HELP

I'm just wondering whether my A10-7870K is bottlenecking by RX480 8GB NITRO+ as I don't seem to be getting great performance help!

What are the cpu usage in game

[bgibbz]

 Probably. I would upgrade when ryzen 5 drops. that being said it depends on the application, what game?

[Antman507]

any game in general I mean I can play something like batman Arkham knight at 30fps but surely if I upgraded my cpu it should be higher?

Yep. As i said, i would wait for ryzen 5 and upgrade to that. 

[Antman507]

yeah, probably a good idea

 batman Arkham knight is really pretty badly optimised on PC.

yup, not enough cpu to get the most out of the card. could be worse. you could have too much cpu and a really, really bad card. I think you're on the right side of it.

would I have to get a new motherboard due to chipset as I have an fm2+ socket motherboard

[Antman507]

never mind

[LabRat]

that's the caveat. new board, new cpu, new ram. sucks doesn't it?

[Antman507]

yeah..... well is crossfire worth it?

[Antman507]

just thought as I'm upgrading everything else

I depends. sometimes it near doubles frame, sometimes it's a total waste of money. I stopped running 2 cards years ago though.  would i crossfire on that cpu/apu, no.
