Hey everyone, considering purchasing the new RX 480 card from AMD but I have an AMD 6300 3.5Ghz CPU and wonder if it will bottle neck or not? I cant check the wattage yet as I don't have the card but have no way of checking beforehand. Currently I have an R9 270x

Even though the FX6300 is probably not strong enough for you to get 100% from a 480, performance would still be good and it would definitely be a solid upgrade over your 270x. You just need a GOOD 550w psu for that combo.

Ah nice, just for the record will I be able to get some decent FPS on recent games with this until I upgrade my CPU?
i.e. Dishonored 2 (Which is the reason why I want to upgrade, want to play it so bad but cant run it well!)
