i3 6100 botleneck paired with rx 470 8gb version ???

[Thezcar]

Hey, so I have buildt one gaming pc Before, but when my cousin ask me to assemble parts for a more, of a budget gaming pc I choose the following parts for him
Cpu:i3 6100
Gpu:rx 470 8gb from sapphire nitro+
Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-B150M-HD3
Ram: Hyperx fury, 8gb 2x4 gb cl14 2133mhz
Case: Corsair carbide 200r
Powersupply: Cooler Master B600 VER.2, 600W PSU
Storage: Seagate 1tb harddrive
Os: Windows 10 32/64 bit usb
But my question are since he is using dvi dual link he couldent get a 4gb version of the rx470 (I live in sweden so meaby there is a 4gb version of the card with dvi d but not in sweden) so will the rx 470 8gb version bottleneck i3 6100 in cpu intensive games ?

The i3 6100 is stronger than people think. It would be fine with a 470.

I recommend a much better psu though.

Yeah okay what do you Think of my system config for my cousin ? And what powersupply do you recomment becuse the swedish site recommended 500min so i just Went 100 watt more.

520-550w is plenty. Try to get something off of tier 1 or 2, and only go to tier 3 if you HAVE to. Avoid tiers 4 and 5 no matter what.

What is the cheepest powersupply that can still power the rx 470 8gb version ? and not blow up and it dosent have to be modular ?

 

[madmatt30]

It is modular , its excellent quality & its cheaper than that crappy cooler master you originally picked.

Well i Think 450 w is to not enogh to power the hole system so what about this EVGA 600W White?? (ik it's not modular)

 

[madmatt30]

The CX450 is absolutely enough mate & a lot lot better quality than an evga b1 or w.

Its a DC DC unit which means it can offer that full 450w on the 12v rails.

Your components will top out at maybe 320w completely & utterly maxed out !

 

[madmatt30]

I'll also point youvtovthevfact that a 4gb nitro 480 is a better card thanbthe 470 8gb & is likely actually cheaper or the same price.

I see no point whatsoever in a 8gb model of the 470 personally

Hello yeah I wrote in the original question that the monitor my cousin is going to use only have dvi d and the 4gb models dont have that in the i/o and then you may think he can buy a adapter yeah he could but the monitor dont run at 1920 1200 anymore then

 

[madmatt30]

The 4gb models have dvi exactly the same as the 8gb models mate . not sure where you've got that info from?

All the cards have 2x HDMI,2x dp, 1x dvi-dual

so will the rx 470 8gb version bottleneck i3 6100 in cpu intensive games ?

AMD drivers are really bad in some games and so if you don't have a super strong CPU it will run slower then it should.
Although AMD cards are stronger in general, for this reason nvidia cards run better,especially with lower CPUs.

(check youtube for amd driver overhead)

 

[madmatt30]

^ no that's absolute rubbish !


Thezcar - there's some confusion here mate regarding outputs.

The sapphire nitro models

Rx470 4gb
Rx 470 8gb
Rx 480 4gb
Rx 480 8gb

Are identical externally - all the video outs etc are EXACTLY the same.

The 480 nitro 4gb costs less on komplett than the 8gb 470 & its a stronger card.

 

[Thezcar]

yeah i saw that and i went with the 4gb model so thats that just whant to point out that I personlly use nividia 980ti actually
