8350 bottlenecking gtx 1080?

[spaceyeti]

i know my fx 8350 will bottleneck a gtx 1080. but how bad would the bottleneck be?

It will vary from game to game. And depend on what resolution you game at, as well as the in-game settings. If you can get the 8350 OC'ed to 4.5GHz+ it will help.
What card do you have now?

sorry for the late reply, i currently have a gtx 780 and i will mainly be playing in 1080p and 1440p. im probably going to go with a gtx 1070 and oc my cpu to 4.5

The GTX 1070 is faster than even the Titan X (Maxwell). So yeah, that too will struggle with the FX-8350. But not as bad. My FX-8350 @ 4.7GHz struggles with my GTX 980. Not so much CPU bottleneck, as just not fast enough IPC with the AMD chip.
