Bottleneck orrrr?

[MineNightOwl]

Im thinking about getting a Titan X (Maxwell) around december, febuary ish. How much would an FX 6300 (OC'd around 4.2) bottleneck a titan. Before anyone suggests getting a 10 series or a different 9 series card, dont. I already have my eyes set on the titan.

From 0 to infinity depending on what you do with it.

Probably no CPU bottleneck since these games are not that new. A 780ti is much better value than a Titan though..... unless you want to show off as well.

I also don't think 3 gb of vram is that great for me. mainly why I didnt go for it, or a 980. 

Also yes, i'm aware a 980 has 4.

not picking a 780ti because of VRAM makes sense, but not a 980. 980's graphics power is so much higher that makes it better despite facing vram limit from time to time.

i mean for the future id rather have an older high end card then just a middle/top of the line card.

And if i overclock it and throw a water cooler on it ill be good for 2-3 more years

1080p should be quite easy for your GPU, but 60FPS are feasible to your CPU. It will depend on the game, though: GTA 5 may dip below 60 judging by tests of FX CPUs using that game.

Bottom line: in most cases, getting 60FPS will be up to whether your CPU can keep up with the game needs. The GPU should allow you to use the highest settings at 1080p without becoming the limiting factor, I think.

That's more or less what i was thinking. Although, In GTA 5 with a 1050 +500 MHz oc on ram and core i get around 40 fps on high, So i'm 99% sure its the GPU limiting me.
