CPU for Radeon 270x

[Higen_]

Hey what would be a good CPU for an AMD Radeon 270x graphics card?

 

Thanks

[Bluejay0]

i5 K SKUs

 

6300

 

8320/50

[TheRuke]

A AMD Hex-core I guess

[CoolBeans]

6300, if you can afford a 8320 then get a 280x, a 7870GHZ is usually cheaper, get that

[WoodenMarker]

Anything 750K/760K and up.

[Skeletonfish]

FX- 8350/8320 like Bluejay0 siad.

[orangecat]

Anything 2-4 cores and 3Ghz+.

Well if you want it to be cheap

I think this would work well. An AMD Athlon 760K. From what I read, it's the AMD 6800k APU without the integrated graphics.

 

 

Other than that. If you can find a sandybridge i5 for really cheap. A 2500k. If not get a AMD 8320 or a Intel Core i5 5470.

Exactly what it is, I got one in yesterday, overclocks like a dream as well. IF YOU GET IT THOUGH, GET AN AFTERMARKET COOLER. The stock cooler is garbage.

The AMD FX-8320 is a seriously an awesome CPU for the price.

we are past the days of dual cores. 4 cores or higher is a reasonable minimum

Thanks guys, you're all awesome

Not really 2 core cpus are just fine. not everyone wants to spend 250$ on a quad core.

ur naive if u think you need to spend that much money. a 750k from amd runs about $80 and is a really good chip especially for the money.and obv its a quad core.

u can get an 8 core 8320 for $150 as well

AMD is going to abandon their high end CPUs soon so Intel will be the only option for great CPUs and they are expensive my 3570K was 200 or so when i bought it and the i7 was nearly 300.

What are you currently looking at getting ?

The sweet spot would be an overclocked FX 6300 with a decent CPU cooler, an FX 8320 is even that much better, anything over the FX 8320 and you start hitting the law of diminishing returns quite hard, especially once you get into the quad core Intel chips which are unnecessarily expensive.

An FX 6300 at stock will give you 2500K performance in BF4 multiplayer which is very CPU intensive, overclock it and you will surpass i5 4670K performance.

yea they are but a 750k isnt their high end and performs quite well. even their APUS are better than i3's so u really should never get a dual core.
