Is a FX6300 Bottleneck for a GTX 970 ?

Justn · Oct 19, 2014

I'm planning to buy a New GPU and I think I'll get a GTX 970 from Asus but right now I own a FX 6300 and I think It will be a bottleneck for that Card .....

Is it true ? Will FX 6300 bottleneck GTX 970, If yes then How much possible ?

Yes it will bottleneck. The 970 is a fantastic GPU ready to play games for the next few years to come excellently, but the FX 6300's time is starting to run out and is falling behind.

I doubt it would personally... It took a 2 core processor at 1.2ghz to start bottlenecking a 980 at any real noticeable rate.

Source please ?

FX 6300 overclocked above 4+ghz will do very well @1080 and below, will it bottleneck a 970 GTX? To a point if your trying to run 1080 @ Ultra settings or a larger resolution.

So My FX 6300 won't bottleneck my GTX 970 on 1600x900 ?

delaro · Oct 19, 2014

Nope not at all.

No, I found my source, I wasn't quite right, but you can get the idea from this video. It's hard bottleneck a card.

Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor settings to Ultra. Try that on a AMD system and Intel with the same GPU and you will see what a bottle neck is. This game utilizes a GPU as a priority which makes it perfect for this type of discussion.
