Will a 9800 GT bottleneck a FX-8320

MrAcd · Dec 2, 2013

Simple question, will the 9800 gt bottleneck a FX- 8320 and if so how bad?

iceclock · Dec 2, 2013

No, and u need a new gpu lol

dark_globe · Dec 2, 2013

in games yes , otherwise not really ...
if you intend to play modern games then you really need to buy new graphics card...

MrAcd · Dec 2, 2013

haha im well aware i need new one will get a R9 280x in April but for now on games like bf4 how big of a bottleneck?

iceclock · Dec 2, 2013

It's obvious yar

iceclock · Dec 2, 2013

That won't run bf4 smoothly sadly u need a new gpu

iceclock · Dec 2, 2013

That won't run bf4 smoothly sadly u need a new gpu

MrAcd · Dec 2, 2013

Haha it will have to do for now, i already new it wold be like low settings
PLUS im goingto overclock it, it will running on a 720P 15" monitor i think it will run fine at low settings

SnakeGTX · Dec 2, 2013

Well, there are no graphics cards out yet that can bottleneck a FX-8320.
So, the answer is yes, that card will keep the 8320 from using its full potential.
The question people usually ask is will my CPU bottleneck my GPU. Thats for people who have single cores and dual cores. Just about every quad core CPUs can handle any graphics cards. And a 8-core CPU could handle any graphics card.

I think you could run it fine on low.

Yes at low and a configuration tweak u should be good

MrAcd · Dec 2, 2013

Thanks that's what I was thinking I could okay at low until April, hey ice block didn't you help me with the other 760k vs 4300 forum? Well yeah I went all out and got a 8320, but thanks everybody for answering but how bad does it bottleneck?

SnakeGTX · Dec 2, 2013

MrAcd :

Well like i said the 8320 can't bottleneck any graphics card, therefor means that no graphics card can't, not, bottleneck it. And i think the newest GPUs will always bottleneck the newest CPUs. The CPUs will always be ahead.

So i would say the 9800 GT is bottlenecking it alot. Even a GTX 780 ti (best GPU) would be bottlenecking it.

iceclock · Dec 2, 2013

My names Iceclock not block lol. But yea I did help u out

iceclock · Dec 2, 2013

Answered well

MrAcd · Dec 3, 2013

SnakeGTX :

Wait I'm confused, I understand that no CPU can bottleneck a gpu but a gpu can bottleneck a CPU not letting it preform to its full poteinal, so how would a 780 ti bottleneck it?

SnakeGTX · Dec 3, 2013

MrAcd :

Yeah it is a bit confusing. Yes the 780 ti would bottleneck the FX-8320. The only thing that could start bottlenecking it is like four GTX 780 ti's. Or four GTX titans. Which those are the worlds best graphics cards. So just think of it as any graphics card that you put in your computer, will bottleneck that CPU. There is nothing you can really do about it. But, CPUs aren't suppose to go to 90% usage, as that would make the computer slow. So maybe in the future when this CPU is considered a "old" CPU, then maybe there would be some bottlenecking with normal graphics cards.

But for now, No graphics card will not bottleneck that CPU.

iceclock · Dec 3, 2013

that gpu is fine and no card can bottleneck it atm. simple

SnakeGTX · Dec 3, 2013

iceclock :

Well, exactly opposite. Every graphics card will bottleneck the CPU. Since the CPU is above all graphic cards.

iceclock · Dec 3, 2013

i meant nothing that you will notice of course in gaming the gpus gonna be loads faster then the cpu

MrAcd · Dec 3, 2013

Ohhhh i understand, but yeah like ICECLOCK, see what i did i got it right this time

, in normal gaming stuff you shouldnt notice a difference as long as its a great card and not a 9800 gt haha, but i see what are you saying so how low of a budget GPU can i go before i notice difference? I will probably go for a 7790 or a 7850 being that Mantle update is coming up, but hey thanks again you guys for the answers =)

iceclock · Dec 3, 2013

7850 would be a better buy. and more processing power for ur buck

SnakeGTX · Dec 3, 2013

Right now since I don't have a lot of spare cash to spend, I'm going for the HD 7870 for only $130 on Newegg. I think its a pretty good deal, and it has GCN, which means it can support AMD's Mantle. And it can run the newest games on max setting with a flawless 40-55 FPS. On 1080p of course.

And here is a useful link.

And here is the 7870:

SnakeGTX :

I love the user name having GTX in it then getting a radeon i got a Sapphire 7870 and i must say it is a wonderul card, i cant wait till mantle, on BF4 i get average of 48-60+ maxed at 1080p, then again i am Overclocked at the performance level of a 7950, which btw you can easily do, the 8320 is for my brother's build actually, which im so jealous because im running a A10-5800k Oced to 4.4ghz and i have the 7870 and he has a 8320 and a 9800gt :/ doesnt seem right, sounds like we should trade huh? haha but get the 7870 its amazing especially at that price i got mine for 189$. prices now are amazing well he will get his GPU in April so the prices then should be at its all time low if the cards are still available, probably go for a 7850 for him.

MrAcd · Dec 3, 2013

Oh wait that is my card haha, i didnt check the link out till then, dude go for it you wont regret it

BTW it is out of stock

SnakeGTX · Dec 3, 2013

MrAcd :

Hahahah yea. I first made up the name because I liked the game MGS, and the main character is named "snake".
And when i signed up for a game, and it wanted a username, it didn't allow "snake". So I added something that sounded cool. Like "GTX". And now its the name I go by online.

"BTW it is out of stock" :fou:

I've been searching for a good deal since October. and I found it, and now it is out of stock. I'm so ticked right now.
