpus full performance, I've never heard of this and just wondering if it's true? He said getting an amd CPU and gpu would let your gpu get more performance same when using Nvidia and Intel

i doubt there is any truth to that.

 

i run a intel cpu and amd gpu and i have no issues

If it exists, the effect on the performance is minimal. I really don't think you should switch for another cpu for that

[Oshino Shinobu]

Not true. The Intel + Nvidia thing wouldn't make sense, either, as they're not the same company. I can understand the thinking with AMD + AMD, but Intel + Nvidia wouldn't make sense.

He's a fanboy that is spreading bullshit. Ignore him, OP.

As long as the CPU is fast enough not to hold up the GPU, it is all good. The chosen CPU certainly is not slow.

 

Fulgrim put it nicely

if anything the intel cpu will make things better, because amd's current line of cpu's are a bit on the old side...

Thanks guys , I knew he was talking bs  he wanted me to change to a 970 but I think the 390 is better with its higher vram and on some game gets better fps

Yes, the performance will most likely be better.

I use AMD with Nvidia and no problem so a reverse should be fine!

Actually Intel CPU + AMD GPU is a better situation because of AMD's high driver overhead and the fact that Intel's CPUs have higher single-thread performance.
