Will a Intel Core i3-4150 Bottleneck a MSI R9 270X GAMING 2G

Exactly as the title describes. Will a Intel Core i3-4150 bottleneck a MSI R9 270X 2G? They will both be used to play games like COD Black Ops 2, Bioshock 2, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, The Forest, and other indie games. I've heard the i3-4150 isn't meant for gaming and I'm just curious of how well it would perform in the above games.

The i3-4150 is enough to keep any current game at 60+ fps, so the bottleneck won't be noticeable. However, of course it's a bit weaker than an i5. Since any 4th gen i3, i5, or i7 will keep games well above 60 fps average, really the only difference is how long you expect the CPU to last.

And, of course, the i3-4150 will beat the FX-6300 in performance, so it's not as if it's a weak CPU.

Thanks for the information sammy sung. That's good to hear.

See if the cpu will run the game - http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=3685&game=Call%20of%20Duty:%20Black%20Ops%202

I think you'll be fine.

Yes, it certainly can run the the game. It looks like the i3-4150 will serve quite well.
