So I upgraded to a 980 a few months ago, and while I've seen a massive performance increase in games, there are a few that just aren't performing that well. Games like ESO, Tomb Raider, Arma (Than again when has that ever performed well amirite?) and a ton of other CPU heavy games just aren't running that great, while in games like Battlefront I can pull 60+ FPS at ultra with 140% Resolution scaling.
I've read an overwhelming amount of opinions that say the 8320 will bottleneck the 980 in certain CPU heavy games, but I'm wondering if my CPU could also be a little heat damaged. I moved to Houston about a year ago and my CPU idles at 62C, peaks around 79C when I play. Thanks to AMD's amazing stock heatsink I've never been able to get a proper heatsink or waterblock because the stock heatsink is stuck on my Mobo, an issue I've read many other people have had.
So what do you guys think, 8320 just bottlenecking my 980, or heatdamage, or both?
*edit* Also I forgot to mention I don't have very much money at all, so I've never really been able to fix the CPU problem, but I am working on it
