Question Can I pair a 8350 with a RX 590 Sapphire?

[sprx]

I am upgrading my System from an Asus GTX 960 4GB Turbo OC and i was looking at RX Cards and i am Debating whether to get an
480/580/590. (8GB)
Which Card should i get that will not bottleneck my CPU Thanks

(My CPU is OC to 4.4GHz)

That CPU will "bottleneck" any of those cards.

The gap between these graphics cards and 960/4g is not very big, but the biggest disadvantage of 960 is only 128bit.
Plus the single core performance of FX8350 is relatively weak, even if you change the RX590, there will be no good experience.
New video cards cost a lot, if you wanna buy second hand graphics card, please notice do not buy the mining card although it is cheap

Those cards you mentioned will certainly run on most AM3+ systems, including your FX-8350. Though it's highly likely your CPU won't be able to fully utilize RX 480, 580 or even 590 on modern games. i'd say it maxes out at 70-75% gpu usage.

Ive seen benchmarks with the 8350 and RX Cards and they seem to be better than the 960 but thanks

You can, but I definitely wouldn’t. The 8350 will significantly hold them back.

That CPU is from 2012. I strongly recommend upgrading that AND your video card., if at all possible.

I know for a fact that isnt true

I know for a fact that isnt true

My guy, AM3+ will bottleneck your GPU, I ran a system on an FX-8320

And I have run two AM3+ systems before, including a system with the 8350.

As you said, the 8350 will hold back all three of the video cards.

Then why are you asking us?

I would start with a platform upgrade and do the gpu later. You will get a higher benefit that way and be up to date for the next steps. Wait for more infos on navi maybe?

If you know that for a fact, then why ask here?
That is a crappy CPU by todays standards and will bottle neck.
It doesn't mean your Gaming won't be improved, it just means the GPU won't be running at it's maximum potential because your cpu WILL bottleneck it

Yeah agree with everyone, sorry but the FX series wasn't a great gaming CPU when they were released and certainly not almost 8 years later, hence why Intel pulled so far ahead of them until Ryzen.
