Will a FX-6300 Bottleneck a GTX 780?

HeStoodUp · Mar 18, 2014

First build for gaming.
My build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3bN09
I am on a budget so I do not want to spent too much on parts so if you have any suggestions to lower cost please do tell.

You'd want to overclock it. It's easy too, just go into the bios and push the multiplier up to 21.5 (4.4Ghz) or above that, if you desire so.

Will I be able to do that with the cpu cooler that I have?

HeStoodUp :

According to me overclocking the 6300 upto 4.4ghz will also result in slight bottlenecking and so my recommendation is that you upgrade to something like the i5

in some games like bf4 multiplayer, yes even if overclocked, the game will suffer some bottleneck by the CPU.

Beezy :

You are not the smart one now are you? In Battlefield 4 matches with alot of players, the 6/8 cores will really help, and match or OUTPERFORM an i5.
And yes sir, I have my 6350 overclocked to 4.3Ghz, stable and whatnot. On a TX3, basicly the littlebrother to the EVO 212.

FX6350 :

im not saying 6 cores isnt good, or dont get used, im saying the CPU will still bottleneck the GPU a bit. nothing to cry over, you are still getting the most out of the CPU at the end of the day, so be happy about that.

I'd like to see a 6300 outperform an i5 :lol:

This would be far better for like $13 more. I could have went cheaper but, I wanted to give an option for SLI.

For a gaming build I would recommend a I5 4670k or FX 8320 (Overclock the 8320) which would be cheaper especially since you can get a FX 8320 for $130. Yes I relies this is old.

logainofhades · Jul 3, 2014

1230v3 is on par with an i7 4770 for less.

Thanx for the necro though.

A 6300 will not outperform an i5. I had an 8320 clocked to 4.4 gHz and it would get huge FPS drops to 35-40 and not run more than 70 fps with SLI GTX760. I upgraded to a 4790k, my FPS doubled and will not drop below 90, typically running over 130.

I'm Crossfireing my HD 7970, so do you think a i5 4440 will bottleneck it? They have similar performance to a GTX 780 Ti when scaling is good just for reference.

No you won't see a bottleneck with the i5 4440 and X fire
