Bad CPU good GPU = what

[Geirzter]

I have a amd 6100 six core processor which i dont know much about, and i just ordered a r9 290 4g GPU will it perform slower with my CPU?

Yes your cpu won't let the 290 run at 100% in a lot of games - especially where you have to have a good cpu eg BF4.

I now have a Amd hd series c.a 100$ GPU and i run bf4 fine on ultra?

if you get a good CPU cooler and overclock your CPU (assuming you have a good motherboard) it will perform just fine for most games. sure there are some games that do not perform well but bf4 is known not to perform well on lots of machines.

If you are playing allot of fps or mmo then CPU becomes more of an issue otherwise you should be fine

Not until you get a better CPU.

according to your link there recommended cpu is very close to what he has

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-Phenom-II-X6-1055T-vs-AMD-FX-6100

if he overclocks it should be better than there recommended CPU

Put your PC details into the Game Debate screen and see how you go.

if he is playing on a 1080p screen he will not ever really use all of that r9 290 anyways. like i said earlier in mmo or twitch shooters with 40 people playing yes he will be limited but that is only a small segment of games when looking at all games.

he should be able to play all of the newest AAA games without much issue. might have to turn down some aa
