Hi everyone
First thing first, this is my config:
AMD FX-6300 @4.5GHz
8GB RAM 1333MHz DC (2x4)
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 (rev. 3.0)
Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 @1100/1450MHz
OCZ ZT750W (+12VDC @ 62A)
So, i'm thinking to do a 7950 Crossfire, but i wonder if my FX-6300 @4.5GHz will not bottleneck it.
Yes, I know I'll run it at x16/x4 and i'll lose some performance (for me isn't a problem). The power supply isn't a problem either. I intend to run the GPUs at stock.
Well, I was testing the performance of my processor and i get worried about this bottleneck when I saw that in the Crysis 3, my CPU are running at about +90% ("Welcome to the jungle" mission) with 35~40 FPS. Even if i reduce the graphics quality ("very high" to "very low"), i don't got many frames. Only about plus 5~10. And i also saw that the GPU usage does not pass above 60%.
But it only happens on Crysis 3. At games like BF3, FarCry 3, Medal of Honor Warfighter, Tomb Raider (2013) and other at Ultra Settings the CPU does not goes above 60% and the GPU reaches 100%.
And another question. If it will bottleneck, can i overclock more my CPU? Unfortunately i got a bad chip. To get 4.5GHz i need to increase the voltage to 1.55, below that, it becomes unstable. Temperature isn't a problem here, i'm only worried in increase too much the voltage and damage the CPU.
ps: sorry for my english
