Does my FX-6350 bottleneck a GTX 980 TI

As the title says, i can run stable at 4.2 GHZ.

buy it and benchmark it while looking at cpu graphs in the games that you play with the resolution of your screen. That will answer it. BTW why do you need 980ti? Pick up AMD 390 for half the price, it's enough.

 

[sizzling]

Yes. An overclocked 8350 can slightly bottleneck a 970 in CPU intensive games so pairing a 6350 with a 980Ti is many times worse. The 980Ti really needs a good i5 or i7

yes, at 1080p and amd cpu will bottleneck it, along with your monitor unless you have a 144hz monitor to see the benefit from more than 60fps. at 4k, there isnt so much of a bottleneck and a 980ti is pretty much the only single gpu solution that play demanding games at 4k decently. If you have the budget to buy that card, id suggest spending half that on a gtx970, and updating motherboard and cpu to intel i5.

I wanted to buy the 980 ti because i have the option to buy it brand new for 350 euro, which is very cheap.
But if im buying the gpu, all my money is gone
But is bottleneck very bad? Of just annoying?

For that price it does not matter the bottleneck becasue some amount u will spend on a gtx 970 which is the limit for your cpu, so the question is for what to pay 350 euros on a gtx 970 or on a gtx 980 ti, i think the answer is clear here no more need to debate. Go for it if u trust the seller.

GTX 970 for 400 euro or GTX 980 TI for 350 and then upgrade later to a better processor or to intel.
Seems like a good plan to you?

Yes, thats more then good, go for the 980 ti, thats a bargain, i dont know why u are hesitating.

EDIT: its like saying "what sounds better a toyota for 30.000 euro or lamborghini for 25.000 euro."

But then its like my cpu is like shitty tires/tyres. So i go as fast as the toyota in my lambo.

But still, im going for the lambo then thanks for your help.
