will my r9 280x bottleneck my fx 6300

[superman9826]

my wife got me a new video card for my birthday. it is an r9 280x. I am wondering if I will have any bottlenecking problems with the two. Also if they do not bottleneck, how long do I have before the fx 6300 loses its steam and wont be able to play modern games at 1080p. my processor is overclocked to 4.2ghz just as a side note. Thanks in advance

40 FPS+ in ANY game, you will be fine for a good long while...

First of all,a GPU can't bottleneck a CPU. A CPU can bottleneck a GPU
No,your FX won't bottleneck the R9 280X since it's OC'd to 4.2 GHz. A stock FX-6300 would bottleneck it.
Great wife,btw. My GF would never get me such a present for my birthday. 😛
All the best.

no it will not bottleneck.... i will say 60+ fps in any game 40+ fps can be achieved by r7 260x....

MMOs that are not AMD friendly will get a performance hit from the 6300. Like Planetside2. Or a large multiplayer Battlefield 3/4 battle.

Oh.dat
My friend had a FX-6300 and an R9 280X.The stock bottlenecked the GPU.
When he OC'd it to 4.3 GHz,all of his problems were gone.
When playing CPU intensive games,of course. 😛

the fx6300 is fine for r9 280x it have the overclocking potentials and it competes with i3....

But that doesn't have anything to do with his GPU so its kinda a moot point. On a side note I thought BF4 ran good on AMD as long as mattle is enabled.

True as well. But that requires an AMD GPU. Which is relevant to him at least.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I got the r9 280x installed last night and at 1080p I can hit 75-80 fps using mantle with dips in really big maps only hitting 69 fps on BF4. I haven't really played a lot of mmos. I have been playing games such as tomb raider, thief, hitman absolution, dirt 3 etc

That's awsome.
Have fun with your GPU. 😉
