AMD 8350 bottlenecks?

[johntc121]

I am just wondering if the AMD 8350 at 4.0ghz, no overclocking will bottleneck any mid range gpus? I plan on using either a Sapphire R9 270x Vapor X or a EVGA Gtx 760. Possibly might upgrade to a 770.

That CPU will not even bottleneck a GTX Titan, do a bit more research, the term bottleneck is misused a lot of times and I believe this is a clear case of that . Hope I helped anyway!

It will not bottleneck your GPUs

If you look after your PC - keep it clean and free of viruses, then you won't have any sort of problem. Especially with a FX8350 slowing down a R9 270X.

FX 8350 could handle 3 way GTX 760's without bottleneck so pretty much any config will be fine.

Thanks guys. Do you guys think this gpu/cpu budget combo? I plan to game in 1080p and 30-60 fps and stream in 720p in 30/60 fps. Would this work? Or can someone reccommened a similar priced cpu that will work well with gaming and streaming.

I was checking out the i7 4770k/4790k but it is a bit out of my price range.

Yes its a good match. You could easily run a R9 290 if its in your budget, fits in your case and can be reliably run by your PSU.

How much more fps would I gain from upgrading to say a r9 280 or 290, or even a 760 or 770?

Depends on the game. It will not bottleneck on most games. It will bottleneck in games like Watch_Dogs.

 

[johntc121]

Is that just because of the specific game? Or just open world games like Watch Dogs? Cause I did notice that Watch Dogs didn't run too well on my ps4.

 

[NightAntilli]

Watch_Dogs is simply poorly optimized for multiple cores. You'll notice the same thing with something like the Assassin's Creed series. In games that use multiple cores however, it'll definitely not bottleneck.

 

[johntc121]

Okay. But I should be good for games like Rust/DayZ/H1Z1 and CS:GO as well as most other big AAA titles?

 

[i7Baby]

It'll be fine in those games with a 270x. A 280x will improve fps by 50%. A 290 will improve fps by 70% over the 270x
