Need to know the diffrence

[GrimReapez]

I currently have a amd fx 8350 cpu , and a AMD R9 390 Gb Gpu , there are some games that i enjoy playing with no problem but some games arent optimized very well for amd , so i decided to get a

new cpu , i currently have a offer on a Intel Core i5 3570k, and i was wondering if this new cpu would help with the frames and if it will bottleneck my GPU , i could really use some advice on it

P.S - What motherboard is good for this cpu and gaming?

[EarthboundHero]

It will be much better than an 8350. What's the offer?

i have the i5 3570K great cpu currently OC'ed to 4.5ghz with H100 i don't know what will be the performance gain over that cpu but i know single core performance will be better also overall core performance will be better=more fps

PS. that cpu can handle that gpu easely mine is currently running with a gtx 970 with ease

hello,

i have 2 of the games you have

BF 4 i5 3570K&gtx970 - ULTRA 4x msaa 80 fps

GTA 5 3570K&gtx970 - ULTRA 2x msaa 60-70~ fps

[GrimReapez]

I also got another offer from someone else , just didnt know if i wanted to pay 250$ , im probably stupid but he said to me , selling a fully functional motherboard and CPU combo with 16 GB DDR3 RAM, and I'll throw in a hyper 212 evo air cooler. The CPU is a three month old Intel i5 4590, never over clocked and the motherboard is an ASUS B85m-G.

you could probably also do that but i don't know about that cpu, also getting those part types is alot harder now because they are not sold anymore in my country so make the right choice.

I had similar issues with 8350 bottlenecking my 770 around 3 months ago. I started looking into upgrading the CPU and ended buying a new PC altogether.... I would have to drop around $400 too upgrade the MOBO, the CPU (granted, I was looking at i7 6700k) and ram. 

 

4 days before I received new PC I overclocked my 8350 to 3.9 GHz - the bottleneck stopped, BF 4 and GTA 5 ran smooth as butter at stable 60 FPS. Idle temp at 40 degrees, not going above 65 when gaming - I changed BIOS to shut down the PC as soon as it reaches 75 degrees - never happened. Sold the old PC off to my pal, who has no issues whatsoever with the PC. 3.9 seems to be a stable overclock, initially I received it with 4.4 GHz overclock (ordered from overclockers.co.uk, so.... yeah), which was unstable as hell. Bottom line - you need to OC 8350 to get your money's worth.

 

Before you start upgrading, consider buying a better cooler and OCing your CPU

Really? are you playing at 1080p?

 

check your temps, maybe your CPU is throttling, or maybe you can OC it a bit and alleviate the bottleneck

 

there are plenty of videos and benchmarks showing that it should run fine in those games

Dunno if its really worth spending money on

It will help minimum FPS the most
