What's the best video card the FX 8350 will support?

Btw I've got a PSU with 750w and an Asus m5a99x evo r2.0 mother. Will they work fine together with, for example a rx 580? 
thanks in advance

I have an Asus 990FX motherboard with a FX8350 processor with a Nvidia GTX1070 GPU card. I haven't had any issues while running the latest games or any type of Stress test.

By the way, I am not a gamer so how many Frames per second a game runs is of no concern to me. As long as the game run smoothly is all I care about.

The RX 580 should work fine as long as you have the proper PCIex16 slot to install it.

But if the RX 580 will be bottlenecked by the FX8350 processor, I can't answer that. black_zion  is pretty good at knowing stuff like that.

That's going to depend on the game itself. Doom Eternal, for example, being Vulkan based and less CPU bound as a result is perfectly playable even with a Pentium Gold G5400 which is 25% faster per core BUT about 50% slower overall compared to the 8350 as it's only a dual core. Compare this with a game like Battlefield V which is DirectX 11 and therefore much more CPU dependent. It's also going to depend on the resolution you want to play at, with 1920x1080 and under being typically more CPU bound while above that it's more GPU bound.

I also have a fx 8350 processor, I am only going to Edit videos and render in hd and 4k with a lumix gh4 which gpu amd will be convenient? R9 390 8gb or r9 fury
Sapphire? thanks

Why don't you buy the RX 5600XT?

The FX-8350 on a 990FX Mobo with a RX580 wil bottleneck the card.

I had a FX-8350cpu, 990FX mobo, 8GB DDR3-1866 and a RX580 8GB before, didnt make a big difrence compaired to the R9-270X 2GB card that was in there before.

Changed to a R9-3700X CPU, X570 mobo, 16GB DDR4-3200 and stuck the RX580 8GB in there, now that made a huge difrence, over twice the FPS.

So the FX-8350 is gonna be a bottle-neck with almost any modern card, so instead of buying a new video card your better of buying a Ryzen R5-3600, MSI B450 motherboard, and suitable 16GB DDR4-3200MHz, i would also highly recommend a NVMe (M2) SSD to go with the motherboard.

Than later you can buy a new videocard.

Avoid Gigabyte B450 motherboards, they all seem to have memory isues.

I think you would see a significant difference moving to an RX 580 or comparable card with that cpu. Sure a faster processor will gain you a few frames but most current games will certainly be very playable at 1080p

Some examples of this setup from youtube:

FX-8350 + RX 580 8GB Star Wars Battlefront II FPS TEST (1080p ULTRA/High/Med/Low) - YouTube 

This one tests 10 different games:

I use an X570 motherboard with the R5 3600 processor and 32GB of DDR4-3200

I had an RX Fury for a few days before it croaked so I am back using the RX 480 8GB, in short any video card out there I can leverage 100%

When the DD5 motherboards surface I will not leap in immediately as I prefer to wait for all of the kinks to get sorted out first.
