I just bought a msi r9 380 recently. and I try games like mortal combat x and need for speed the run. but I cant run those with ultra. is it becoz of my cpu or what? I only have amd a6-6400k. if it need to be changed, what cpu is the best?
 
Solution


yes, you have a weak dual core cpu

the best cpu you can get depends on your motherboard

Its a motherboard with fm2+ socket.
so i can get the a10 at most
 

Its an ASUS A55BM-E. Do a10 compatible with that r9 380?
 


the best gaming cpu your motherboard supports is the AMD AthlonX4 860K

make sure to update the motherboard bios before switching the cpu

cpu's have nothing to do with "compatability"

the cpu's just need to be fast enough to keep up with the performance of a gpu so it doesn't get held back


if your motherboard has a pcie slot, then it is "compatible" with a gpu
 


So the best cpu for my r9 is athlon? Is it?
 


no, that is the best you can get with your current motherboard
