How big is the bottleneck going to be?

[KearneyMC]

As you know tomorrow is the festive time of the year of gift exchange and all that jazz. For my gift I decided to get an R9 380 for my rig

SPECS ATM:

CPU: AMD ATHLON 860k Running at 4Ghz
GPU: R7 250x 2gb ASUS
PSU: EVGA 650G
MOBO: Gigabyte F2A58M-HD2
RAM: HyperX Fury 8gb

The thing I would like to know is, How big is the bottleneck going to be on my rig when I install that new card?

Some games I like to play are Fallout 4 Fallout NV CSGO And games like that.


Regards, Kearney

not too much you will probably get around 40fps on medium.

But if you get a new CPU like a FX8350 you can get around 60fps on high settings.

But dont worry too much you have your CPU overclocked like crazy, See how it goes, and if you think performance is crap, then just get a new CPU

I guess that you are an AMD fan...

Just so you know, that GPU consumes a lot of power and produces a lot of heat.
My i5 processor has more than twice the processing power of your CPU, and an 8350 won't really help for gaming, because its performance per thread is not much faster than your current CPU..
So if you find your GPU is a bottleneck, upgrade to an i5
