RX480 with 6300cpu Bottlenecking??

[Lustrality]

Hey folks im just curious as the amd RX480 comes out soon im wondering if the amd 6300 will bottleneck the rx480 not putting too much demand on cpu rather than playing WoW-Legion. so ya any info/points/brainstorming is COOL!

What GPU you currently got? Because WoW is very cpu dependant.

Probably. As it stands, with a 6300 you shouldn't use anything over an R9 280, or an R9 285/280X/GTX 960 at a stretch.

Short answer: Yes.

Please post in the proper sub-forum next time.

wow is not very cpu dependant, but thanks bud this much i know lol and im running a 650ti boost from asus 2gb version amd 6300 OC'd at 4.6ghz with evo 212

wont be upgrading cpu until zen is released.

most of the moba type games like that are more CPU than GPU intensive, but it still might bottleneck at that level.

ya sorry goldygamer23  thanks for moving it:D

i truely didnt know wow was a MOBA! lol sarcasm at its finest. Someone with a true answer please respond lol

All MMOs are CPU intensive, until dx12 MMOs becomes a thing. If you want better performance in WoW, get an i5 6500 + h110 motherboard.

will never go intel! dont even recommend it.

umm he said he will be upgrading to ZEN,

Look OP, you asked if your CPU will bottleneck a 480, it will bottleneck it, just not massively. your CPU is waaay good enough to be playing those games and there won't be much issue

Then don't bother asking for recommendations, because moving to Intel is the only thing you can do to improve performance. The RX 480, if performance claims are true, will bottleneck. No amount of cores or overclocking will help you unless you move to Intel, or wait for Zen to launch (again, if performance claims are true).

Didn't notice that. My bad.

alright thanks flying sloth so now my next question to you is, as i have been an nvidia fanboy for many years would it be best to pick up a 950/60 or wait for the rx450/60/70???? or get the RX480 or wait for Vega to launch?? remember this will be with a ZEN cpu/apu in the end so ya thoughts:p

[Lustrality]

suika never asked for recomendations on INTEL! only amd! thanks though bud

RX 480 benchmarks so far show that it should be able to beat the 950/60. I must stress that these are not confirmed, aside from that, a secondhand 960 will cost you more than a new 480.

I am going to be getting a 480 and a zen spu when they come to AUS

[Lustrality]

thanks sloth much appreaciated but i know it will cost me more to buy the 950/60 but im thinking since wow isnt that gpu intensive and i wont be using VR the 950/60 maxwell arch runs really well on my buddies custom build so for a run-a-round mickeymouse thingy  would the compared to what im using now "asus 650ti boost 2gb" to a 950/rx480 would be a hell of an increase no matter what but ya 950 is really all i would need?

I would still go with the 480, newer architecture means better support and the 480 will be future-proofing your system somewhat also. Historically AMD runs hotter than Nvidia or Intel but with custom coolers and efficient cards like the 480 I doubt that is still a problem. If a 480 is cheaper and better I see no reason not to get it.

Also, if you ever decide to start playing FPS games you will immediately notice the fps difference between the cards.

I have always been an AMD cpu NVidia graphics guy  but until ZEN I really think AMD graphics and intel CPU is what needs to be done.

That being said, ZEN should beat the pants off Intel in price/performance and I can't wait to upgrade to it

[Lustrality]

ya my current setup i see no fps problems its just rather i need to arch for my gpu and ya like ya said cant wait for zens price performance over intel:D
