Hi,
I bought an A10 5800K to game. Though very impressed with its preformance (OC'd it could do 1080p Skyrim on high with mods), I decided to purchase a 1GB 7850 so I could play on ultra.

Will the A10 bottleneck it?

Would I notice a large FPS increase if I had, say an i5?

Thanks.

The a10 would not bottleneck a 1gb 7850.

but yes, if you had a decent i5, like the i5-3470, your performence would be better( depending on the game, in some you wont see almost any diffrence, in some can even be a 10fps diffrence)

Skyrim is a game that works the CPU more than most others, so the faster your CPU, the faster the game will run. Up to a point of-course, the video card speed will have to keep in balance with the CPU.
