AMD FX-8370 @5ghz With gtx 1070ti?

[Bobik2002]

Hello i have guestion would my processor be braking system with graphics gtx 1070ti?

this month I'd like to buy her I crawled a forum and somewhere writing yes and somewhere no. So I do not know where the truth is. If there's a good guy here who likes to help :)

Save for a totally new system. FX processors wont hold a candle these days.

Ok thank you for replying so the first better processor and then better graphics?

Yes.

DCS is currently still primarily CPU focused, so CPU first.

 

I'm in process of swapping from an FX-8350 to a Ryzen 2 2700x, so I'll warn you that RAM prices at the moment are extremely high.

Thank you very much I noticed you the ram :(

[Bobik2002]

I will have around 580 euros what would you recommend me a ram processor board.

My hw now: Fx8370 Nvidia gtx 1060 6gb ssd 240 ram 24gb 1866

I tried dcs 2.5 with Ryzen 3, 8 gig ram and hd7700 gpu and it was fine on med details.

Nice! Maybe i will buy ryzen 7 2700x.

Not so sure about this anymore. When I changed from a 2500K to a Ryzen R7 I only say a 14% improvement when using the same card (a GTX 970). Changing to a 1080Ti there was a whopping 68% jump performance jump, but I also know my 2500K wouldnt feed that monster fast enough. With the R7 I noted a 43% CPU usage over crowded cities which means its taxing the equivalent of 7 full logical cores.

 

The take away from this is, as long as you have enough threads on any modern CPU, the bottleneck shifts all the way to the GPU side. if you have this, then all you need is a better GPU to get better performance (i.e. changing the CPu at this time will get you rapidly diminishing benefits). The game is now using Vulkan which might explain my observations.

 

The game right as is, needs at least a I7 7700K, or 8700K optimal. Older CPU's like the 6800K or 6900K should be more than adequate. On AMD side, needs a 2600X or better in order to fully max the GPU. And I dont think we are going to stop at 7 threads, hence why I went with the 2700X (could not afford a intel 8 core chip, not that Skylake-X was any faster for gaming, the 8 core I9 9900K might be).

Ok, I think about it

[SkateZilla]

FX (Piledriver), at 5+ GHz -> Stock Ryzen I or II, wont really do anything in terms of IPC.

 

The Biggest Difference you will see is no longer drawing 200+w at Peak Core Loading.

My Dad is using a heavily overclocked FX 83something with a 1060 and it does ok

I would say that's about as high as you would go in GPU with that CPU and be able to push that GPU card / sim to it's max, any better card and the cpu wont be able to feed it properly to use full utilization constantly.

[Bobik2002]

But to improve processor will definitely worth?

[Pilotasso]

yes, in your case you it's worth having a new CPU along with that 1070Ti.

If you had any of the processors I mentioned above you only needed a better graphics card.

Ok thank you!
