Hello i just purchase a I was wondering if I upgrade my GPU is this CPU a gaming cpu can it handle Wow bf3 call of duty ghost on high settings I was told I made a big mistake Also if not will this last me for 3 more years ?
amd fx6300
asus sabertooth 990fx mother board for Feature prof
seasonic 520 bronze ESP psu
Already own a radeon 7770 needs to be upgraded soon
1 terabyte seagate hard drive
8 gig of ram

Not a big of a deal , once this CPU is overclocked it will act like an i3 . Its decent when paired with an R9 270X.

It can last 2-3 more years depending on your usage.

Will the reason why I ask is because I purchase a fx4100 bulldozer with a radeon 7770 3 years ago in I get shitty fps but I'm able to play most games i throw at it I'm just hoping this 6300 will be a improvement with 1080p

It will definitely help , the 6300 is a good low-mid Range Gaming CPU and can compete with i3s when overclocked.

It'll help , no need to worry :)

Ok my room stays around 70f how hot would the chip get at 4.1 ghz?

At 4.2 it may get around the 60's C with a CM Hyper Evo 212.

The maximum safest temps are 65- low 70s for a long duration .

Thanks my CPU at 3800 gets like 42c but there is a temp that reaches 65c in its 20 Degrees off from all others

Hello... Your Passmark score shows a solid performing 3 physical core processor... http://www.cpubenchmark.net/common_cpus.html you're in the middle of the pack. Yes, go up another GPU Level at this time... http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/video_lookup.php?gpu=...


passmark and cpubench are bullcrap, especially for gaming cpu recommendations. Wish people would stop using these. fx6300 and core i3 are pretty much a toss up for gaming. Either is more than enough for a 7770. I cant say if it will last 3 years playing games at an acceptable FPS. just dont expect a solid 60fps for most games it wont achieve that.

compete with i3s... give me a break. Its not a bad cpu at all and for that price its a damn good buy. I understand you're on a tight budget at the moment but with the 990fx board you will be easily able to buy an fx 8320 and overclock it to match the 8350/70 speeds. (same cpu, just different clock speeds) buy a Coolermaster 212 evo to cool it and it'll be stable at those speeds, also wouldn't hurt to buy one right now. Also wouldn't hurt to jump to a 650-700watt psu so you can power a new gpu just fine.

It is a good cpu, but you'll need another gpu, throw in a r9 270 or a r9 280 and you'll be good to go.

Will I'm saving up for a r9 270 2g card for December. Also my room stays around 60f since I don't heat it in my cpu idles at 15c when i boot up but quickly gets too 72-75f so my case is pretty cold hoping my 6300 will do the same but hope I Can heat my room this winter So I dont get sick

Download AMD Overdrive from AMD's web site. Under "Status Monitor" look at "CPU Status" then look at your "Thermal Margin". This is the ONLY accurate gauge of your cpu's temp whether under load or idle.

look at that link, down the bottom are the gaming benchmarks. Pretty much on par....



I hope you understand that cinebench uses code that when it detects its being used by an AMD cpu to purposely give a shitty score.

I wasn't even talking about the other benches, i was pointing out the gaming ones down the bottom specifically showing the 6300 performs similar to an i3 for gaming. Still, for the OP, if he went intel he would be much more futureproofed as you have the option to upgrade to an i5 or i7 even with a cheap $50 motherboard. Where the 990fx is a comparitively expensive board and the best you can put in it is an 8350. But the 6300 should still last a few years before games become unplayable on it.

those 4000 & 6000 series FX aren't bad but you got the low end of both. should've gone for the FX-*350 versions. you won't be maxing out many games but playing at a decent fps won't be a problem for a little while longer. running FX-8350 @ 4.8GHz, that and my GTX 770 max out the settings on every game i've tried.

The FX series gets a lot of bad hype from people. I have a rig for my kids with a FX 4100 And a HD4650 which does ok for games on decent settings. My rig run a slightly overclocked FX 8320 (4.1Ghz) w/ AMD HD 7750 and it looks great playing BF4 and Crysis3 on high settings. I can imagine your experience will be simular. But I have found numbers (benchmarks) and people opions don't mean squat. Put it in and load a game and see for yourself.

i have found numbers (benchmarks too). and in bf4 and crysis 3 the fx series does do ok. But for quite a number of games equivelantly priced intel cpu's do a lot better. Its not that theyre bad, or have had bad hype for no reason, they do underperform in a number of games compared to similar priced intel cpu's. But with a 7750 its not going to matter as you'll be gpu bottlenecked anyway. I think its been shown your generally gpu bottlenecked in most games by most mid-range processors at 1080p until you go to a gtx770 or r9 280x or higher.

I wish someone like Toms would to a once and for all article about cpu/gpu botlenecking. Test a bunch of games over some common screen resolutions, 1080p & 1440p and maybe a triple monitor res, bunch of cpu's (3-4 tiers from amd and intel) across 3 or 4 tiers of graphics cards. Generall every cpu review has a fixed gpu they use, and its not normally what someone would pair with that cpu, and every gpu review uses a high end oc'd cpu, so its hard to guage what performance to expect from a particular setup, or if you will be bottlenecked by any particular thing.
