Solution damric Apr 10, 2015 Limit the card, NO. You could run Unigine or 3DMark or just turn AA up and get 99% GPU usage. Choke on game engines, yes definitely. Most game engines do not play well with AMD FX CPUs and there will be dips in FPS, especially MMOs, RTS, ect.

I dont think you will, and if you do, you can minimize the bottleneck by overclocking your cpu to 4.5 ghz or higher with a better cooler. Hope this helps! Upvote 0 Downvote

damric Illustrious Sep 17, 2010 8,017 72 37,990 Apr 10, 2015 #6 For almost the same price as the i5-4690K which, being a Haswell doesn't have much headroom, you can get the 8 logical core Xeon E3-1231. Upvote 0 Downvote
