Will my FX-8350 bottleneck nvidia 1080?

[kingwolf]

Was wondering if my FX-8350 will bottleneck the 1080? and if it does by how much? should i just wait to get an intel processor and mobo?

It depends on the game. Some games yes. Some games no.

 

[cdabc123]

you will see much better performance from a decent i5 on many games

some examples if you dont mind me askin

Anything that utilizes all 8 threads? Possibly yes possibly no. Most likely no. Anything that utilizes under 8 threads and is a triple A title? Possibly. Probably. Honestly, it isn't exactly a good pairing to have a 1080 with an 8350. Tbh, I would go with a 1070 if you're dead set on Pascal and an upgrade to an i5/save to an i7.

in many situations it cant even keep up with a gtx 970


any kind of cpu bound game (arma 3) , or online game that cpu will bottleneck

if you want to step up to a 1080, then it's time to upgrade to an i5 setup

it's like my i5 6600K bottlenecking my AMD 390x

there is a problem there then >.>


my cpu easily keeps up with a highly oc'ed 290x no issues and it is not as good as yours

 

[genthug]

If your i5 6600k is bottlenecking a 390x, I think something else is wrong in your system tbh.

i don't know mate , i come from a strictly middle class background , i'll probably never can afford to buy an LGA 2011(3) cpu , but what i know even with my 6600k i5 and my 390x , my computer becomes like a vacuum cleaner in a game like doom , even when i play only HD and with everything on mid settings ...

 

[genthug]

An i5 6600k + gtx 960 (worse than your GPU) plays it on high/ultra at 60FPS... Something is wrong with your system.

i don't know mate , i play doom sometimes and even in multiplayer (which requires less graphics) , when i take off my headset , i hear my whole thing going like wooooooooo , it's so disappointing after spending so much on the biggest chassis on the entire planet (cooler master cosmos II) lol , i think if i had a transparent case , like some people do , the transparent part would melt too

on a large majority of games their isnt a single better cpu than that i5 and a 390x is a very nice gpu

 

[genthug]

How hot are you CPU and GPU running? Do you have thermal paste on both? Do you have the CPU cooler seated correctly? Do you have an aftermarket instead of a stock?

i honestly don't know what's wrong with my system , i think it's my motherboard overheating , cause it's usually the chassis fans top , rear and front that work really hard in doom , lol , my mobo is only a z170x gaming 3 , do you think if i make use of my old r9 270x on the second slot it can use that too , in doom ? with direct x 12 i mean , and do you believe that would be better than a single card ? thank you

yes it's quite decent ,

i bought it for its 8 Gb of vram cause , my old 270x only had 2 and it was lagging behind in virtually every game , 8 Gb of vram will probably give me sometime to replenish my credits , and i can also try overclocking it with water cooler too later

 

[Tacticall993]

You gaming 4k? If not, then there really would be no difference if you just get a 970. If you game on anything above 1080p, Then yes, I'd recommend getting a better cpu. Have you thought of overclocking before you get a new chip?

 

[genthug]

The 270x isn't compatible with the 390x for Xfire unfortunately. I'd grab HWMonitor and check your CPU and GPU temps, and possibly speedfan as well to check how your fans are running.

i didn't run a monitoring software to be honest , but i'm considering downloading and installing the gigabyte software that says automatically overclocks the cpu , cause i have no clue as to what to do in the BIOS

for the gpu , i have to register my card to get overclocking software ! and that is only for 1 year ! that's too much to do , and i'm currently using AMD overdrive

yes the thermal paste is applied properly and with care , but the 6600K doesn't come with any sort of cooler you have to buy your own aftermarket

 

[genthug]

Right... I'd check Hardware Monitor, MSI afterburner, and speedfan for hardware monitoring.
I also wouldn't get a software to "automatically overclock" your machine. I would learn to do it manually--but that's for a different thread. It's tedious, but it's more stable than automatic overclocking.

it's my case fans mate , i can hear them running , but i will install the gigabyte software anyhow to see how they're running

{We broke off the actual thread, but its ok }

Fix the positions of your fans. How many fans ya got? Intake/exhaust? Figure out the CFM of the system and fix it accordingly. You ocing your 390x?

it's a software by the manufacturer , gigabyte , and not a third party software like cpu z or gpu z
