Hey, I've just seen the new gtx 970 launch today and I'm pumped, I need a upgrade for my gpu because my r9 270 is running out of steam in some of the latest games at ultra settings (it's still a great card) however I have a fx 6300 in my system and I was wanting to know if they would pair up good and if the CPU would bottleneck the gpu? I have two ideas, to upgrade my gpu by selling my r9 270 and going for the 970 or sell my system and rebuild from scratch (including an upgrade in CPU which doesn't seem like a good option)
Here's my system specs
Fx 6300 w/ Coolermaster 212 EVO
Gigabyte 990fxa ud3
2x4gb ddr3 RAM
600w psu
Seagate hybrid drive 1TB

well Fx 6300 is not considered as a powerful cpu and your already gonna get strong VGA . so why don't you just go for strong intel CPU ? that CPU might bottleneck ( WILL bottleneck in my opinion )
4th Gen Intel i5/i7 ( Non-K CPU with H Board if your not gonna overclock ) will do just fine .
by the way . 270 to GTX 970 is mmm not that Big Jump . Instead , go for GTX 980 or wait for AMD 390x ( they gonna rock )

I've over clocked it quite a lot and it seems to run quite decently but hmm I don't know if it's worth selling everything just for a CPU cos that's what I'd have to do to at least get all my money back cos I don't think a CPU would sell as well as a gpu as a standalone and benchmarks say otherwise dude it's on par with a r9 290x for some benchmarks. Do you think some of amds latest cpu's will be good with the 970?

AMD's strongest CPUs are as strong as Intel's Regular ones . So dont sell your CPU , go with it for a while and go for Strong intel . why do you wanna go with AMD cpu ? they suck .
if GTX 970 is as strong as AMD 290x then go for it . GTX 980 is for being more future proof . Better card = Longer use .
by the way AMD graphic cards are better for Ultra high triple monitorish systems . because of more Vram and larger bandwidth

If you gonna stay with that cpu for long time then go for GTX 970 otherwise go for GTX 980 . take a look at this benchmark . might help you decide little better .

Man AMD CPUs are horrible for SLI/CROSSFIRE . i know all of their boards come with 4 way sli/crossfire capability and they are so damn cheap. But AMD cpus ( even their Best ones ) will bottleneck Monster SLI/CROSSFIRE systems .
so just go for GTX 970 . and after awhile Go for strong i7/i5 and get the second GTX 970 if you ever felt the need for SLI ing . i suggest you to go for Single Card Solution for Most compatibility and Stability

AMD has come a long way with improving not only the micro stutter but also scaling in Xfire.

First of all, Fx6300 is not a weak CPU. Second it will not bottleneck 970 for sure. For an upgrade grab GTX 970 for now. your future upgrade for CPU could be Fx 8350 (if you don't want to change the mobo) or Intel i5 4690k.
Remember when it comes to CPUs there are many factors to be considered. With overclocking potential GHz term is not being a primary concern. It is power efficiency of the CPU, single threaded performance and multi-threaded performance. In terms of single threaded performance Intel is a clear winner over AMD but in terms of multi-threaded performance AMD would be beneficial with 6-8 core processors at low cost.
Given that, as most of the games are utilizing a few cores, so Intel is recommended mostly because of their superior architecture. Though AMD has announced new Fx series CPUs but the architecture is not changed, hence their performance results should not be shocking. AMD really needs to change the architecture of FX series CPUs to have head-on competition with Intel.

He is not talking about the video cards as the limiting factor, the 6300 would be the weak link in a multi card setup.

The gtx 970 is basically a 780 ti. The 6300 cannot keep up.
A 8350 cannot fully keep up either in cpu bound titles, and usually you need to overclock to 4.5ghz+.
The 6300 is an entry level gaming cpu.

This is rather a bold statement that GTX 970 is basically a 780Ti. Both cards have different architectures and different requirements. Overclocked 6300 will not bottleneck single GTX 970. You may be referring to the performance benefits owing to the architecture differences between both.
Head to head comparison between single 780Ti and single 970 you will see that 780Ti is a winner by long or short. But SLI of 970s beat single 780Ti.

Gpu boss is utter shit.
I used to like techpowerup till it was revealed they were doing things like reviewing cpu's in gpu bound benchmarks...

I imagine the gap closes fairly easily when both are overclocked, as the 900 series just run so damn cool.
For your information Tom's did a test a while back, under some conditions (ie cpu bound titles, as in most of the current 1-4 core using games) a 8350 bottlenecks a 7970...

Thanks for the replies
thank you for the reassurance, i'm definitely gonna upgrade to fx 8350 in the future
so do you definitely reckon that an fx 6300 would be okay with a gtx 970? atm imma keep my r9 270 and next year by the time a lot of the announced 'next gen' games are out, i'll see how well it performs and if it cant handle some of the games imma get the 970

I assume that you're playing @1080p. If you're running @1440 or higher then you really don't need to worry much about the CPU bottlenecking that GPU.
At 1080p though, even with the FX-6300 highly overclocked, you're going to see bottlenecking in some titles, depending on how dependent they are on single-core performance. Think about the games you already play. Are you happy with the frame rate minimums you get when you run your current games at medium settings? If so, then an upgrade to the GTX 970 would probably make sense for you because it would enable better performance at higher detail settings than you have now, and new and upcoming games should make effective use of the FX's 6 cores so the CPU won't be a bottleneck in them. However, if you already play games that don't give you acceptable minimums at medium settings, then only a new CPU is going to alleviate the problem.
You also may want to consider the upcoming GTX 960. It wouldn't be a huge upgrade over your 270X, but it would be cheaper and likely more well-suited to your processor @1080p.
And I wouldn't bother upgrading from FX 6 core to 8 core for gaming purposes. Most games will run better on a high-clocked 6 core than a moderately-clocked 8 core, and getting the FX-83xx to high clocks requires an investment in much beefier cooling than what you have now.

http://www.tweaktown.com/tweakipedia/55/amd-fx-8350-pow...
Intel system that's 300% more expensive, gives at best, only 10-20% faster performance in the best case scenarios.
Stick with your FX-6300, overclock it with cheap, closed loop water, and get a GTX970 now and another one if/when you're ready to SLI, or wait to see what R9 390/R9 390X bring to the table early next year.

you can get a 970, but it will be bottlenecked.
I HAD an 8350 and a 990FX, and it bottled my R9 290 in some games, even at 4.7ghz.
and your 970 will be even STRONGER than my 290, you will not be happy wwith the performance you get. it will choke your new GPU down to a lower tier in performance
Take it from someone who learned the hard way and ended up having to buy a whole new Z97 and 4790k.
I have something these guys don't have: Proof
Tom's Hardware themselves tested this a few weeks ago and said this:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-fx-8370e-cpu,39...
"Depending on the game in question, AMD’s new processor has the potential to keep you happy around the AMD Radeon R9 270X/285 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 or 660 Ti level.
A higher- or even high-end graphics card doesn’t make sense, as pairing it with AMD's FX-8370 simply limits the card's potential."
and that's with a brand new 8370.
Don't go through the torubleshooting I had too, you can get the 970 first, as at least you will get some of the pperformance from it, but plan on an Intel
Honestly, get a simple 4690k at $239, and a middle of the road Z97 for like $150, and your FPS will increase 20-30 above what that 6300 is able to push the 970.
again... I went through this hell of a cpu. Look how the 8350 affected my performance in BF3... BF3 came out in 2011
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq9dSLOElX4&list=UU4WCR...
That was my computer pre-Intel, and now I get 100+ in that same area...same exact gpu.
If you are using anything higher than a 760.770, scrap AMD cpu's for gaming altogether. If you are want to game with High end GPU's, You need to shell out for High End CPU's, that simple. Sucks I know, but I had to bite the bullet and get an intel too.

Anything greater than the power of an R9 280 or GTX 760 is a waste with a FX-6300. Too much of a CPU bottleneck for high end cards to stretch their legs. I wish I could find the article I recently read that corroborates this. Basically they tested a series of video cards with an Intel i5 or i7 and an FX-6300. The low to middle range cards were fine, but when they hit about R9 280X and GTX 770 level the FPS in games stopped increasing (showing a CPU bottleneck with the FX).

My mother board is XFX NVIDIA GeForce 7100 nForce 630i I like to upgrade my gpu by install nvidia610 2gp ddr3 graphics card. And my psu is zeb 450w dsata ( 20 + 4 ) pin.
My question is this card will support to my pci slot and my PSU is enough for it.and also please give a suggestions in manufacturer of the nvidia610 2gp ddr3? I like to go zotac or asus which is best for me thanx in advance

http://www.overclock.net/t/1469076/fx-6300-r9-290-bench...
Do you even KNOW HOW LOW that 3D mark score is???
Here's my PC's results of my i7 and r9 290 to give you a good idea:
6300 + 3x 290x's
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/2286112
4790k + 1x r9 290:
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/4026502?
So with a 6300, 3x 290's cannot even match my single 290 with an i7... hmmmm
Yes, the 6300/290x's score had a higher GPUs score in them all, but the combined GPU/CPU score shows at if the game is even REMOTELY cpu intensive, your hardware will be choked to the ground by the FX CPU. Sure its 3dMark, but similar bottlenecks would show in game, trust me. The fact that even with 3x the horsepower, it couldn't match my single i7/290's combined (the main one in big numbers, is CPU+GPU) score just goes to shows 6300 couldn't power any of them as well as the i7 fed my single 290... Yikes
P.S. I tested with my old 8350 before I took it out, Here's the 8350 vs 4790k with my R9 290. (sorry, 8350 results are in 3 links)
8350: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/2241943
http://www.3dmark.com/cg/1832432
http://www.3dmark.com/is/2033118
4790k: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/4026502?%20stock%20II
Basically I gained Combo score AND GPU score (GPU score increasing is what shows proves the 8350 was choking the card) in every single test, showing that even the 8350 at 4.4ghz was a bottleneck.
Don't know HOW much clearer I can prove this to you guys... even a simple i5 would be better than the 8350/9590, buying an intel cpu/mobo, at lest this generation, is a must if you want to run with the big gpu's.

But for budget builds AMD would be the way to go. Who in the world would seriously want 3 290's, everyone knows that a single GPU is always better than SLI's or CrossFire's as they are still not perfected to their greatness.
I'm sure that even a GTX 960 wouldn't bottleneck it as much.
Your seriously comparing a high-end i7 with the 6300?
Of course, Intel's micro architecture is way better than AMD's till date.
But comparing a $350 chip with an $110 chip. :l Just speechless.

Yes... but even the 9590 vs the 4690k, the same price, I would still choose the i5 over FX's current core architecture
I bought my 8350 originally backing this Multicore gaming optimization everyone promised.
Turns out games are just getting more and more CPU intensive, and the core strength is more needed as well.
DX12 can't come soon enough. Or at least a better Mantle in 2015
Fingers crossed-

But for budget builds AMD would be the way to go. Who in the world would seriously want 3 290's, everyone knows that a single GPU is always better than SLI's or CrossFire's as they are still not perfected to their greatness.I'm sure that even a GTX 960 wouldn't bottleneck it as much.
Your seriously comparing a high-end i7 with the 6300?
Of course, Intel's micro architecture is way better than AMD's till date.
But comparing a $350 chip with an $110 chip. :l Just speechless.
Yes... but even the 9590 vs the 4690k, the same price, I would still choose the i5 over FX's current core architecture
I bought my 8350 originally backing this Multicore gaming optimization everyone promised.
Turns out games are just getting more and more CPU intensive, and the core strength is more needed as well.
DX12 can't come soon enough. Or at least a better Mantle in 2015
Fingers crossedAMD seriously need to change their architecture for their next line-up of desktop chips or they're just going to lose badly in the market. Although people do buy AMD's chips due to the price. Hoping that Mantle would be used on every game in the future.
Yeah, talking about the 9590 that thing just sucks juice. And the performance isn't quite as well looking at it's power comsumption.
Surely the 4670k or the 4690k.

Sure, your contention is right. But here is something worth checking:http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/2286112
http://www.overclock.net/t/1469076/fx-6300-r9-290-bench...
Do you even KNOW HOW LOW that 3D mark score is???
Here's my PC's results of my i7 and r9 290 to give you a good idea:
6300 + 3x 290x's
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/2286112
4790k + 1x r9 290:
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/4026502?
So with a 6300, 3x 290's cannot even match my single 290 with an i7... hmmmm
Yes, the 6300/290x's score had a higher GPUs score in them all, but the combined GPU/CPU score shows at if the game is even REMOTELY cpu intensive, your hardware will be choked to the ground by the FX CPU. Sure its 3dMark, but similar bottlenecks would show in game, trust me. The fact that even with 3x the horsepower, it couldn't match my single i7/290's combined (the main one in big numbers, is CPU+GPU) score just goes to shows 6300 couldn't power any of them as well as the i7 fed my single 290... Yikes
P.S. I tested with my old 8350 before I took it out, Here's the 8350 vs 4790k with my R9 290. (sorry, 8350 results are in 3 links)
8350: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/2241943
http://www.3dmark.com/cg/1832432
http://www.3dmark.com/is/2033118
4790k: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/4026502?%20stock%20II
Basically I gained Combo score AND GPU score (GPU score increasing is what shows proves the 8350 was choking the card) in every single test, showing that even the 8350 at 4.4ghz was a bottleneck.
Don't know HOW much clearer I can prove this to you guys... even a simple i5 would be better than the 8350/9590, buying an intel cpu/mobo, at lest this generation, is a must if you want to run with the big gpu's.
Point well made dear.
