Hello , im new here . So i got one simple question , is it normal that my a8 3870k(stock clocks) is bottlenecking my GTX650 Ti Oc (GPU load around 50% while CPU load 100%) . So is this normal to happen and i need to buy a more powerfull cpu cause im not a ocing fan or is something else causing this problem ?

well, it depends on what you are trying to play. if you play a cpu dependent game you are going to bottleneck.

if you are playing a gpu dependent game you arent.

Well the game i play is usually battlefield 3 and when i join a map with 64 players things are getting even worse . So what cpu would you recommend me to buy so my card can run at its full potential ?

well, i would recommend atleast an fx 6300.

but that would also make you need to buy a new motherboard.
