Would my fx 8100 bottleneck a gtx 970?

[Fabian_6]

Im planning on making a new pc. My current pc has a fx8100 and a gtx 750ti.

So im thinking on buying first the gpu, a gtx970, and im wondering if my current cpu could bottleneck it? Does my current cpu bottlenck my current gtx 750ti?

Yes, it will bottleneck a GTX 970, it should not be bottlenecking your 750ti. Faster cards it may, though. The FX 8100 was never a good CPU. Phenom II X6 often outperformed it.

yes, it will definitely bottleneck your gpu.

Here an old review of FX 8150 + GTX 580 to give you an idea what you may looking at.

you should be fine with 750 ti,.

Yea, the 750ti is about even, with a 560ti, so it should be fine, with an FX 8100.
