FX-8350 @4,5gHz & GTX 970 Gameplay of 7 games with hardware monitor and FPS counter

Описание

Question that people often ask: Does a FX-8350 bottleneck a GTX 970?
Watch its performance in 7 games to find out.

I overclocked my GTX970 only slightly to get better performance but not too far to make the results as reliable as possible.
In the GPU row in hardware monitor there's: Temperature, GPU Load, Fan Speed, and core clock, below VRAM Frequency and usage.

There are a few stutters of gameplay in here, but they're due to me editing and compressing the video poorly, I'm not familiar with this stuff so be considerate, this video was made because of a request from a few users at LinusTechTips.com.
Software used: For FPS & hardware counter - MSI Afterburner & RTSS. For recording of the video itself, Nvidia ShadowPlay.
The recording itself could take a few frames per second, but it doesn't matter.
