another instance . wtf is going on with imgur ? i clicked the link and got a half page ad saying i had to get the ap if i wanted to see the content . do i have a fucking virus on my ipad ? <| sep |> I really think something must be up with your system . I built this system recently and did a good bit of research between 6500 and 6600 to see what I was really getting for the $ 50 or so extra . All I found was that the performance difference in gaming was minimal . I just wanted to be able to OC . I ' ve never heard of a GPU of the same gen as the CPU being bottlenecked by that CPU . I mean my Phenom II was bottlenecking my R 9 270 X but they ' re 5 years apart and even then the GPU was still the bottleneck in almost every other game including BF 4 . Planetside 2 was the exception . Anyway that ' s very wordy but maybe just double check things . Could it be memory ? Are other users reporting the same performance ?
