Hey everybody, been a while since I posted and can't seem to find help anywhere.

Just a few questions.

1. Can the R9 390X actually fully utilise it's 8GB VRAM or is it just a marketing sham?
2. Will my i5-3570K bottleneck my R9 390X when I get it or will it not? (Sorry for the stupid question, just unfamiliar with bottlenecking still)
3. I understand the 390X is a beast card but I only intend on using it for 1080p Gaming for now, will the 390X perform over 60fps Ultra 1080p on most games out these days?

Thank you in advance!

1. It won't use the 8GB VRAM at all, but it's a nice spec for the "future"
2. No, your i5 is a nice processor.
3. The 390x is a great VGA, it will give you support to enjoy almost all titles in full settings at 1080p!
