[SOLVED] Will a AMD FX-6300 bottleneck 1 or 2 7870's?

[SpamBrie]

I want to know if it will bottleneck a single 7870 or 2 if later down the line I want to go crossfire.

I will play games such as GTA and Skyrim.

 

Or shall I just go for a FX-8320?

 

Thanks for your help!

I will be running at 1600x1200, a bit awkward I know.

hey im runnig a 1600x900 screen and i can max out skyrim but not gta4 because gta4 is a gpu and cpu hog so if u had a hd 7990 u can max out gta 4 but ur frames will stay near the near 50s

I'm running 6300 with 7870 xt gpu. No bottleneck here but for cfx,maybe there will be some bottleneck.

C'mon people, if i recall corectly, a 6300 is a so called hex core, so it won't bottleneck any card present except for dual gpus and titan, you need a very low end dual core to bottleneck a 7870 or two, i don't get why people are so scared of bn, it can get you 5 fps less in the worst case scenario...

Yeah,when i oc it,i got same performance as 7950 and this card is beast overclocker. I own sapphire version because powercolor version did not available in my country.

I think you should get it as 1gb already not enough for 1080p gaming.
