Will this combination cause any kinds of bottlenecking when playing games in ultra settings?

Im quite interested in using a:

AMD FX-6350 CPU with a MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB Twin Frozr GPU.

Tell me what you think? (:

CPU and GPU are two separate things and will indeed be compatible. I'm an Intel user myself, so can't really tell you how well the AMD will run for you.

If you want more details of how well stuff will run, we would need to have more details through.

  • What resolution do you intent to play on? I play on a triple screen setup, so a single 760 isn't enough for me. If you however only have 1 screen at 1920x1080 it will run fine.
  • How much memory (RAM) will you put in the system. Minimum would be 4, my recommended is 8GB.
  • Also, what type of games do you want to run at Ultra. The more basic (indie) games are often less heavy than the for example the coming battlefield 4.

Single monitor, at 1920x1080.
8GB of ram.
And games I would like to run on ultra include: Battlefield 3, Crysis 1/2 MAYBE 3.

Obviously, yes. and it won't bottleneck.

Thanks, im kinda a noob when it comes to PC builds as this will be my first build.
The MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozr is apparently quieter and has the same performance as the AMD Radeon 7950, which I was going to originally going to buy. But I was told that the 7950 would bottleneck with the cpu I chose. ^^^

7950 is better than 760 but cost more, and it won't bottleneck with this CPU too.

By better, do you mean fps wise or?

7950 does more fps yes, and has 3Gb of vRAM, more cuda cores, 384-bit interface.

Cuda cores, in AMD gpu?

who cares about the name of that, Stream Processors then, they do the same thing.

Then who cares if it's 760 or 7950, they do the same thing.

It can't be better, that card updates the 660 ti, that wasn't better than 7950, 760 is better than 660 ti a little, but not as much to beat 7950, there is a lot of youtube benchmarks, maybe in some games optimized for Nvidia it can beat it I don't know, but is always about 10 fps less.

ps: your link is not working.

If the CPU bottlenecks the the 7950 but does not bottleneck the 760 then the 7950 would be faster, no?

CPU rarely becomes the bottleneck, GPU or memory are more likely. Anything less than 4GB RAM will be a hinderance for your system and games, but over 8GB you won't see much improvements, unless you do lots of editing and stuff.

Those are two different components for different things, so yes they'll work together.

It won't be a problem, but you should better pick an AMD card :P

I think so too. New consoles are rocking AMD cards, so it could be a better choice for the future with better optimisation for PC ports with the same hardware.

I was mostly suggesting it because the better price-performance ratio, but that's a good point too

Why? A 6 core AMD is more than enough for anything... no need for an I7 for double price(or more) ...

Okay, then you can go and buy Intel, I don't really care.. but it's just not worth it in my opinion if you're not using it for 1080p video rendering while you're playing 2 games at the same time...

Can i use an AMD GPU, Intel CPU, Samsung RAM, Creative soundblaster-card, Razer mouse, Logitech keyboard, MSI motherboard all together or will my system explode? o.O

That's just a silly rumor. What they do is they crawl under your skin and make their way into your brain. True story.

There's nothing wrong with it , but better get a 7970 or 7950 is the first one is not in the same price range. The 7970 is a lot better.

you suggested him a CPU that cost about 80% more, good.....if he buy the FX 6350 this means he doesn't have enough money for more.

Spending cash on the cheaper FX-6350 may make him happy for a few months,but in the long run he will notice the abysmal performance in CPU heavy games.Thats the time when regret kicks in

yes, but you need to buy a more expensive video card than CPU on gaming PC if your budget is not big.

Of course not. The GPU and the CPU are two different components use whatever CPU and GPU you want, and you won't encounter any problems. For me, my GPU is AMD, and my CPU is Intel.

Heavy CPU games will bottleneck your card... I got an i7 2600k + GTX 660 Ti, and my cpu bottlenecks my card on Planetside 2 for example..

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Planetside 2 is a bad example.

The best thing everyone should do, is to go and look at unvirtualized benchmarks that the only things they change is the CPU, what people will notice is that the CPU matters very little in gaming , but that doesn't mean u should use a 2 ghz dual core , what I mean is that from a FX 6350 and a 4770k even , the differences won't be that big, maybe 5-10 FPS.
