CPU bottle necking GPU

[GrumpyZade]

I"m gonna be buying a GTX 1060 in these next upcoming weeks, I want to know how bad it's gonna be bottle necked when I plug it in to my current pos pc. My CPU is a AMD A10-5700 APU with Radeon Graphics, 8gb of ram and I have a 750 watt power supply already cause my old one died... I really only play cs:go and a couple sim games that already play decent at high presets considering my specs. I was gonna buy a AMD 8350, but then I realized I should just get a zen CPU.

Wait for Zen. Simple as that.

 

As far as your current CPU is concerned, it will definitely bottleneck your 1060 quite noticeably. The bottlenecking could be fairly substantial if you play CPU-heavy sim games.

if you've got a discrete gpu,. then any onboard graphic should be disabled (please don't plug your monitor into the motherboard)

 

If you're using it for cs go, then bottlenecking isn't going to be a problem unless you're using a pentium... and even then.

 

Bottlenecking in broad terms is never going to be a good term, in certain applications that depend on the cpu running very dependant processes (like a mmo, or open world game) a lesser cpu can slow down the performance of the attached gpu. CS Go is not one of these instances.

Please wait for Zen.

 

And it's a bottleneck of course.

CS:GO should handle it fine.  More intensive AAA title will probably would see some bottlenecking but nothing too major.  It all depends on the games that are CPU bound vs GPU bound.

Everyone here says "wait for zen" which, if you want to go AMD, is a good choice. But, what if the people at AMD have decided; "OH! Let's implement a new socket and chipset!"

Ryzen is AM4. hope that helps

I know all about zen and it finally gonna be on a new socket, but at the end of the day it'll be better than getting a current gen AMD CPU and a hell of a lot more affordable than intel. I'm also not that much of a noob, I know not to plug my monitor into the motherboard lol. The sims that I mainly play are American Truck Simulator and CIV 5 plus some other random games that aren't intensive.  I guess I didn't word my question well enough, I wanted to really just know if I'll see a dip in performance since I don't even have a discrete GPU.
