Nvidia Gtx 970 and AMD A-10 5800K?

Jair885 · Dec 8, 2014

Hi guys.
Would this bottleneck? I think so..
So how bad would the bottleneck be? beacuse after i buy the 970 maybe i would be able to buy a better processador, so would I be able to run on games on ultra on 60 fps with the 5800k and the 970? Please. Thanks.

yep, that will bottleneck. how bad? you will probably get like 70 to 80 fps on CS GO where you should be getting 300+

Jair885 :

Why not just buy an AMD card. Mantle would remove any bottleneck you are getting cpu wise (on mantle games, which are quite a lot). The 290x is on par with the 970 and at around the same price.

not every game supports mantle and noone knows if alot more games will in the future.

There will be a bottleneck but you still can play on high settings until you buy a new cpu

tsuneo6 :

I said that in my post. Future support is already guaranteed though. EA, Crytek, and other major studios have it integrated into their dev kits.

This mean you can expect many mantle games.

There isn't a fm2/fm2+ chip that will run a gtx 970 at peak performance IMO.
Even a fx 6300/8320 at 4ghz+ will handicap a gtx 970 slightly.

You'd honestly be better looking at a r9 280/280x for the best pairing for money.

thx for the answers. I want a nvidia card beacuse i like physics and beacuse almost every game has support for nvidia. I would probably get an i7 (i dont know wich one yet) but that will be later. I just want to know i would be able to play Tomb rider, bf4, crysis 3, far cry 4, assasins creed unity on high or ultra at 60fps so i can play while i get the money fot the new cpu.

thor220 :

oh! I did not know that.
tnx for the heads up

tsuneo6 · Dec 8, 2014

no need to get an i7 CPU. an i5 4690k is more then sufficient for ultra gaming.
the extra threads fromt he i7 only kick in when you are going to multitask-->stream your games
it'll also make a difference if you are into 3D modelling and video editing

madmatt30 · Dec 8, 2014

If you have plans to upgrade in the future then just buy one mate.
Ultra on unity & farcry 4 at 60fps though!! - not a chance I'm afraid - on tomb raider,bf4 & older titles,yes without a doubt.

Jair885 · Dec 8, 2014

Yeah but maybe i will be making a game on Unity so i dunno maybe i would get an i7, but the i5 also got my attention. So would i be able to run newly games on ultra 60+ fps?

iron8orn · Dec 8, 2014

A i7 is recommended for unity and from what I have seen it is no joke

edit- or 8350.. kinda confusing requirements

madmatt30 · Dec 8, 2014

I can run unity at 50fps frame locked on a gtx 970 & a fx6300 at 4ghz - its no joke though ,its badly optimised & runs the gpu at 99% constantly (even in cut scenes) - never seen a game work the gpu like this - in comparison advanced warfare & farcry 4 only pull about 80% gou usage max.
Unity really is an unoptimised mess IMO.

madmatt30 :

Yeah and I guess fc4 like wont even play on amd gpu's

madmatt30 · Dec 8, 2014

^ farcry 4 is far better optimised to be fair - it has all its own bugs with the black screen & USB issues.
The game engine is good though - its entirely playable at high on a 280x.
I have 2 builds - a 8320 (4.2ghz ) with a 280x
& a 6300(4ghz) with a gtx 970
I know a GPU swap would make sense but the 6300 is in a matx htpc lounge set up & the 970 is in there due to its lower temps & power draw.
Stuff gets tested on both though.
Ubisoft PC ports in general are can absolute f***n mess though - wanted the crew but I'm not buying it - they can't even sort out the black screen issue on farcry 4 - I can't play it with a wireless 360 controller connected as it justvblack screens constantly.

iron8orn · Dec 8, 2014

jeeze.. it is like ubisoft does not even care.

have you tried the tom clancy games?

Jair885 · Dec 9, 2014

Lol I was talking about the game engine "Unity" not Assasisns creed: Unity.

Nvidia Gtx 970 and AMD A-10 5800K?
