Will this bottleneck?

[TechFnatic]

Alright so I have an AMD fx-6300 CPU and a HIS Radeon 7770, both of which were apart of a budget build. I plan on getting a new GPU (most likely the R9 270x) but I'm wondering if the CPU will effect its ability to perform at its peak.

6300 and 270x are a perfect match.

I know a person that has that combo.

It should be fine

ignore, not knowlegeable enough.

It's fine it will start bottleneck when you reach the high end gpu though.

Same here,.. a match made in Heaven

Anything less will be fine.

Repeat, YOU WILL NOT bottleneck the 270x's GPU usage.

Even if your CPU does have problems with the game engine not properly doing the CPU threading/distribution,.. it's still capable of acceptable performance near 60fps and the 270x playing games at High-Ultra is a perfect match in that regard.

Thanks a lot guys, last thing I wanted was a nice gpu that couldn't reach its full potential

If you moved to the 280x, it can bottleneck on CERTAIN titles. (Usually the ones that focus all CPU tasks on 1-2 cores)

Usually GPU bound in most games so even this GPU is okay for the most part..

It's when your chasing 100FPS or higher you can run into issues... (Not respective of all games either, some don't , some do)

 

270X is a fine choice.

Yea luckily the 270x is within my budget, no way I can afford the 280x so i'm in the clear

The 270x is a HD 7870. I dont think it is a worthy upgrade

If I remember correctly, some of the rebrands got a tiny clock frequency boost as well. (Could be Core or Mem)

270x is also twice as fast as the 7770.

OFFTOPIC:

Im running i3 4160 and a 270x myself.

Gonna upgrade to i5 later this week if everything goes alright.

WTF... 

AMD's numbers surprise me once again...  Is the 7770 a 6xxx rebrand?

6770 was replacing the 5770, the 7770 replaced those, main difference,.. GCN architecture in the 7770 where the others don't I'm pretty sure.

Once drivers tuned into GCN,.. it came good.

Early days, it performed like shit.

+1 for Driver enhancements.
