AMD bottleneck possibly?

[zeritoxan]

If I buy a AMD APU A10-7890K Quad-core processor will it bottleneck with my fm2+ socket and MSI 1050 graphics card?

 

[COLGeek]

The mentioned APU (processor) and GPU (graphics card), should perform okay together. I wouldn't worry about bottlenecks too much.

Just keep in mind that this combo is at the lower spectrum of modern capability and that you may need to lower game graphics settings for optimal game play.

Having a discrete GPU you may want to look into Athlon X4 800K series.

His 7890k is about the same as the top end athlon. So it would just be a moneywaste.

Alright I know it’s not a full blown i7 comparison processor but I’m just looking to run at least on medium at 1080p with like 60-100 FPS that’s all I want I’ll upgrade more later do you think I can run that much on such games like Fortnite, Overwatch, and pubg?

Fortnite = 60 won't be seen often due to cpu
Pubg = just unplayable most of the time
Overwatch = 60 sure but not much higher.

So do you have any suggestions on a better AMD cpu that can connect with a Fm2/Fm2+/A series Socket? And run higher fps? While parring with the low end graphics card of MSI 1050? And without bottlnecking at all?

You basically have the best cpu you can have on the platform so no no upgrades to help you.

[zeritoxan]

So no other processors that can fit my sockets? Better than that that’s AMD?

 

[COLGeek]

Correct. Your CPU is already the max for the FM2+ line of products. Time to move to AM4 or Intel offerings. Sorry.

I see what your saying I just found a combo of the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler and GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming 3 AMD RYZEN AM4 B350 RGB Fusion Smart Fan 5 HDMI1.4 M.2 SATA 6Gbps USB 3.1 Type-A ATX DDR4 Motherboard

Don't forget you need a new mobo cpu and ram.

Just to be clear, you need a compatible motherboard and DDR4 memory to use the AM4 based Ryzen.

 

[zeritoxan]

I know I accidentally posted my reply before I was finished and had to update it

 

[zeritoxan]

So if I get that motherboard I’m going to need a new memory and ram that’s DDR4?

 

[COLGeek]

That would be a much stronger system with those components than what you have now.

G.SKILL Aegis 4GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C15S-4GIS, Would this memory work With the motherboard?

 

[COLGeek]

Yes, it will work, but likely at a lower speed than rated (2133). It will not be something you would notice in terms of performance. Ryzens can be picky with memory.

[zeritoxan]

Do you have a suggested memory for the Ryzen?

 

[COLGeek]

With your chosen motherboard, this would be better:

How do I go about Overclocking? how do I even start to? and how do I go about it safely?
