FX 6100 OCed vs I3 4330 in games

Steel_Nugget · Aug 23, 2014

Building a lower budget PC, and I have a choice between these two CPUs. I think the I3 is a bit faster, but I can get the FX cheaper. So how much of a difference would I see in games like BF3, or Arma? If you could link benchmarks (For games) That would be great.
It will be paired with a HD 7770.
Thanks!

OC'ed FX-6100 definetly better than i3. as for benchmarks,they mainly contain non OC'ed FXes and almost always loopsided towards intel, wouldn't trust em too much ,real performance is one you experience yourself,not the one benchmarks show you.

Rationale · Aug 23, 2014

The i3-4330 would be better.
An OC'd FX-6100 is comparable to an FX-6300 (slightly different architecture, actually the OC'd FX-6100 would still be a bit weaker, but close), and here you can see an i3-4340 (which is less than 2 fps away from an i3-4330) beats the FX-6300 quite easily even in BF4. I chose that game to benchmark because it uses 8 cores, and therefore presents a worst case scenario for the i3.

In Arma 2 the i3-4330 would be much quicker (it's mostly a single threaded games), and in Arma 3 they'd be about the same based on benchmarks comparing the FX-6300 to older ivy bridge i3s.

Go for the 6300. When it is overclocked up to around 4 ghz on the stock voltage, you see similar single core performance of the i3. For a long term investment, you'll be glad you bough the 6300.

random5 · Aug 23, 2014

rationale is intels fanboy and most likely employee (cant judge him.. decent wage,excellent job conditions,long vacation..) so advertises i3 as hard as he can just for the sake that people buy it,because sales of i3 is shrinking.. more and more people become enlightened about i3's poor performance,every software and game becomes more and more demanding so dual-core i3's lagg behind more and more.

Diox55 :

easily overclockable higher,while FX-6's seem slightly weaker in single core performance than i3's in stock clock, overclocking makes their dominance even more obvious and locked i3 cant catch up in any task,although in most cases FX-6's surpass i3 without even overclocking xD, i3 relies solely on its stock single core clock, one last ground which FX didn't captured yet, though you can capture it with OC.

Once again, I just posted proof of i3s beating the FX-6300 in nearly every circumstance. Either post proof yourself or stop lying to people.

Even though, this does turn into a slight circle jerk after awhile, it proves the FX-6 series will be better overall. Especially when the games do use more threads or cores. Plus, you can spend 75 bucks for a decent OC board, and not change the voltage and overclock it up to 4 ghz with a 212 Evo. You will then get similar performance where the i3 slightly surpasses: single thread usage. Other than that, bobs your uncle for the FX 63xx series.

nice proofs, in stock clocking.. and in intel dominated sphere,very nice.. *claps* is that repost from other thread which you trolled today?

The first link you posted, the 6350 is tied with the i3. Also, most of these games are made for intel, and not giving any advantage to your i3.

The very first link I posted was an i3-4130 matching an overclocked FX-6300 in a game that can use 6 cores.
I did not troll any thread. You were the one trolling by lying over and over again and refusing to post any evidence to back up your claims.

The FX-6350 is an overclocked FX-6300, which means the i3-4130 would beat the stock FX-6300.
You think BF4, the game that uses Mantle, was made for Intel? Nice joke.

Also, what happened to being rational? Not everyone is going to go buy a gpu that can completely max out these games with 4 to 8x AA. If I was buying a gpu that could do that, I'd most likely have the cash to buy an i7. So bring some real world proof please.

Proof where an actually GPU on a budget like this is being used. Not something like a r9 290x or 780 ti, more like a r7 270x or a 280?

That wouldn't change the order of CPU rankings - that would just limit the framerates (and push them closer together) from a GPU bottleneck.

random5 · Aug 23, 2014

for i3 nice pair would be GTX 650, majority of people which can afford, go for atleast i5 and not even look at i3, ones that can't as I always say, AMD is your friend for life,though intel G3258 is an option in some cases.

You never post an ounce of proof to go along with your ridiculous assertions.

better post no proof rather than ridiculous proof purposefully made with fortunes costing GPUs on ultra settings with games made specially to be compatible with intel. Atleast I haven't brought shame on myself with "proofs" like yours.

It will be going with a HD 7770.
