FX 6300 4.4Ghz with 980 Ti?

[Brayden Kelly]

I'm going to buy a MSI GTX 980 ti to pair with my FX 6300 OC to 4.4GHz.

I was wondering how bad the bottleneck would be, and difference from default speeds to 4.4Ghz bottleneck difference.

And what card it would perform similar to because of bottleneck?

And don't get too crazy i will upgrade to a 4790k like a month after i get the GPU, just gotta get the money.

im sure it will bottleneck it a fair amount, but games will still be very much playable. having a cpu limited game is much more likely to stutter than having a gpu limited game.

How many fps would I lose?

 

[N3rdR4ge]

there are too many things to consider to answer that question. that being said, if i had to guess, maybe +/-20fps compared to an i7-4790k on new titles like witcher 3.

okay thanks, so not too major

no problem. you'll be fine with the fx-6300 but when you do switch itll be worth the boost.
