CPU Bottleneck?

[ltnmzh]

You're best off upgrading away from AMD.
Phenom II 965 would be better but not massively, and the FX8 wouldn't change much.

4.6GHZ is a pretty high clock, I'm surprised to see that level of bottlenecking.

my fps isnt too bad, i can play batman on high detal, no physx, low fxaa, and everything but dx11 on. but im just allitle dissapointed that i payd for this card and i cant use it to the full. will try a bit more of an overclock, then start saving up for 2500k.

Last question, dose anyone know the safe voltage for an bulldozer, and does anyone have any suggestions how far over this i can go, Thanks for the replies too

I'm sure I've said this.
You're about at the limit clock wise.
Max I'd go for is about 1.475v for 24/7.

And considering Bulldozer's low IPC, I don't think even going from 4.6GHz to 4.8GHz would make much of a difference.

Thanks for the replies. Yea so im not running dx 11 in batman, plus i know the bulldozers are pretty awful.
Its overclocked to 4.6 GHz and i kinda want to go higher cos temps arnt that bad but its already at 1.38 v and thats kinda the safe limit isnt it?
also would a Phenom II X4 965 or fx 8100 give me better results?

At that clockspeed you are around Core i3 2100 level performance,or Phenom II X4 980BE level performance:

The card used was an HD7970.
