for gaming only,will i5-3470 put a big diffrence on fx-6300 ?

Hozhoz · Nov 5, 2013

i got hd 7850 2gb and am planning to get a new processor because mine is core2duo i watched videos on youtube and found that i7-3770k doesn't make a big diffrence with fx-6100 in bf3 but the diffrence in price is way too much am also planing to play cod ghosts and wow and if i get the fx-6300 ill get with it ASUS M5A78L-M LE Socket AM3+ Motherboard because am on budget tight thank you

IAMEXTREME · Nov 5, 2013

You can not compare i7-3770k with the FX-6300 as i7 ivy bridge is much more powerful than the 6300.

However if you plan to game, get a FX 8320 and an AM3+ socket mobo.

The extra 2 cores in the 8320 will be really useful

ewok93 · Nov 5, 2013

Yeah, the 6300 is a good processor to pair up with the 7850, and should run Call of Modern Op Ghosts 17 and WoW just fine. That is also a nice motherboard for the price, good choice.

IAMEXTREME :

is fx 8320 is much better than the fx-6300 ? and about the video here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV2Voo5h3eU

ewok93 :

it won't bottleneck it right ? as the core2duo is really bottlenecking it

ewok93 · Nov 5, 2013

Yeah, it shouldn't bottleneck. The 8320 is quite a bit faster, but it all depends on your budget.

Hozhoz :

i7-3770k > Fx 8320 > Fx 6300

ewok93 :

well am on a really tight budget,but maybe i can add some pounds to get it if it will make a huge diffrence on the fx-6300

IAMEXTREME :

Wow, I'm surprised it's that close between them. Yeah, as boucedk said you won't really see a difference.

Hozhoz · Nov 5, 2013

IAMEXTREME :

so will it make a very big diffrence ?

Hozhoz · Nov 5, 2013

bouncedk :

so i don't need to add that much price if am gaming only ?

IAMEXTREME · Nov 5, 2013

Hozhoz :

It will make a difference if you upgrade to FX 6300 or the FX 8320 from a core2duo!

Hozhoz · Nov 5, 2013

IAMEXTREME :

yeah that's obviously true, but will fx 8350 make a big diffrence on the 6300 in gaming cause maybe i could add some pounds and get it

JOOK-D · Nov 5, 2013

Hozhoz :

If you can get the 8320, do so. It'll allow you to multitask a bit better than the 6300 and performs a bit better in newer games. You mentioned the fx 6100 in your post (I don't know if it was accidental). If you are considering an FX CPU only get one of the piledriver ones: 4300/4350/6300/6350/8320/8350. You should also look at getting an aftermarket CPU cooler such as the Hyper 212 EVO by coolermaster to allow you to overclock. However if you're on a tight budget that can wait.

Hozhoz · Nov 5, 2013

am sorry if am asking alot but because am on a tight budget

JOOK-D · Nov 5, 2013

BTW get the 8320 over the 8350 if you're on a budget since it's cheaper. Same chip but the 8320 is clocked lower at stock, but you can overclock that in the future and get basically the same speeds for less money.

IAMEXTREME · Nov 5, 2013

As I have mentioned earlier, get the 8320. It does perform better than the FX 6300 when gaming.

u mean by multitasking playing more games in the same time ?

Hozhoz · Nov 5, 2013

well i checked now for the prices i couldn't get the 8320 at all :/ i think ill go with the fx-6300

IAMEXTREME · Nov 5, 2013

Hozhoz :

That's fine too

get a hyper 212 evo along it, and over clock the heck out of it

i think he meant between the fx-6300 and i5-3470

?

Those benchmarks show the 8350 and 3770k as being close in performance and I was surprised. It didn't have anything to do with the 3470. In fact, the only time the 3470 was mentioned was in your title

ewok93 · Nov 5, 2013

I have no idea what's going on in this thread!

ewok93 · Nov 5, 2013

You want a processor to match up to your 7850. A 6300 will not bottleneck it, but an 8320 will add more performance, without costing much more. Then something something intel.

for gaming only,will i5-3470 put a big diffrence on fx-6300 ?
