Will a A4-6300 bottleneck a R7-260x

[Alexdiaz]

I'm looking into buying a new PC for light casual gaming. My plan is to buy the A4-6300 and use it for the graphics card until Christmas where
I can ask for a R7-260x. I'm just wondering if it will bottleneck a R7-260x.

No it shouldn't. Bottlenecking rarely happens now. And if im correct (going off of memory though) that APU runs off of R7 integrated graphics so you might be able to crossfire the integrated GPU and your dedicated GPU

EDIT: Nvm the intergrated graphics are different and dont believe you can crossfire them but the dedicated GPU will not be bottlenecked regarless.

It is fine. I am running a 260x with my A4-3420.

A4 is not bad, but not good for gaming, especially with the integrated graphics.

If you look here, the A4 is not as good as even an older Core 2 Duo E8400 processor. http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/363/AMD_A4-Series_A4-6300_vs_Intel_Core_2_Duo_E8400.html

It will limit you to lower settings in many new games.

I'd go for a A8 or A10 for a gaming system if you need one with integrated video.

This, I would recommend at least an A8 if you want to use it for gaming until xmas
