Asus Strix R9 390X bottleneck?

[Don Giorgio]

Hello guys i have i5 4690 and i want to buy Asus Strix R9 390X.Can somebody tell me if this card create a bottleneck ?

Nope, your CPU will not create any bottleneck at all. That is a really good card but I would suggest you to wait for Pascal/Polaris as they will offer much better performance and will consume much less power. The GTX 1080 beats the 980 ti and Titan X by quite a wide margin. It also only requires an 8 pin connector . The GTX 1070 is also a very good card and it also offers better performance than a 980 ti and the Titan X.

Thank you my friend.I will think your advise and i will decide

You are welcome. The Pascal and Polaris based cards will be much better. The GTX 1080 will be for ~$600 and the 1070 for~$350. Both faster than the GM200 GPU's.

Today i see the new MSI GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G and i think buy this graphic card if i dont have problem with the CPU

Nah. Your CPU won't bottleneck a GTX 1080 at all.
