I was an AMD shill until I swapped my old 'mid-range' GPU for a better one. I gave the older one to my brother who paired it with an ivybridge i3 and he was getting 10-15 more fps than I did with the same GPU.
So trust me, if my FX6300 overclocked to 4.5GHz was bottlenecking a graphics card that is probably 20% less powerful than a GTX 970 then you can guarantee your piece of shit APU is throttling the fuck out of your system.

Hating AMD for Bulldozer chips is like hating Intel for Pentium 4. Yes it was shit, but they've released better chips since.

>>60169593
as someone who has used the A10 and gtx 970 together before, even that won't help you.

>hating a processor for 2012 is like hating a processor from 2000
ok

>>60169687
Ryzen has been out for a month, it's hardly the same

>>60169593
you failed son, never go intel cpu + amd gpu or amd cpu + nvidia gpu


that being said, a decent upgrade would be a ryzen 5 1500x + a rx580.

>>60169687
>p4 was shit

wut

>>60169593
>970

enjoy your legacy card faggot

>>60169593
Should still be over 40fps in most AAA games

>>60170139
P4 was crap, it's why they dropped it and focused entirely on core 2 duo stuff

>>60170136
>you failed son, never go intel cpu + amd gpu or amd cpu + nvidia gpu
retarded

I'd go for a 6 core/12 thread chip minimum

>>60170136

lol wtf is this meme

It is, I'm on a 5800k w/ a rx 580 right now (bought a 1600, just waiting on the rest of the build) clocked at 4.4 across all cores and it does fine. Learn how to overclock your cpu feggit.

>>60169593
Of course it is even my [email protected] was bottlenecking my GTX970.

>>60169593
Your path is now
Ryzen(midrange I assume) vs Babby Lake
I'd advice against Ryzen since nVidia seems to be holding it back on purpose. But then again babby lake is twice as expensive and still bursts into flames

>>60169593
Your 970 is bottlenecking your 970. Toss it and get a 1070, you'll be doing yourself a huge favor.
THEN ask us if it's bottlenecking.

>>60170760
970 is still a perfectly fine card for 1080p gaming desu

P4 IPC and perf/watt were literally worse than P3 but Intel tricked customers with higher frequencies, new ram, new instruction sets etc

>>60169593
No

>>60169593
there is no meaningful upgrades, you're going to have to optimize game settings for your bottleneck
turn down shadows, decals, lighting, reflection and water effects.

970 at 1080p here. Bullshit, Everything running smoothly without ticking into the last 0.5Gb. But hey, it was thanks to idiots like you thinking the card is worthless that I snatched mine 1 year ago for 200€ when it was still selling new for 350€

So by your response those who uses fx series must upgrade now so amd can unleash its true capability huh ?

This is like a more retarded intel shill reply.

>>60169687
My 8350 actually performs pretty well
