Would my FX 8350 OC 4.2GHz be enought to pair with a gtx 1080?

Just wondering if this set up would bottleneck my cpu. And if it does, would overclocking solve the problem? Or should I just get a new cpu?

Thanks!

I'd do it but would not expect i7 results from it

i7 4770 non k [no cpu overclocking involved ]

try the results like firestrike ultra [4k] and all as well and mix and match cards with your cpu or use other cpu's to compare to with

don't look all to bad to me with your cpu and a 1080 overall ??

Solution
to me even if you got a ''overkill'' card as they claim you got a card you can move up if you do a higher end build not then wishing you had got the 1080 in the first place

like my 980 ti all you see is that overkill for 1080p I don't seem to have any issue using it and if I were to ''move up '' in a monitor I still got the better card to do so not looking to rebuy another card ??

in the end all you can do is what YOU feel is best for YOU

good luck and enjoy
