Will M5A 78L-M LX3 support Zotac GTX 1060 AMP without bottleneck?

andreasdev · Nov 26, 2017

So my current PC specs are :

Nvidia GTX 750Ti
AMD FX-6300
8GB HyperX RAM
Motherboard ASUS M5A 78L-M LX3
1TB HDD

Im upgrading my GPU to Zotac GTX 1060 3GB AMP Edition.
So will this upgrade create bottleneck or am i good?
As well if it does,can i get in short explanation what will happen exactly with in game performance?
Or if it doesnt will it boost in game performance drastically? (Take battlefield 1 for example)

On current specs BF1 is running on medium settings with 30fps + frame drops here and there.
I just need to be sure that this upgrade will improve it.

Your motherboard will support the 1060. It will improve battefield 1 performance, but your CPU will continue to be a bottleneck.
Note: the gtx 1060 requires a minimum of a 400watt PSU with a 6pin power connector. Check your PSU before you get the graphics card.

Thanks! Is this bottleneck between 6300 and new 1060 big deal? I hope its not huge bottleneck.

The fx6300 is just a very slow CPU. Games which don't rely on the CPU will be fine. Some games will be slower such as Civ6 and GTA V, not sure abouty BF1.

Thanks,a lot! I would like to ask one more question though.
Would you suggest to me to upgrade CPU or GPU first? As i did research a little bit and i find plenty of games that are CPU "based".
I really love playing games on High Settings (I even had 1050 Ti on this PC and i really couldn't notice bottleneck problems at all.) but as well with good performance (50-60 FPS).

For just gaming? The GPU first.
For mixed use including some gaming? The CPU first.

Some games are more CPU-intensive and BF1 is one of those but all that aside frame rates depend on the resolution you play at as well.

With that CPU and a GTX 1060 (6GB is better in terms of future games probably needing more graphics memory) at full HD 1080p you can probably expect around an average of 60 (60-80 give or take) FPS at high graphics presets (maybe even ultra).

That brings your display into equations too. Since if it's a 60Hz; that number 60 is the maximum effective frames per seconds you can see.
