Sapphire Dual-X R9 270 pair with Amd FX-6300

Solution


It's this guy. I also thought he meant Crossfired R9 270s.

[strike]It would still be a bottleneck though, because the GPU can consistently deliver higher frames than the 6300 can (in most games, judging by benchmarks I've seen).[/strike]

Hang on... I don't know what benchmarks I saw earlier, but I must have been looking at the wrong ones. (I have WAY too many windows with benchmarks on them open right now :p)

prudhvirazz is absolutely right. You will NOT see a bottleneck. Sorry for the confusion!

I have an AMD FX 6300 overclocked to 4.5GHz paired with two Radeon HD 7870 2GB cards. It seems to perform quite well at its intended task (Battlefield 4 mostly).

I'm sure that the CPU presents a slight bottleneck but I do not think it is as bad as some make it out to be. The system runs games very well.

Which just confirms my statement about significant overclock. :lol: At stock, I think the bottlenecking would be pretty bad with 2 cards.
