R9-270 or 270x with a Core i3 530 FIRST GEN

[OmMeE]

AOA

Can anyone please confirm if the R9-270 or the 270X has ANY ISSUES running with the Core i3 530 or Any FIRST GEN PROCESSORS?

 

[kamran saeed]

No there will be no issue.i recomend buy 270x its a sold performer used my self for a year and its never go down on any game i played on max

Another tip, get the R9 270 non x variant and save the money. The 270x is essentially an overclocked 270 nothing more.
I've the 270 and easily overclocked it. Save the money.

Bro i5 minimum nothing below that

will cause bottleneck in cpu intensive game, especially at lower resolution

 

[Captain Wajji]

Yeah. There will be a CPU bottleneck. I had a core 2 quad running with my 7770 and now I have i5 running with the same card. There's a huge difference in the performance.

i3 might be bottleneck in Games requires more core, these days Games are more CPU + RAM intensive too beside GPU. try to Get an i5 2nd Gen 2400/2500(K) work best for every single Game. along with any GPU from 270/660 to 780/290.
