Posted March 10, 2017 The main question that I need answered, is do you guys think that either of these CPUS will be a bottle neck for a rx 480? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't get an FX6300. Want to know which mobo to get? Spoiler Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need. Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you. chEcK iNsidE sPoilEr fOr a tREat!

Posted March 10, 2017 It will vary from one game to another. But yeah generally the RX 480 is a bit more powerful than what these CPUs will (on average) handle. You could wait a couple months for Zen's quad core CPUs to release. They will likely be priced similarly to i3 but will be 4/4 or 4/8 (cores/threads)... basically i5/i7 for the price of i3. Otherwise the i3 would do you better than the FX-6300 if you need something now. The current i3s are exceptionally fast today (each core is like 70% faster than each FX core), and you can upgrade to a much better CPU without having to change the motherboard. With the FX-6300, there's not really anything worth upgrading to on the same platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 10, 2017 I'm right now running a reference GTX 970 on a OC'd FX-6300. The RX 480 isn't that much better than it. If I'm experiencing a bottleneck I sure as hell can't tell. Of course though it all depends on what titles you're running and at what resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to note is that AMD's video card drivers aren't as low-overhead as Nvidia's, at least in DX11 - so an AMD card will be bottlenecked by CPU sooner than a similarly-performing Nvidia card.
