R9 280 and FX-8210- Will the CPU bottle neck the GPU?

[McGirk242]

Hey there,

I recently acquired a new PC and I am setting my eyes on buying an R9 280 for the system, however I am concerned about the CPU bottle necking the GPU. If so, how much will it choke up the GPU and should I consider a card downgrade until I can get a better CPU?

For point of reference, it's slightly better than an FX-6300.

No it won't bottleneck. Also the 6300 won't see any bottleneck til something stronger than a 280x
