Athlon 760k OC W/ Radeon 7950?

[Chester Buttbeard]

I was wondering if the Athlon 760k overclocked would bottleneck a Radeon 7950's performance. For example, if I were to play Battlefield 4 with the 760k and R7950 at 720p, would the GPU be bottlenecked?

Yes. I had that CPU with the R9 270X, severe bottleneck, down to 30% GPUS usage. Now, you are at 720p, so you may be lucky to hit 45 fps.

Ah, damn, thanks for the insight.

Sorry to say man, but I would try the FX-6300 with that GPU and maybe this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514

I'm going to buy an FX 6100/920extreme mobo combo 😱

Get an FX-6300 at least. The Piledriver architecture is better than the Bulldozer architecture. The 6300 is the same socket as the 6100, only the same price and better performance.
