Phenom II X6 1055T OC throttling GPU

OptimusPrimate · Jul 16, 2016

Currently have an ASUS M4A88T-M with an AMD Phenom II X6 overclocked to around 3.3GHz; considering upgrading my GPU to a Nvidia GeForce GTX 970.

Would the CPU throttle GPU and overall gaming performance with this combination of components?

Throttle? No. But it can hold the gpu back from achieving it's full performance. How much is going to depend on the game and the settings used.

How about something like GTA V or Fallout 4?

Those will likely be the worst as both are cpu heavy games. Your fps would probably be limited to 30-40 fps even though the gpu is capable of more.

Ah I see. Could you recommend any AM3 CPU upgrades that are supported by the M4A88T-M that may solve the problem or am I looking at new CPU and MB too?

Best coarse of action is a new cpu, motherboard and possibly ram.
