Hello, I have a question. I have a new PC I built like a month ago and the processor is an a10-5800k clocked and approx 3.9GHZ, and I was planning on getting a 670, I have heard that this apu has a decent CPU comparable to that of a athlon II x4 750k and that processor doesn't seem to bottleneck any mid range gpu, so I'm asking if it will bottleneck the 670 or if it will be fine or even a unnoticeable bottleneck. Please do not recommend gpus or upgrade options, I want to know the status of this particular configuration.
 
Solution
You might experience some bottlenecking in more CPU dependent titles, but overall, it should be OK. The lack of L3 cache hurts your chip's gaming performance such titles.

How bad will the bottleneck be exactly, will it be noticible?

Only if you have seen the 670 in a more powerful system ;)

I'm not quit sure its a significant bottleneck, the 660 doesn't at all and the 670 is not that much better. And most other websites say if there is a bn with the. 670 it would be hardly noticeable.
