Cpu bottle necking gpu?

[evanphillips]

Since I got my fx 8320 framerates will be better than my old 4300 but the nout of no where the fps will go down to 20 for a minute or so along with my gpu usage going way down to the 40s. This happens in gta 5, Battlefield 4 and Dragon age: Inquisition someone said that the 8320 was bottlenecking the r7 265 but I don't think that's the case as apperently it wont even bottleneck a gtx 970( which I plan to get ) anyways what could be happening? I haven't had any problem with my fx 4300

Gpu r7 265
Ram 8gb DDR3
Motherboard 760GM-P34
Psu cx 750w

sounds like thermal throttling is occurring, you should check your CPU temperature while gaming to see if your running hot.

The temperature never rose above 40 degrees with my cooler master 313 evo only running at 25%

hum... well a FX 8320 wont really bottle neck a GPU, your not over heating, this is occurring in all games... So, when you made the CPU switch, did you reinstall windows? what version of windows are your running? did you install fresh drivers for the motherboard? is your motherboard on the latest BIOS/UEFI?

some more diagnostics, pleas keep an eye on the CPU utilization during the frame rate drop, along with storage. just trying to figure out if anything is peaking during these.

I did not re install windows or update anything, just put in the cpu and started playing. Is there anything I need to do? I'm thinking about selling it and buying a new mobo/i5 because this is ridiculous

Always always alway got a 'can I run it' questions, then GO TO

WWW.CANIRUNIT.COM and look for yourself. The RECOMMENDED hardware is what will make the game 'like I saw on youtube'. If you don't have it then NO it won't play like you saw on youtube. You can either PAY TO PLAY (PC Gaming is expensive) or settle for a PS4 which then you will never have to ask this question again

If you follow this advice you will see the GPU is incapable to playing the games your trying for and at the probably graphics levels your putting them to http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/gta-v-pc-graphics-performance-review,5.html

Yes you need a better GPU.
