Posted April 6, 2017 Hello i want to know how much ( not IF ) my cpu will bottleneck , i want to upgrade to a high end card , even though i know i dont really have the cpu for it. my cpu is a amd fx 8350 AM3 Socket with 32gb of DDR3 ram. ( i am planning to upgrade these but these things wont be upgraded soon ) i've checked a site to see what things would bottleneck my cpu. and so far it has said 1080 (13% bottleneck) and a titan x ( 15% bottleneck ) it wasn't able to check for 1080ti and titan xp which was a bummer. 15% was still in the green area though so you'd still get "most" out of it but not its full potential. which i can deal with i can always upgrade my stuff later. but for now i'd have to live with a high-end gpu and a mid-end cpu. how much would it bottleneck my cpu? i should still be in the green area if its under 20% bottleneck , and what would you recommend me getting out of the high end cards. in depth answers would be greatly appreciated. i am clearly not the best at this computer stuff but i really love it.

Each game utilize cpu differently so there is no simple answer to your question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it depends on the game. Also that website you mentioned said the i7-4930K "will work great together" I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 7, 2017 You're gonna have like a 13% bottleneck. The geek himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 7, 2017 Split the money for at least a i5 7600k and a gtx 1070 instead. The geek himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 7, 2017 What is your current GPU...Also If you will upgrade later(however long later implies) and have the money to get a 1080ti...then get the 1080ti and upgrade cpu etc...later. I would not stress too much about it. Unless you are going to wait years to upgrade your cpu platform CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x cooled by Pure Rock Slim // RAM: Gskill Flare X 3200mhz CL14 2x16 32GB// GPU: Powercolor Red Devil RX 6650 XT 8GB// Motherboard: ASRock B450m Pro 4 // PSU: Seasonic G550 Gold 80+ // Storage: 4TB pcie nvme game drive, 512 GB m.2 sata3 OS Drive, 4 TB WD Red HDD // Monitor: Samsung S22D300 21.5" 1080p 60Hz, MSI 27" 1080p 144hz Freesync 1ms display // Peripherals: Logitech fancy shmancy keyboard and moise with rgb and gaminess stuff, very fancy | Kingston HyperX Cloud Core headset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are going to wait years to upgrade your cpu platform I am indeed planning to upgrade the cpu and motherboard+ram in like a year or less. my current GPU is a geforce 960 (2gb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
