Is the FX-8350 still the best budget CPU?
I have an overclocked 8320 and it still does everything I need it to .
But it was already an old chip a year or two ago
>>51598044
yes.
>>51598044
8320 is the better buy, same specs, just lower clocked.
>>51598044
no it's a piece of shit
get an i5-4460 you kek
i got the 6300 so i would say that one is the best budget cpu
>>51598044
8320e and 6300 are the two to get on AM3.
Athlon X4 860k is the one for FM2, but no one in their right mind buys FM2 unless they're poor and wanna AMDfag.
In conclusion, 8320e or 6300 or bust. No others.
I currently run amd fx 6300
never again
save a bit more and get intel
>>51598044

>>51598225
>>51598277
here are the the intel keks with damage control
>>51598321
im not even shilling for intel honestly I just really regret buying an amd cpu
my ideal would be intel cpu + amd gpu
>>51598354
This.
I so regret buying this 980 ti. Will go AMD next generation.
>>51598354
what specifically don't you like about your 6300?
>>51598354
Face it. The only reason you regret buying an AMD CPU is because everyone on r/buildapc makes fun of you for it. There is really no major difference in performance that matters for anyone that isn't a turbo autist.
>>51598391
I regret being an impatient faggot and not saving more and getting better cpu
>>51598386
performance with audio production related software is not as good as I hoped
>>51598383
the hell is wrong with a 980 Ti
>>51598044
It hasn't been since Haswell i3s started BTFOing it. Now Skylake is out and it's just complete shit.
>>51598383
Don't. Their drivers literally fry your GPU now.
>>51598044
depends on what you do. for gayming the i5 4460 is probably better.
>>51598044
It never was.
>>51598155
Budget cpu you fucking idiot
>>51598541
The 980 ti itself is fine, I just hate nvidia for making geforce experience mandatory to get regular driver updates. I won't support that.
>>51598594
>Falling for the meme and being this retarded
>>51598180
why 6300 in preference over 6350?
>>51598764
lol k
>>51598044
Im satisfied plenty with my 8350.
>>51598180
860k is fm2+ not FM2
>>51598225
What happened with the 6300? House catch fire or something? Seriously though, what didn't you like?
>>51599122
its gonna sound something like "Well i told /g/ and then they just kept laughing! Never again"
>>51599185
>>51599122
I already posted about it
it doesn't preform so nice for music production with big projects that have lots of stuff going on in them
>>51598155
Just bought one, but I have only a LGA 1155 socket on my motherboard. What do I do now.
>>51599227
then use a fx 8350 or an i7, why would anyone get a 6300 for multitasking?
>>51599264
retardation
>>51598044
nope, the fx 8320e or fx 6300 is
they all overclock the same, better off buying the low end cpu and spending more on cooling to push it as close to 5ghz as possible
Fx 8350 or 9590?
>>51599643
for which usecase? how do you want to cool it?
a8 6600k is a nice apu equivalent
>>51598792
What the fuck are you on about?
>Custom Installation
>uncheck geforce experience
>???
>PROFIT!!!
>>51599588
>>51599643
if you have 970 chipset motherboard cooling wont be an issue, power consomption will. my 8350 never goes hotter then 60c with the gammax 400, even if its cloacked at 4.8

>>51599720
this
Well it still is a beast for serious multitasking and rendering. On a budget. So yeah, depends. There are better budget cpus if all you have is gaming in mind
Had an amd FX 8350
Was amd fan boy
Caved in, bought a 4790k

Will never go back
Remember the good old days
I cry everytime.feels
>>51599832
Wait people use that to download drivers?
>http://www.geforce.com/drivers
Doesn't the above work just as well? You don't need to update your drivers every fuckin second, only when either a new game you want to play comes out or when you get crashing.
Weird. Always gone directly to get the drivers.
>>51599895
You say a cpu twice as expensive is "better"?
Are you sure about that? There must be a mistake.
>>51599911
me too, but nvidia said they want to make the geforce experience mandatory for regular driver updates, and only upload 1 driver each 3 months or so to their website.
And I don't like that, so I'm going AMD next gen. Fuck nvidia.
>>51599968
so now every company is going fuck you in the ass when ever they feel like it
whats going on?
the NWO???
>>51599968
I don't sit on the bleeding edge when it comes to playing hot new shit that comes out. Usually I wait a bit so as long the drivers exist I'll be fine.
>>51599260
What kind of idiot buys a CPU without checking if it's compatible with the motherboard?
>>51599895
>have the fx-8350 bought it on sale
>friend has the 4790k
>both have the GTX 970 same card
>Neither of us can tell the difference in real time
>both of us still have fun playing games
Nice try shill.
i3 4170 or i5 4460
is quad core fucking mandatory in modern gaming?
>>51600072
Me neither, and I don't play all the AAA titles. However I like to have options, and if nvidia is going to lock options behind some registration wall or something they can fuck right off and die for all I care.
>>51600120
I did read that a lot of modern games perform like shit on dual core now - at least compared to quad core
>>51600120
yes, most i3's reach lower minimum FPS than piledriver CPUs whilst having higher average fps in total
those i3's are also trash at multitasking, even worse if you fall for the shill meme and get the g3258
>>51600135
Meh, like all giants they'll realize it'll tank hard for them once a portion of their userbase opt-out or disappear. They'll realize they fucked up eventually.
>>51600241
Their fanbase only has one other option: AMD. And with the recent drivers burning out GPUs I don't see many NVidia users willing to make the switch.
>>51600241
I hope so otherwise me not taking their shit would've been pointless.
>>51600274
>>51600273
Wonder if AMD would follow suit? Well it'll be quite a world when we have to start pirating drivers just to get the hardware to work. Driver registration isn't new and hasn't ever been well received.
>>51600273
>buying into memes
>>51598044
I like mine. I don't game but it handles everything I throw at without breaking a sweat.Just be sure to get a good motherboard.
>>51598459
>performance with audio production
wut?
>>51599260
You either buy a compatible motherboard or return the cpu and buy one that is compatible with your current motherboard.
Don't ever, ever, ever buy anything without checking compatibility.
>>51598044
Fx 6300.
6 cores clocked at 4.8 ghz give any i3 a run for its money. Should get close to an i5 in most games and beat it in well tbreaded ones.
>>51599659
>>51599737
Want to use it for gaming/rendering/compiling will a 8350 suffice?
>>51600273
>decent drivers burning out GPUs
Source?
>>51598044
i snagged an i5 4690k for 149 at frys yesterday.
>>51599122
Personally speaking it bottlenecks the hell out of my 280x in games
It is a burden to get i5 performance for i3 money.
>>51602150
it shouldnt really especially since its dead easy to OC it to 4.2ghz and beyond
>>51602429
The 8 core gets to 4.2 easy. A 6300 can easily hit 4.5 ghz
>>51602722
Wrong. My 6300 wouldn't go above 4.3 no matter how much voltage I pushed through.
Though granted, I didn't use the highest quality motherboard.
>>51602722
Many have been able to push to 5ghz fx 6300
>>51598876
6350 is just and overclocked 6300
buying a FX cpu (for gayming) was a terrible mistake for me, just get a cheap i5 non-k if you wanna save, like the 4460
>>51602757
i can get my 6300 to 4.3 easily but for some reason my computer shits its when i put it at 4.2
>>51603524
>$0.02 has been deposited into your Intel Marketing account
Get a socket 475 mobo + Pentium 4 & 1Gb ddr game and done
Is it good to pair a i5-6500k with a sapphire R9-390?
>>51604245
Very.
>>51604245
Enjoy your bottleneck
>>51600998
lots of cpu heavy synths and automation going on in the projects its eats up cpu bigtime
one instance of kontakt on my fx 6300 uses 30% cpu in my meters
now imagine that with other synths and automation and fx plugns like eq and compressors going on at the same time
I fucked up by getting it basically
on paper it looks a lot better than it preforms and the price was low so I bought it
im gonna upgrade soon and rebuild this cpu/mobo into a computer I use for non audio things
its not a bad cpu but I over estimated it by far
No game even comes close to maxing out my 8350
I use like 40 watts under load at 40C
>>51604614
desu I used my 6300 for gaming and it preforms decently
the only problem area ive run into was music production
