The AMD FX-8350

[Dovahblood]

The AMD FX-8350 was and may still be a good CPU but I don't know how well it would work with a GTX 1080TI or any other Graphics card of NVIDIAs' 10th series or the newer AMD cards, but the basic question in the sences is, would the FX-8350 (with max RAM) work with the 1080 TI? (side note the motherboard is the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 HDMI Motherboard)

The FX-8350 will "work" with a 1080Ti but it would bottleneck the card.

thank you for answering, would it be a large bottleneck or a small bottleneck? (sorry I only just started pc stuff and hardware).

pretty big. With a 1080ti about half the frame rate in some games.

 

The amd fx chips were never that great. They run hot, had okay archeture that was newer used well, not updated.

Ryzen

[Dovahblood]

any specific one?

[glitchmaster0001]

i wouldn't pair anything higher than a GTX 1060 with a AMD FX CPU since it has very low IPC compared to today's market offerings like Intel's 7th gen chips or AMD Ryzen lineup. If you have a current FX system, then I would recommend you either pair it with a lower tier GPU like a 1050ti or 1060, or alternatively you could sell the FX system and build a new system on either Ryzen or Kaby Lake.

How much do you want to pay? I mean, if you want a 1080Ti, you clearly have a lot to spend.

currently about £500

With that you could buy the R7 1800X and still have 80 left over (Yes, I did look at UK pricing)

Fx 8350 would bottleneck like crazy.

 

I would recommend a 6700k (you can pick em up for $300 sometimes)+$100 mobo+$100 16gb ram kit.

well thank you for the helpful comments
