I have an fx-6100 and its OC to 4.2 ghz and a gtx 660 asus OC edition and i feel like im getting a bottleneck. im playing crysis 3 and checked my gpu load and is stays at 99% but drops down to 73-85. no big deal. but then looked at my cpu load and all are at 93%
do i need to upgrade my cpu?

It does appear there is a slight bottleneck, but I would say it is not significant enough to warrant an upgrade. It seems that the oc 6100 and the 660 are a pretty good match. If your gpu load is at 99% at least at some point then your cpu is doing a pretty good job, it is simply getting hit hard at some cpu intensive points and that is to be expected.

Oh, didn't think of that one, good suggestion lmaonade. I'm going to have to tap out for now, nearly 1:00 am here.haha thanks
I was thinking that it may be the VRMs on the motherboard overheating, but since his clocks are stable that may not be the casepower supply shouldn't be an issue since if it were one then your computer would be shutting down. as for checking vram usage you can use programs like GPU-Z or MSI afterburner. Check the temps on your GPU while you're at it also.

Well a 500W is enough but a 6300 is not good for gaming but still it is well playable. i agree with usbgtx550, ther is a bottleneck. Crysis 3 is a both gpu and cpu intensive game.so it is normal.do u have an aftermarket cpu cooler?his cpu is actually a 6100, bulldozer, even worse than a 6300
but yeah there is a definite bottleneck by the cpu

my gpu temps wont go above 60c and i have a really nice cpu cool. a cooler master hyper 212 plus. but just now doing stress tests on my cpu, its not stable right now. i have read this cpu can go up to 4.5 stable and i keep getting blue screen. i can get stable at 4 ghz but it seems to bottleneck worse if i go to stock. do you think its the PSU not pushing enough power? and will my new 750w be better for my rig?

You have CX500W,right? it is more than enough. If u can get even a HX750W, then also it would be bottleneck, O.C ing it to 4.8 or greater will make a little increase in performance, the psu is enough although(i.e., CX500). The 8320 would be much better and would be worth an upgrade.
How much is the price diff. between 8320 and 8350? It think the 8350 is 190$..
