MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G Graphics card with a AMD CPU?

NotSoMrLegit · Dec 14, 2014

Hello, I have been looking for a new graphics card that is not to crazy and have come up with this GPU: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-970-GAMING-4G/dp/B00NN0GEXQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1418162565&sr=8-2&keywords=geforce+gtx+970+4gb

I do not know if my CPU: AMD A10-7850k APU will be able to run the 970? If the 970 can run with the 7850k will there be major bottlenecking? Also, I should also say that I have 8GB's of ram. Thanks!

if oyu overclock that cpu to around 4.5ghz then there will be no bottlenecks

make sure you have a good cpu cooler

The A10-7850k will bottleneck the 970. It is an APU and not meant to be paired with high end graphics card's. Upgrading to a new CPU like an i5 would be worth the investment.

The 7850k has 4 CPU cores so it is similar to a AMD Athlon x4 760k in terms of CPU power.

Will be fine

Make sure your PSU can carry the GPU (500Watt, 28 AMPs on the 12 volt rail)

it can handle the card if its overclocked properly

Really? 4 AMD CPU cores can handle a gtx 970?

gamer1357 :

yes it can.. if overclocked properly

Well I can understand in not so CPU intensive games, but in CPU intensive games it will bottleneck even if overclocked.

true.. online games will have an issue.. they usualy tend to be cpu intensive
