--- Quote from: -Fate- on December 05, 2015, 04:35:33 AM ---So for Christmas im getting one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487154&cm_re=gtx_960-_-14-487-154-_-Product to upgrade my pc and I want to know if the AMD A6-6420K will be capable of going along side it --- End quote --- For a GTX 960 I would highly recommend getting atleast a quadcore to decrease bottlenecking to its minimum. AMD CPU's arent that expensive anyway. I don't know why you would get a dual core AMD if you can get a quadcore for a couple of dollars more. (unless its prebuild its not really your mistake) If you are getting the GX 960 I would suggest AMD Athlon X4 860K Or get a new motherboard and an intel CPU if you are going to use the GTX 960 for gaming. Can you also post what mb you have? |

Also forget the CPU I suggested, its stuff. Wait nevermind, I think yours will do fine. --- Quote from: -Fate- on December 05, 2015, 10:49:55 AM ---What do you mean mb --- End quote --- Motherboard. |

no he will bottleneck the hell out of the 970 i already have a really bad bottleneck because of my pentium dual core, i could only imagine how bad it would be on a loving AMD processor --- Quote from: ZERØ on December 05, 2015, 03:38:08 AM ---Guys I just recently started getting random BSOD's again, its the MEMMORY_MANAGEMENT error, I have a feeling its my ram, It gave me the same thing 5 months ago, but I fixed it back then by taking it out and cleaning the contacts and then I switched it to the other slot. Its a 4GB stick of Corsair Vengeance running at 1600mhz, I know its little and I'm due for an upgrade but I really want to make this stick last, I hope it the "fix" works again, also does anybody know why cleaning the contacts and switching slots temporarily fixes this? It doesn't make any sense to me, but it works somehow. Also no Its not an unstable overclock, My AMD A8 (Trinity) is at a stable 3.9 GHz, incase you where wondering, it starts getting unstable at 4.0 and 4.2 is a crash whenever starting up anything. My plan for ram is to buy a 16gb (DDR3 8GBs x2 Set) dual channel kit at 2400mhz, since AMD APU's general like faster ram in general, going with Corsair Ram again, but I don't know whether to go with a Vengeance Pro Kit or a Dominator Platinum kit. If you have any suggestions for ram then go ahead, I'm looking for anything to match my Black mobo in white case build. --- End quote --- run memetest86 and it will tell you whats wrong, if anything is wrong. --- Quote from: Oasis on December 05, 2015, 02:21:27 AM ---Apparently I'm in the market for a mechanical keyboard. Leaning towards the K70, but go ahead and recommend some stuff. --- End quote --- http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/ |

Anyways his CPU for some reasons gets allot more rating on various site than most other AMD CPU's with even more cores. If I were to suggest you CPU's to minimize bottlenecking get for AMD: AMD FX 6300 (Hexacore 3.5Ghz (4.1Ghz overclocked)) AMD Athlon X4 860K (Quadcore 3.7Ghz) AMD FX-4350 (Quadcore 4.2 Ghz) Intel: Intel Core i5-4590 (quadcore 3.3 Ghz) (Going to buy this allongside my GTX 960 tho. Intel Core i5-4460 (Quadcore 3.2Ghz, if you want to save some money and not get the 4590). If you opened them all and are looking at the prices and you like "Bruh, AMD has more cores, clockrate and is allot cheaper" The big difference between intel and AMD is that intel has a much better single-core peformance. Wich is really good in games actually since they most game only use 1 or 2 cores. Some 4. Depends on the game really. AMD is good for multitasking with programs like photoshop and stuff. Keep in mind if you are going to buy an intel CPU you also want to buy a new motherboard since you probably have one that only supports AMD chipsets. Can you also post your PC specs? |
