Amd A8 6600K bottleneck ???? Please answer.

[MoonL]

I have a question . I have an AMD A8 6600K . I will use his integrated graphics until i buy a dedicated video card . In future i want to buy a radeon 7850 . My processor will bottleneck this video card ?
In my country radeon 7850 is an expensive video card and i don't want to buy it and don't get maximum performance from it . Please , i need an answer.

no it will not at all bottleneck a 7850
it can even go with a 7870

But u'll waste a good IGP HD 8570D which is equivalent with a HD 5670 gfx.

It's all right, just remember if u wanna go for high-end gaming, never buy a APU. It only designed for budget gaming and getting a good gfx like HD 7850 will waste your money on a unfunctional IGP

Depending on the game possibly.

Something like bioshock/ tomb raider no.

Something like wow, possibly, SC2 a bit, BF3 MP yes, Crysis 3 yes, GW2 a ton.

i bought this CPU because i don't have money right now for a video card . I want to use CPU integrated graphics until i have money for a dedicated video card . Later i want to buy a good video card (radeon 7850) for future games . You say i will get MAXIMUM performance from it ? I don't want to buy something that doesn't work at full potential with this CPU.
whyso says in some games like crysis 3 , battlefield 3 ...... the cpu will bottleneck the video card . This kind of games i want to play (i don't play online games) . I don't understand .

I am running a HD6970 with my A10 5800K, there will be a bottleneck in some titles but as a rule of thumb if the game is GPU limited then the A8 6600K will squeeze basically identical Fps That you would get in say a 8350 or 3770.

It's less powerful than the HD 5670. The integrated Radeon HD 8670D with 2133MHz DDR3 RAM is only as fast as a Radeon HD 6670 w/ DDR3 RAM. It's performance is basically halfway between the Radeon HD 5570 and HD 5670.

Actually, the A8-6600k has the integrated Radeon HD 8570D instead of the Radeon HD 8670D so the performance should be a little less than the Radoen HD 6670 w/ DDR3 RAM.

In games that are not really CPU dependent, there will not be much of a difference compared to higher end CPUs. The link below is for the A10-6800k, but the A8-6600k should provide close to similar results since the difference is only 200MHz. The test rig uses a Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition.

http://www.techspot.com/review/681-amd-a10-6800k-a4-4000/page7.html

The games tested are Far Cry 3, Tomb Raider and Battlefield 3 (Single Player mode) and are not very CPU dependent so the performance with the HD 7970 is pretty much similar for the A10-6800k / A8-6600k and higher end CPUs.. Note that BF3 multiplayer is CPU dependent so I will assume there will be some performance difference compared to higher end CPUs.

In games that are more CPU dependent like Skyrim, Crysis 3, and Civilization 5, the A10-6800k / A8-6600k will provide lower performance.

I don't want to play online (multiplayer) games . You say in cpu dependent games the cpu will provide lower performance . But this is about CPU processing power , not GPU . This doesn't mean the cpu will bottleneck a radeon 7850 . I am right ?
I just want to know if my CPU will limit the power of a radeon 7850 because if i buy it i want to get MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE from this video card.

That's really weird. I was wondering the exact same question with the exact same CPU and the same GPU.

Are you saying using the 6600k with a 7850 will give me no better performance than the 6670 dual graphics?

You will get much faster performance out of the HD7850 regardless of dual graphics, The 7850 can play almost everything on highest settings so no it won't be the same.

 

[NukaB]

Okay. So a upgrade to that in the future would be a good idea or save money and get a new CPU+GPU in the more distant future?

Not that i want to upgrade ATM, my PC does just fine!

There is no chance of bottlenecking there with 4 piledriver and 3.9 clock speed

There are no specific CPU scaling examples for the Radeon HD 7850, but a weak CPU can limit a graphic card's performance in games that is CPU dependent. See following examples:
