Will a 390x bottleneck in my setup?

Maurice97 · Jun 26, 2015

i've heard that the 390x is coming so i thought of getting it as an upgrade from my HD 7850 2GB OC Edition
So will it bottleneck in my setup?
My specs are:
xeon E5450 (LGA 775 modded)
8GB ADATA DDR3 memory
Asus P5G41C-MLX
500Watt PSU

Yes - the Xeon would bottleneck it and you need a good quality 700W PSU - from tier 1 or 2 of http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html#xtor=EPR-8886

So what would be a decent graphics card that won't bottleneck with my xeon?

is my HD7850 still good enough?

Your CPU - http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5450+%40+3.00GHz&id=1236

about the same as an i3.

HD 7850 - http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+HD+7850&id=323

I'd get a R9 270 - http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-270-vs-Radeon-HD-7850

So your card is about as high as I would go.
