What do you think about a 7850 with a OCed A10-5800k, will it be bottlenecked

[MrAcd]

I have a A10-5800k Oced at 4.3ghz will disabling the IGPU help decrease APU temps for more OC, and will the 7850 match good with my OCed CPU or do I need to OC more so no bottleneck. Also I play a 1280 x 1024, will a 1gb 7850 be enough to Run games a ultra with great FPS or do I need a 2gb. Money is REALLY tight, like I only have 40$ so far, and is there any way I could dedicate ram to the GPU

1) There shouldn't be a bottleneck with the HD7850 at your OC level, but anything more (>HD7870) may cause a bottleneck. Turning off the iGPU won't have a massive impact on your temps either.

2) For 1280x1024 the 1GB HD7850 will be plenty for ultra settings. If you wanted to kick it up to a 1600x900 or 1920x1080, you would still get most games running at over 30-40fps on ultra settings.

3) For that resolution I wouldn't say that you'd need to dedicate any RAM to the GPU. 1GB should be plenty, I get decent 144x900 framerates on a 1GB HD6770, which is pretty inferior to the HD7850.

Hope this helps!

At 1280 x 1024 it is more than enough and will easily max out any game with over 40-50+ fps.
Your cpu won't be a bottleneck when it is oced to 4.3 ghz.
If you are considering to get a 2gb vram card that resolution won't require that much vram and you could easily get away with using 1gb vram.(also 2gb hd 7850 are overpriced currently).

What do you think about on a 7870 for 15$ more I can get a 7870

I don't think there's much point getting a HD7870, as the HD7850 will be plenty considering your CPU. Put the $15 you save into a pot to upgrade your CPU at a LATER date, as right now the A10 and the HD7850 will be plenty for your gaming needs.

i got the 7870, hoping it wont bottleneck all that much plsu its OCed at 4.3ghz that should make up from some of the bottleneck

Well, at the end of the day it's your decision. There shouldn't be a massive bottleneck, and you should be able to achieve good framerates on most games on the market. The HD7870 is good though, may I ask what HD7870 you're getting?

Sure but first I wanted to tell you thanks for your input in the descion but I ended up getting a Sapphire 2gb OCed dual fan 7870

good choice

Let us know if you get a bottleneck with that OC.

 

[MrAcd]

You think so, is sapphire all that, like how good are they? and it was the cheapest and had 2 fans for my OCing im going to do

haha, I will defiantly, fed ex thinks it will come Thursday, so I will post her Thursday or Friday, but may I ask why, like are you in the same situation, or just curious?

No I'm just curious... You know.. For future reference if someone else should end up in the same boat as you

ok so I have got my 7870, and I LOVE it, best GPU for the right price especially for performance, as far as bottlenecking goes I really haven't seen all that much with the OC, I mean they are only 5-10 fps off of my friend who has a 7870 with a fx - 6300 but I mean I might OC more and catch up, when I OCed my cpu to 4.2ghz I was only 4-8fps off from him, how surprised I was, but this is just first day use and brief look at those aren't final results but a quick look at them, I will run furmark and then we will compare

BTW this is my other post, check out and hopefully help me out, this is why I bought the 7870 all together http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1663215/desperate-battlefiels-pixel-skipping-posible-solutions.html
