Is upgrading from a FX4170 to a FX6300 worth it for gaming?

Just want to know what sort of performance increase I would get while gaming by upgrading to the 6300 from the 4170.

It also depends on the game as games atm normally use 4-8 cpu cores. On games which use 4 cores, you may not find much difference. But on games like crysis 3 and BF4 yes, you will notice somewhat 30%(probably less or more, depends on the game) better performance with fx 6300. So still it wouldn't be that big upgrade but it will be more future proof.

that CPU only has 2 FPUs though, unlike an intel quad which has 4.

Unless you plan on doing some overclocking, I don't think you would see a huge gain in performance, and if you did, it would be with certain games. The FX-6300 would have more longevity, but it would probably be better to save up and get an FX-8320.
