Will the AMD Athlon II X2 260 cpu bottleneck a rx 480 ?

It is the best CPU my MB accept, it will bottleneck a RX 480 ?

I need the best GPU to play latest games at 1080p on high quality

Hi Dario,

Yes, since that CPU is so old and slow.

Horribly. You'll only get a tiny fraction of that card's potential with your CPU.

Yes, big time, even a quad core version of your CPU would be a bottleneck. Most new games require at least 4 threads to function properly, with dual core CPUs that lack some sort of multithreading capability having issues even launching the game, or suffering serious performance issues like stuttering and very low framerates, and that's with much better dual cores than what you have like the Pentium G3258.

You need to look at doing a complete rebuild of your system to run the latest games, a simple GPU upgrade isn't going to cut it.
