As in the tittle I have an r9 290x and an a8 6500 apu 3.5 ghz (never overclocked it) 8gb of ram and a 750 w psu (EVGA BQ 80 Plus bronze),How badd will it be like is and it worth changing platform for performance. You can ask me anything about my system.
 
I got the r9 290x and Im upgrading from a r7 240 (pretty bad) Im gonna the guess the diference will be masive but Will I be able to play BF with 1080 and medium settings at 60 fps, also thanks for the quick responses shows me supportive this forum really is 😛
 


Battlefield 1 is a pretty CPU intensive game, but at medium settings you should be fine as long as you over clock the CPU a bit. You really should upgrade that CPU soon though. For comparison I have an a10 7870k at 5.1GHz and a GTX 1050ti and get an average of 55 fps on ultra 1080p
