No amd am3+ with pcie 3.0 x16 but theres alot of fm2+ motherboards,why?

It will bottleneck that's the point, and ZEN is not that far away - Q1 2017.

something like msi can only run the fans as low as 50% for case fans not low enough to make them inaudible

I usually just buy quieter fans,........

What will bottleneck?

 

[Recon-UK]

AMD FX will bottleneck the 1060.
However at 60hz it's not a huge deal.

I want to rum my noctuas at max 500 rpm and that is not good enought only to have 40-50 % as a minimum, just feel asus are very good for fans at low rpm without using low noise adapters

You do know it's possible to oc an fx (6300) and that a 1060 is about the same speed as a gtx 980?

An fx 6300 is not slower then a i5 2500k and that is okay when oced for at gtx 980 ti/1070, might be the bottleneck with a gtx 1080

Yes i do, and a 980 get's bottlenecked too.

FX-8350@4.7
GTX 970@1416/7312
GTX 980@1416/7312

What is your point about the video? None of the first games (not seen all of the video) is beeing bottlenecked by the cpu, the cpu is not utilized close to 100% so the cpu can delivere enough data to the gpu

Are you trying to say i should get a fx 8000?

 

[Recon-UK]

Something called GPU utilization.

Nevermind i can see this will end sour so i will just leave.

Best of luck with your FX.

 

[RealNeil]

If you want total control over your fans, why not buy a fan controller?
Anyways, I think that you have decided on an ASUS Mainboard. I hope that it works out for you.

The GPU is sitting between 77% and 98% utilization the CPU is sitting in the 60's you may have the bottleneck backwards... That's for both cards. It is pretty widely known the 970 power wise was way closer to the 980 than anyone expected. It wont be bottlenecked in any modern multithreaded game with a 1060.

Only replying to this dude since he's a known member.

Yes i am incredibly backwards.

i5 at 1080p.
FX at 900P.

Now that's my last post

What I said doesn't change in the original scenario you showed the GPU was showing to be the limiting factor. No one in here is arguing that AMD CPU's get higher framerates.

amazon.com, newegg.com for motherboards. I'm on a non Gen3 R2.0- Great Board. 2.0-3.0 is not that much of a jump in performance. Cards are only using as much bandwidth as they need, I have a feeling even cards 3-5 Gens down wont saturate a PCI E 3.0 Bus. If you're that worried about a PCI E 3.0 Board for AM3+ just get the Gen3 Sabertooth or wait until AMD Zen launches.
