How much would the AMD Athlon x4 860K Bottleneck a GTX 1060 3gb?

[samura]

Hello ;
I have just consired replace my gtx750 with gtx 1060 3gb. Does it get huge bootleneck ?

Thanks

 

[magneezo]

More than likely yes.
It really depends what you plan to do with it.
The 1070 will drag that Athlon around by the boots
but it shouldn't be too bad if you can deal with adjusting settings and low resources

Depends on the game. Some games are highly cpu dependent so it's possible that you'll see some bottleneck. If you are monitoring for it. Otherwise what you'll get is a gpu that's not living up to its full potential. If you aren't pushing the gpu in the 90% range, you probably won't notice anything.

you would never see the full power of the 1060, but it would still be a HUGE upgrade


even better if you overclock the 860k

Actually, I want to buy 1060 for play battlefield 1. So, is bf 1 more gpu or cpu dependent. ?Now i get average 40 fps at open beta on 1920*1080 low settings. İf i buy 1060 will i see huge difference ?

 

[Karadjgne]

You'll go from 1080p low settings to high with a good chance at most settings being ultimate. Yes, it's a huge leap

Thank you for answers guys. I have found that video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et9qpRk7tlM He is playing battlefiled 1 with 880k and 1060gtx on ultra settings. It gets average 45 fps but i54690k gets average 100fps same graph settings. I think there is a huge bottleneck with 880k. What do you think ?

I think it's amd, which generally has @⅔ the single thread performance of a decent Intel. The 4690k is higher than decent, it's one of the most powerful Intel cpu's that only gets better with OC, how much depends on the game. You could always OC your cpu, which with AMD's is almost a must if you want performance anywhere near a decent Intel, nevermind a powerhouse like the 4690k.

Thank you guys bottleneck or not i will buy 1060

You could look at it this way: Does this card allow you to play the game at a framerate you can enjoy? If yes, then buy the card. If no, then don't buy the card.

You are buying the card to play the game, not to check if there's a bottleneck or not. The only real purpose to checking performance with your CPU is to see if there is a less expensive card you can buy that will give you the same framerate. Why spend the money on a 1060 if you could buy something else that costs less? But if there is nothing else that can deliver that perfomance and costs less, then the 1060 is your best bet.

Thanks for help. İ am confused ıf I cant play bf 1 at 1920*1080 on ultra settings with above 50+ fps why ı should buy gtx 1060? İ think i will buy gtx 960. Gtx 960 will be much better with x4 860k.

 

[madmatt30]

Gtx 960 will be cheaper, not better.
With a 960 you'll probably get medium settings at the same fps as a 1060 would do ultra.

Personally on a budget level you should be looking at the RX 460 or 470.

 

[madmatt30]

Don't compare bf1 scores as an absolute either , while there's no doubt a highly overclocked i5 is a lot stronger those results are not comparable unless he's running those benches on 2 different system at the exact same time on the same map, same server & same number of players.

+ the fact it's a beta, ive pulled 80fps average one day & below 50 the next .

 

[samura]

Now I have another problem My gtx 750 is bottlenecking on bf 1. My cpu load always at %100 but gpu usage around 60-80. İ have to upgrade my cpu I think.

 

[madmatt30]

An 860k is never ever going to bottleneck a gtx 750 unless you're running 720p minimum settings OE similar.
& even then it's not a bottleneck as such

Check background usage on cores , its very unlikely its just bf1 pushing 100% usage.

 

[samura]

@madmatt30 i am going to upload a video about gpu usage i share the link. İ am playing on 1920*1080 low settings. Thanks for replies

 

[samura]

https://youtu.be/Zk3ReWKWOFg I added a video about it. my gtx 750 gets bottleneck. I am not sure what will happen ıf I buy gtx 1060.

 

[madmatt30]

To be fair mate 40fps minimum in an online match is fairly decent IMO.

Yup I'm seeing the usage , the issue here is that if you look around you'll see i5 skylake chips (even overclocked 6600k's) suffering the same 100% usage % 60-70% GPU usage.

Its more of a game issue than a CPU issue , I'd expect it to get patched out 'eventually'

If you're happy with fps but just want to see more gpu usage then up the graphics settings a bit.

I would argue that a 1060 is a little too much gpu for the 860k.
You should be looking at the 1050ti now it's available

 

[samura]

@madmatt30 thank you for your replies. I will wait for patch or something about cpu usage. If ı buy gpu ıt will be gtx1050ti. Gtx 1050ti seems much more solid for my destkop.thanks

 

[Karadjgne]

If you can, go for the 1050ti with additional 6pin. The standalone version is a little underperforming, spanked really by the Rx470 but way ahead of the rx460

 

[Imperial_1]

So, have you bough the gtx 1060 6gb? If so is it still paired with 860K? Will those game run good on for example : ARMA3 - GTA 5 - Paradox games like EU4 smoothly?

 

[customgtp]

I just installed a 1050 ti in my friends 860k build. Seems to run OK but struggles on that cpu I think. Games like the new call of duty and battlefield Hartline plays great. I tried mafia 3 and I had to do low settings and it still struggled... That cpu is kinda crap. My sons, old phenom ii x4 980 3.7ghz runs better

 

[madmatt30]

Mafia 3 is a massive GPU resource hog.
The 1050ti isn't quite strong enough for it.
I can only run medium on a gtx 970 to average 50fps.
