Will FX8350E Bottleneck my Palit GeForce GTX 1060 Super JetStream 6GB GDDR5
- Thread starter Real_4
- Start date
coz the games i be playing are like Rust Ark Survival Dazy Arma 3 No mans sky All battlefield call of dutys etc coz i dont like intel they are good for just a single core but who plays single core games these days ?
most new games demand 4 cores+

Then buy a 4 core skylake.
Best you look for benchmark comparisons for YOUR games.
Here is one older series that includes some of your games:

A I3-6100 will usually do very well as a mid range gamer
Here are some tests for that:

The FX chip should be fine. It provides identical performance in BF4 to both Ivy Bridge & Haswell i5/i7 chips (http://www.techspot.com/review/734-battlefield-4-benchmarks/page6.html), & close to the same performance (within 5-10%) in Arma 3 (http://www.techspot.com/review/712-arma-3-benchmarks/page5.html).
well why don't you first get the 1060 and see how that feels then decide if you want to upgrade to the FX8350E. Though a lot of people worry about cpu bottleneck but even if you moved to 1070 with your current 6100 it would still improve FPS just may not be full potential as a newer intel build (at least for games that are gpu bound).

Here are some tests you can do to help decide:
------------------------------------------------------------
To help clarify your CPU/GPU options, run these two tests:
a) Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.
b) Limit your cpu, either by reducing the OC, or, in windows power management, limit the maximum cpu% to something like 70%.
Go to control panel/power options/change plan settings/change advanced power settings/processor power management/maximum processor state/
This will simulate what a lack of cpu power will do.
Conversely what a 30% improvement in core speed might do.
You should also experiment with removing one core. You can do this in the windows msconfig boot advanced options option.
You will need to reboot for the change to take effect. Set the number of processors to less than you have.
This will tell you how sensitive your games are to the benefits of many cores.
If your FPS drops significantly, it is an indicator that your cpu is the limiting factor, and a cpu upgrade is in order.
It is possible that both tests are positive, indicating that you have a well balanced system,
and both cpu and gpu need to be upgraded to get better gaming FPS.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Individual core speed of FX-8320 will be similar; you just get two more.
If your games are not well threaded, expect no improvement.
And... just because you see task manager show activity on all threads, and less than 100% usage, that does not mean you are using them well.
It is just windows spreading out the activity of a few threads.
If you decide graphics, GTX1060 is just two tiers higher than a GTX770.
You may be disappointed if you do not see big results.
Still, GTX1060 is about right for 1080P fast action games.

If your budget permits, a I5-6600K with a modest overclock it the best there is for gaming today. It is the equal of a i7-6700K. Most will give you a 30% overclock.
That said, I would try first to find out if you need cpu or gpu for your games.
well no difference at 6 cores or 4 cores same fps but when iv used my palit gtx 660 2gb i had higher fps on 1080 i had settings mixed ultra with very high and had stable 67 fps on wasteland but with this gtx 770 OC 2gb i had 24 max

No difference between 4 and 6 cores is what I expected.
It says the games you tested could not use more than 4 cores effectively.
Do you dare try 3 cores??
GTX660 and GTX770 are not all that different in capability with GTX770 being a bit stronger.
It does not make sense to me that your results should be that different, particularly why the stronger card should perform worse.
