Crossfiring with a 8370??

[crblakely]

I plan on getting a new motherboard and CPU soon. I will most likely get the Asus Crosshair Formula V mobo and the AMD FX-8370 cpu. I have read a couple of comments on youtube that concerned me a little bit. The comments said that the 8370 would bottleneck a R9 290. Is this true? I ask this because if i upgrade to this mobo and cpu i will be crossfiring 2 R9 290's.

You will experience some bottlenecking crossfiring 2 R9 290s with any AMD CPU.

In some games the 8370 will bottleneck a single 290 so yes i would assume its going to bottleneck two of them in crossfire.
