AMD FX-4350 FPS with a GTX 980?

[MeetballSub]

I want to know if I were to use a GTX 980 with a wimpy FX-4350 what the expected FPS would be. Please give a serious answer, don't say: "you need to upgrade or you will get bottlenecked", because I know.

So the answer on your first question is you will get 5% less fps on all games than what a 970 get on most benchmarks on the web.

So battlefield 4 average 72 fps
Thief average 65 fps
Arma 3 67 fps
Grid 84 fps etc etc
Ok?

You'll get playable FPS (with a share of stuttering), but if you have a 120/144Hz monitor the FX 4350 won't be able to maintain that no matter how good the GPU is.

But who the F combines a FX 4350 with a GTX980, if you had the money for the GTX980 then you'd have the money for an FX 8350 or an Intel or something. Or could've gone with a GTX770/960 or R9 280/285/380.

So? The answer? Can i play 2015-present games with AMD FX-4350?? Is it compatible with AMD rx 470 vga?


Example: Just cause 3

^ yes you can , yes it is.

Just don't expect 60fps ultra on everything - 45-50fps on high is a more likely scenario.

If you don't already have the CPU , you would be better off with a pentium g4560 , a b250 board & ddr4 ram - would work out about the same price buying new.

So, even if i've a good GPU, i can only play 40-50 FPS on amd fx 4350? What CPU i need to play them smooth, i'm low on budget

 

[madmatt30]

45-50fps is smooth in my opinion.

Low on budget as I said - pentium g4560 , b250 board , 8 GB DDR 4 2400 ram
