Does an FX-6100 bottleneck a 1080?

Does an FX-6100 bottleneck a 1080? Just wondering what you guys think?

Yes.

 

It will bottleneck even a GTX 1060.

 

A GTX 1080 is useless paired with an FX 6100.

I'd call it a useless upgrade. A GTX 1060 is bottlenecked by an FX-6100. Do you have any idea how bad the bottleneck would be for a GTX 1080? It's a waste of money - you wouldn't be able to get anywhere near the full potential out of that GPU.

not a useless upgrade if he plans on upgrading his cpu soon aswell

Yup. I am definatly planning on upgrading my system. The FX-6100 system is just temporary for me for now. 

 

I am only waiting for the 7800X to be released and for benchmarks to come out. Debating between a 7800X and 1700. 7700k is tempting but I do more than gaming (streaming and video editing). 

 

Although I did watch Bitwit's video about gaming and streaming between 1700 and the 7700k. The 7700k had higher FPS everytime when streaming.

The answer is it will bottleneck pretty much anything modern lol.  It's a crappy CPU.  When you upgrade, I would suggest saving money and going with an R7 1700.  It's still got more threads and cores than a 7800X.

Great!

So just enjoy the 1080 and know you won't be tapping on its full potential until you upgrade your CPU. I prefer the 7700k.

I would recommend the Ryzen 7 1700.

Any reasons suggesting your choice?

I would watch linus's recent video about the new intel lineup, also Ryzen is just a better deal in general

1. More cores and more threads then the 7800X for significantly cheaper.

2. Supports higher frequency memory.

3. Intel's new X299 platform is looking like a bit of a rushed disaster.

Yeah I agree with Linus. The new Intel line up is getting messy and bad choices were made. 

 

I just wonder if the 7800X will out perform the 1700? The 1700 costs $300 and the 7800X $390. Would the $90 difference be worth it. And those X299 motherboards, they look amazing but pricing will definitely be steep.

Well, ryzen has more cores and threads so anything productivity wise it will outperform the 7800x, but for gaming we dont really know anything yet, but I am guessing it will edge out the ryzen chips.

True, I am very curious to see the IPC of the 7800X. 

[Tellos]

Savere bottleneck I'd say.

If on a budget get a FX-8370 if you got cash then buy Ryzen 5!
