Will an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T bottleneck amd 480 4gb?

Will my friends PC with a non OC 1055T and 8gb RAM bottleneck the 480 4gb?

And even so, is it a good upgrade from an HD 7770 1gb?

In CPU intensive games, yes there will be a substantial bottleneck.

Personally, I got myself a new GPU anyway during the holiday sales because I plan to do a ZEN (Ryzen) upgrade in a few months.

Games Like Bf1 Which uses 100% of your processor

Yeah then its gonna bottleneck badly.

Well, I guess from an HD 7770 would it at least keep it going? Also my friend is wondering if it is possible for a motherboard to eventually not support certain GPUs....

Essentially, he has a mini atx mobo with the HD 7770, and a 750w PSU, it should work fine with the 480, yeah?

I have a Phenom II X6 1100T and its a lot more venerable than people think. In reality its still almost competitive with AMD's current offerings. So no despite what was said above, it will NOT bottleneck badly.

I also have an 8gb RX 480 and I run all new games at 55-60 fps (or more) without stuttering, lag, etc, ultra settings at 1080p. Games like Hitman, Doom, Battlefield 4 and Hardline, etc. The only game he may see some lagging is with Battlefield 1 or Gears of War 4, and thats only a maybe. Being that the previous BF offerings have no problem on my system and it uses the same game engine I would imagine it can't be too bad.

An OC'd 1055T will be very close in performance to my processor.

No, PCIe is backwards compatible, as long as PCIe is made motherboards will support it

Yes it will work fine, as I said the above opinions are incorrect, it will play excellently.
