R9 270X or upgrade to a RX 480?

[teutoniswolf]

Hey guys, how is everyone? I play mainly BF1 and WoW mainly. With my current rig I running most things around High at 60+ fps give or take ?(rarely ever dropping below the 60 threshold). Essentially I was wondering with my current build remaining the same would it make sense to upgrade my GPU to an RX 480 or just stick with my R9 270X? After some reading I am of the understanding that the 270X is beginning to get a little long in the tooth but also understand that my CPU is not the best either but I can not afford an upgrade right now and am waiting for Zen anyway. What are your thoughts on the GPU upgrade solely? Hope this finds you all well.

Which monitor/resolution do you play on??.Also do you play on ultra setting or medium -high??

would be a massive step up from a 270X i myself went from a GTX 680 to an RX 480 and am very happy with my card. You can tgo wrong with either the 4GB or 8GB version, but i suggest the 8GB card for more memory

I play on a BenQ RL 1920X1080. Usually medium/high settings

a rx 480 is a good upgrade then

with a 480 most games at 1080P can be set on Ultra/Max or Ultra with a few settings reduced. I play BF 1 on ultra with no AA and it looks wonderful

My FX 8350 @ stock will not bottleneck it, right?

i dont see why it would, can always o/c a bit if that is an option. But i think for general 1080P gaming a 8350 should be fine.

There will be some bottleneck, but since you are planning on Zen, it isn't that big of a deal.
