So I have an AMD A10-7700k cpu and wanted to buy a Asus GTX 960 Strix 4gb, my question is will it bottleneck??

[PlayStation 2]

Depends on the game.

[Kendrick Manalo]

i`ll mostly play GTA 5,DOTA 2 and CSGO

[AresKrieger]

GTA probably, that game has a lot of non graphic calculations, the others are fine since they are easy on cpus.

 

Honestly I'd update to a new platform if I were you.

Ok, thanks for the fast response

CSGO is unusually hard on the CPU, and for absolutely no reason.

Basically just like Team Fortress 2 except much more stable.

I run GTA with an Athlon x4 860k just fine, which is basically the 7870k without gpu cores, so upto you, if i were you I would pick up an old r9 for cheap rather than get something more expensive since the cpu isn't that great

for cs go it will works perfectly cuz I got a GTX 550 Ti and I play cs go high with min FPS 75

Really, I thought a toaster could run it, oh well well then add that to the list

Yeah. CSGO, while not as bad as TF2, does have its moments where it'll just hammer the CPU for no reason.

I can personally vouch for TF2 being completely horrible on the CPU, as in there's no reason I should be getting 50FPS on certain maps with an i7-2600 and an R9 390.

My personal rig, sure it has an FX-4100. But there's no fucking reason I should be able to hit a flat 20 on said certain maps.

I think the prb is not CPU for you its GPU I have i7-4770k and GTX 670 likely I burned out my GTX and I was playing with intel graphic 4600 and I was playing with 50 FPS but now I used my old GTX 550 Ti and it works perfectly min FPS 75 with high setting

My GPU's an HD 7850.

The R9 390 made no difference on my brother's i7, and it certainly is not getting hammered by TF2.

It ran basically the same with my brother's i7-2600.

well maybe its a driver problem !!!!!

GTA probably will a bit but the rest should be fine.

cuz sometimes with the GTX 670 I was suffering FPS drop and I found it was the driver problem

I live in the philippines where sadly 2nd hand computer parts are hard to come by and if there is, the price of the 2nd hand is just 10%-20% less than a brand new component

It isn't. I know it isn't because it performed the same at 1360x768 with no anti aliasing as it did at 1080p with 4x MSAA as it did at 3200x1800 with 4x MSAA.
