GPU Bottle neck?

jake021396 · Sep 12, 2015

So just ordered a new Graphics card and was wondering if i would see huge performance increase on my current setup. I'm worried about bottlenecking from my current APU and hoping you all can clear some questions.

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Super Clocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5

GTX 970 SC

Current Setup:
CPU: AMD A10-7850k
GPU: GTX 750 Ti SC 2GB
MB: ASRock FM2A55M-HD+
RAM: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3
PSU: Corsair CX600

You need at least an OCed 6300 on the AMD side to run a 970 bottleneck free.
So you will have a bottleneck issue, the 970 bottlenecked will however still be better than your 750Ti until you can get a better processor.

Will it be noticeably better?
Also what do you think is the best processor and mobo to run with the 970 without burning a hole in my pocket?

It will be better easily, as for the processor you can look at a 4590 or 4460 with an H97 board, or a 6300 on a quality 970 or 990 board with a good cooler.

Are these the ones you are talking about? Sorry with all the other questions. Just makes things a lot easier when it comes from someone who has had experience.

Also when you say good cooler do you mean water cooling or just something like a cooler master and a few fans on the computer? I ordered a cooler master today for my current CPU and have about 5 fans in my current case.

Correct processor, here is a great board:

As for the cooler, something like the 212 EVO should be plenty.

Awesome. Thanks for all your help. Most likely gonna go ahead and order all this. So its all compatible with each other and will fit in my case? Forgot to ask about case earlier.

jake021396 · Sep 12, 2015

Case: Sentey® Gaming Computer Case GS-6011

That is my case.

Gam3r01 · Sep 12, 2015

You never mentioned a case lol, but the motherboard listed is an mATX motherboard, the new bard is ATX.
EDIT: That case supports ATX boards, motherboard will fit.

jake021396 · Sep 12, 2015

Yeah sorry completely forgot to mention it. Say's it fits ATX and m-ATX so both of them should be good im guessing.
