cpu bottlenecks (770)

[symsus]

From another thread someone said that a 7790 will bottleneck an i5 4670. I was really confused as I was sure that a 770 outperforms a 7790. Is it true that a 4670 will be bottlenecked by a 770. If it does.. what cpu should I purchase for a 4670 without bottlenecks.

Are they drunk or something?? The i5 4670 won't even get bottlenecked with 2 GTX 780s!!

no a i5 4670 will not bottleneck 7790, it could perhaps start bottlenceking something like r9 290x or 780ti in some games

From a performance perspective a 7790 would handy cap your build with that processor. on the other hand a 770 would not be bottle necked by a 4670k processor.

disable the power saving from your graphic card. your cpu is fine... if you want more fps just disable any king v sync and others thing.

Whether AMD or Intel is your platform, most single GPU configs will be the bottleneck in a high end system with newer games.

A mid-range Crossfire or SLI setup will give the CPU more room to flex it's muscle when it comes to modern multi-core optimized games.

With a 7790 or 770, the good news is you can get one now, and add a 2nd later if you like. And with the new AMD GPU drivers out with frame pacing this is a realistic option now.

good thought that a 770 would outperform. While I'm here, should i bother getting a 4670k and a z87 motherboard to oc a 770? If so any recommendations? Looking around a few people said not to bother but this is to try increase fps.

If you want to OC the 770, you can get a non K cpu, and an H mobo. When you OC the GPU, it's not dependent on your mobo or CPU overclockability. But if you want to OC your K version CPU, then get a Z series mobo.

Just DL msi Afterburner, then OC your 770. But if you game on 1080p, you'll max out most games anyway. No need to OC IMHO.
