Do the AMD FX-6350 would bottleneck the R9 280x? should I get the R9 270x instead? I like to play BF4 1080p on ultra 60+ fps

With my amd 7870 and this processor i run bf4 at 60+ fps on highso no, no bottlenecking

The 6350 wont bottleneck an R280x, you will alao get great frame rate 55-60.

It's hard to answer this without more detail on your setup (motherboard, memory, overclocking, etc), but my experience with this chip in a different build is that it's borderline - you may max out cores. If you're thinking about buying this chip now (that is - you *don't* already own it) I'd suggest getting the FX-8320 instead, which only costs a little more, runs cooler, and responds well to overclocking (I've been running both of these chips with Evo 212 coolers at 4.5GHz for several months 24/7 and the FX-6350 runs MUCH hotter).

Luis is right. Highly recommend this card, best bang for your buck. I use it with an fx 6300 nd can play bf4 on ultra at around 60 fps.

I would go with Nvidia 780 or 780TI. Personally i have 2 780's they run BF4 max settings flawlessly.

I would not get hung up on cores (768), get hung up on how well it performs in most games at 1080p. If you can spend a bit more do it otherwise just settle on this card.

Yes - I'm actually using an R9 270X with it right now. That range of card ($150-$250) is a great fit for the APU processors for a balanced system - any cards more expensive than that and you start to find that the rest of the platform is holding you back (depending on the game of course).

You can crossfire it with a dedicated graphics card if it is one of the two... i think radeon hd 6570 or 6750 it will say on the box the cpu comes with. you could also just get a better graphics card which i recommend for higher end games. like an radeon R7. you may still be able to combine the graphics card and the GPU i havent tried yet

Well, using the AMD Catalyst center, what is the speed you have? Mine runs 50-60% and is not that loud. It also depends on the case you have, remember that loudness depends on how intensive the game is, and in BF3 it is considered normal. The dual fan card will be quiet, because it has double dissipation.

The 7970 Matrix is a great card in my opinion. If you are not going to overclock this card, then I would pass on it. It is designed for overclocking. This card is stock overclocked, but still has room for more which is amazing. As my video review showed, I am watercooling my Matrix and that allowed an even higher overclock. According to the Asus website, the new R9-280x Matrix is the same card with a slight decrease in core base clock, 950MHz instead of 1050MHz and a slight decrease in memory also, 1600Mhz(6400Mhz) instead of 1650MHz(6600MHz).

No, this board is for AM3+ and AM3 processors only. That means FX series, but they work great. I use a 7970 and haven't had trouble playing games, but if you have large graphics requirements (I have a 1440p monitor OC'd to 120hz), you might need SLI/Crossfire setups, which need more cpu punch. I am personally confident however that an 8350 with this board should handle dual graphics setups without difficulty.

I haven't upgraded my 280x, because there has been no need to. Still runs the most recent games on highest settings.

Actually, surprisingly good. Although, what you'll really want to partner with this is a good GPU... unless you're planning on focusing more on CPU intensive games like WoW, then you'll be okay with a middle of the road GPU. I've been playing Titanfall, Assassins Creed: Black flag, BF4, (as well as some older titles) and my fps is definitely playable and pleasing to the eyes (running everything 1080p and maxed settings). I have this CPU partnered with a GTX 760 2GB... soon to be an SLI setup. Hope that helps!

It all depends on what you willcuse it for. If it is for gaming I would use the Asus GeForce. The XFX AMD Radeon tends to over heat.

No you shouldn´t. The radeon 7850 beats Radeon r7 260x. I have a 7850 and I´m very happy. (But I will not play at superior resolution than 1920x1080 at Max settings with modern games like Tomb Raider)
1399881
I bought an FX 8350 along with this card, and there are absolutely no problems with either the card or the processor. It'll be able to perform amazingly on all modern games, running most at high settings, 1080p 40-60FPS

Don't waste money on the 270x it runs too hot. Then the 280x is still not worth it. I've had both. Nvidias 970 destroys them and the 290x

Probably not enough to warrant the cash it will cost you. A few frames per second here and there at 1080P resolution would not be enough to entice me into this card over the r9 280X. I would hold out until next year and see if there are any monumental leaps in power to maybe a card in this price range that could actually put up decent number in 4K. Just a thought.T

Two of them is roughly the same amount of shaders as a 7970 or r9 280x but has less memory and less memory bandwidth. If you can get a second one for less than 250 it's worth it to crossfire in my opinion
