Question about a CPU I purchased

WesternFan91 · Sep 16, 2013

CybertronPC Tomahawk TGM4222I Gaming PC - AMD Quad-Core FX-4100 3.60GHz, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, DVDRW, 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6670, Windows 8 64-bit, Keyboard & Mouse

Would this be able to run Bf4 and bf3? or would i need to replace it with a better graphics card.

I think you can play BF3 but definitely not in high/ultra, maybe in low. For BF4 hard to say but the graphics engine is the same as BF3, just enhanced.

You will need to upgrade your graphics card if you want to play smoothly and with nicer graphics.

okay I figured I would need a better graphics card, what would you recommend?

ImPain · Sep 16, 2013

I know Nvidia better than AMD, but I can recommend you :

- Nvidia : GTX 770 or 780 (if you have the budget, otherwise 770 will be fine)
- AMD : 7970 or Ghz edition

For AMD, I think the 9000 series are coming soon also so maybe you can wait a bit if you don't want to go for a 770.

Regards.

ImPain :

I'm pretty sure the fx-4100 will bottleneck pretty bad for a video card with that high of performance, especially in multiplayer BF 3 and 4. He may need to look into a FX-6350/8350 to eliminate some of that bottle neck as well.

I would say you need to upgrade both CPU and GPU honestly. Some games will be fine, and other CPU intensive games may run less than desired. BF 3 single player is more about the GPU, but the multiplayer likes alot of cores to maintain playable framerates.

Agreed for the CPU, a 6350 could do it.

For the original poster. Here is the type of bottleneck that I am referring too: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/piledriver-k10-cpu-overclocking,3584-10.html

PS: Keep in mind that they tested the fx-4350, not the fx-4100. The fx-4100 is slower so your results would be even worse than the fx-4350 results in that article I posted. Not by too much though, maybe a few FPS lower.

Battlefield 4 will run like crap on both that GPU. The cpu will max out at around 35fps (min) no matter what GPU though.

^This. Much depends on what system can support and budget.
