Best gpu for fx8350

[4ce_Games]

I may be getting a pc soon with an fx 8350 and a gtx 660. I am wanting to upgrade the GPU, what is the best GPU I could get without bottlenecking?

I am sorry to say this, but please upgrade the CPU. You could get something like a 560 that would not bottleneck and help, but this CPU is pretty meh for todays games. Try to sell it +mobo +ram and get a cheap Ryzen.

bottlenecking can be diffrent from game to game, but a rx 480/570 would be a really nice fit for that build, tho a cpu upgrade could be really good. I would go for a 570, cuz they are a bit faster, way better heatsink so they dont overheat, better fans so they doenst make much noise, AND they are generally newer and better. They can be found pretty cheap on the used market, for around 90-120$. go for a 8gb version if your budget allow it, just for future proofing ur gpu.

yeh, when upgrading the GPU make sure to get the 8gig version! But as we said... CPU upgrade much advised... get a Ryzen 2600

A ryzen 2600 is really good, tho a 1600 is good too, and both of them are cheap too! A ryzen 3 2200g cost around 100$ when it was first released, now a 1600/2600 can sometimes be found for that price, new/used, and they got +2 more cores, +8 more threads. Im planning on buying either one of those (1600/2600), as i dont have money for it right now, and i will get like 120$/month from my school.

Upgrading the CPU isn't really an option at the moment, because I would need a new mobo and ram. If I could I would.

Ok, i see. Do you have good cooling for the CPU and a decent Mobo? OCing this CPU will turn in to a Reactor, but this can help to not to much trottle the GPU

I am not sure as I am getting this from my uncle, but knowing him, yes it would have good cooling and mobo.

okok, then OC that thing like hell and get yourself a 570 8G (or a 480 8g, basically the same perf but you might be able to shoot a 480 8G for cheaper)
