Will Fx-6300 bottleneck a r9 390

Will my Fx-6300 bottleneck an MSI r9 390? And if so, how bad?
This is my current build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/MrNinjaSwaggins/saved/WBd

yes it will, in fact EVERY AMD CPU WILL

superninja12 :

The true answer is both yes and no. It really depends on what games you will be playing. During CPU intensive games (DayZ, Ark Survival, highly physics based games), there could easily be some bottlenecking. During GPU intensive games, there will not be any noticeable bottleneck. You could easily upgrade to an FX-8350 or FX-8320 and resolve this problem.

However, stating that all AMD CPu's bottleneck is incorrect. Being an intel or amd fanboy isn't helpful. Actually take the time to look at the products before writing an answer.

i am not being an intel fanboy.
go look up benchmarks from different type of video games.

You'll be fine. Ignore the bottleneck talk. The answer is what do you need it to do, if you're above 60 FPS on a 60 Hz screen, then it's as good as it's going to get.

^+1 That's the truth.

Furthermore, I also happen to have the Fx-6300 + r9 290. No issues at 1080p/60fps, or nearly, on ultra with titles like Fallout 4, BF 4, Witcher 3.... etc. Granted there are the occasional frame drops but nothing that will ruin the experience.

Games you play always matters. For instance, Arma 3 will struggle a lot, BF4 no problem.

Benjiwenji · Apr 1, 2016

Well yes, especially Arma, Dayz, and to a lesser extend GTA V. However, that's rather the exception and not the rule.

Alright, with all the arguing going on in the chat, here it is. Suzuki and Benji are both very very competent people and obviously open their eyes up to both the fact that the card will not be bottlenecked (It will not wait on the CPU to send it information for long periods of time while it isn't doing any work).

While the card will not be bottlenecked, you will not get as much performance from the CPU as you would from a higher end CPU. This may cause your framerate to drop, but as Benji previously said, the pair will have no problems playing the latest games at good settings.
