Hi guys...
I'm looking for a good cpu speed to play games like bf4 on ultra.
I have been able to overclock my fx6300 to 4,5GHz with it only reaching 50•c on prime 95, but I am wondering if it is really necessary?
What speed do I really need for gaming on ultra?

Thanks in advance

Frequency is only a measure of speed for a given architecture and design. To get more performance you would need to upgrade to an 8320, or start looking at Intel i5s and i7s.

That's about as far as you'll want to go with an FX-6300. I doubt you'll see any significant increase in performance from increasing it further.

Your graphics card also affects game performance. No use having the best processor in the world if the graphics card is not up to the job.

Why not just record your average FPS and then downclock and do it again? A PC is a sum of parts and your bottleneck may be entirely different to someone elses. That said if your PC is happily running at your current speed and you're happy with the temps (for long term longevity) then why worry in the first place?
