i was seeing all the other threads but they didnt really answer my question.

will the rx470 get bottlenecked enough to even care about?

and if so how much frames would i get rather then i should.

not looking for upgrade suggestions just wanting answers.\
thnks
 
ok thnk you ill see what other people say but i think im gonna pick one up, i will probably end up ocing the 860k to about 4.2 ghx cuz thats what ive seen people getting stable with my mobo so.
thnks!
 
I have the 880K and on Doom max settings with a 2K monitor and a GTX 1060 with Vulkan, I get over 150FPS. With the new API's like DirectX 12 and Vulkan coming out the number of cores matter more now, not how strong each core is.
 


that is really amazing given that 1060 can do 117 fps on average with an i7 on 1080p.. hehe.

maybe you have some settings turned down.
 


Ops forgot Doom does not support 2560X1080 which is my monitor's normal ratio, its running at 1920X1080. Was still getting 122fps in open areas, and 140+ in more closed area. Was incorrect on the max. Still not bad that a 95 dollar AMD FM2+ CPU is keeping up with a much much more expensive Intel I7. Also those benchmarks you linked are 3 months old....
