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

This video card runs BF4 1080p on ultra, but the min FPS is 45, not 60+. This video card on CrossfireX, the average is 60-80 FPS

You can definitely run BF3 on ultra, I have the same card and I get 60 fps, never a drop, smooth as butter...buy it.

I'd go for one of the R7 or R9 cards if you can. from that 5760 to 6850 you aren't going to see a huge performance difference.

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.

280x will be fine. there is a difference between 280 and 280x though, 280x is better fyi. 290x is kinda expensive, but the best ati has to offer

I apologize for my extremely slow reply. Life has been challenging lately. I do not play Rome 2. So I truly don't know. HOWEVER, I do play Crysis and other FPS with no stutters, frame freeziing or machine meltdown.Other components of my machine include 16 GB of RAM, an Intel i7 4770k processor, an MSI ATX Z87-G45 motherboard, a Noctua NH-D14 for cooling.In other words the XFX Radeon R9 280x is supported by a stable of quality components. I'm sure you have similar components for rig. I'd go for it. No question.

you would notice a difference in video conversion apps like handbreak and games that utilize more than 4 cores. such as the battle field 3 and 4. but generally speaking its not a bad processor if you plan on overclocking to 4ghz you will need a 120mm or 240 mm liquid cooler if you want to go higher than 4ghz. as they tend to get pretty hot. but as far as AM3 motherboards are concerned this is your best option. I can play bf4 on high /ultra settings I would pair this with a r9 290 and you would have a reasonable gaming machine..I have a gigabyte windforce r9 270x which lets me play high/ ultra settings at 1080p on those games i mentioned. you would notice a difference in video conversion apps like handbreak and games that utilize more than 4 cores. such as the battle field 3 and 4. but generally speaking its not a bad processor if you plan on overclocking to 4ghz you will need a 120mm or 240 mm liquid cooler if you want to go higher than 4ghz. as they tend to get pretty hot. but as far as AM3 motherboards are concerned this is your best option.

Assuming you are gaming, it's approximately a 30% increase in performance & frame rate vs the 270x. Has 50% more memory (3gb vs 2gb), more Shading Units (2048 vs 1280), more Texture Maping Units (128 vs 80) and more computer units (32 vs 20). Go for the 280x unless hitting budget constraints

Yes it will run perfect with no bottlenecks, but i suggest go for a amd fx 6100 or better.

280x is comparable to 7970, it might have some bottle neck. if you got a motherboard hopefully you got the FM2+ socket to upgrade the the a10-7850 or if you can get the 8350. but 760k is a good CPU to start with.

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

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

I have the R9-270 setup in crossfire. When I checked out the other R9 cards, I found this to be a very good deal considering the cost. So far they are solid performers and I am able to play all my games with max settings. Haven't tried some of the newer titles but I am confident in saying you will not be disappointed.

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.

Yes the card will work fine with it. That motherboard has PCIe 2.0 and the card does have the ability to work with PCIe 3.0 but you may or may not see any difference depending on what you are doing. As far as the performance difference the R9 280X is literally a rebranded Radeon HD 7970, and you could accurately say that the R9 280 is more like a rebranded Radeon HD 7950. Both of the cards will be excellent choices, I would probably go for the cheapest one myself and save yourself some bucks as the differences are small. It's interesting to note that AMD is releasing an interesting line of Cards. The 280 is just a less beefy copy of the 280X but is by and large the same card, much like the R9 290 and R9 290X are the same card, just less power on the 290.

The 290x is a internal xfire card. And for the diff on ur card to the R9 id think alot 75%+

yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to overclock yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to... » Read More yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to overclock « Show Less
