Will an FX-8350 bottleneck a R9 390x?

[PlasmaScopes]

Title says it, will the GPU be limited by an FX-8350 in my current system?

Thanks in advance

It depends on the game. Some games that lean heavily on a single core or two, yes, it will (ARMA for instance).

For games that are able to use 4+ threads, the 8350 will support the card very well.

I wish I had the $$$ to find out 🙁

Overall, it should be a great combo --- especially when clocked up to Dude-Man levels

Something to keep in mind is that the new Vulcan API is going to let developers spread 3d calls across threads. In effect what that means is that an 8-core is going to do very well with Vulcan games.

I have a fx 8350 with a R9 390 and the CPU is definitely bottlenecking me. :/

Unless you have a fast display IT is going to be the bottleneck, that CPU/GPU combination should run most games at, or over 60FPS, especially if you keep AA low.

Your saying my monitor is causing my framerate to be low?

No. But a 60 Hz monitor will show 60 FPS tops. The 980 ti (when paired with a processor that does not bottleneck) is capable of much more than that @ 1080p.

^Yep, my R9 290 can comfortably exceed 60FPS in plenty of titles at 1080 rez, which is why I recently swapped over to a 144Hz Freesync display.

@ relyks0: The AMD chips are known to have less performance core-per-core than Intel, which puts them at a sizable disadvantage in games that cannot use all the cores which does create a bottleneck.
No I'm not saying your display is causing low FPS-Is this the problem?
