So technically I upgraded but...

HippoZoned · Jul 15, 2015

So I recently purchased a FX 8350 because I am a YouTuber and a Streamer and I needed a performance upgrade however I owned and used an FX 6300 and I got pretty good performance 40-100 fps on bf4 and at least 30 fps on other games even games like shadow of mordor arkham knight and gta 5. But since u record I needed something that could perform better and I chose the 8350 but now I'm kinda feeling like I made a $160 mistake. Was it worth the upgrade?

Current Rig:
CPU - FX 6300
GPU - R9 280x 3gb vram
MB - 990FXA
RAM - 16gb 1600
PSU - 750w

Other programs I run
After effects, Photoshop, Sony Vegas DxTory, xSplit

In my opinion it was 160 dollar mistake sorry to say. I though about doing the same a while back and ultimately decided not to but i am primarily a gamer. How much better do your other programs run with the 8350?

Definitely worth the upgrade the 8350 performs alot better than a 6300 especially in cpu boumd games you will get a smoother experience also those extra cores help a lot when running multiple programs so dont doubt yourself you definitely upgraded

Fullmetalalkami :

The vast majority of games wont fully utilize 6 cores let alone 8. The performance difference between the fx 6300 and 8350 at the same clock speed is almost non existent for games.

But if hes streaming to youtube while recording his games there will be a slight edge for the 8350, not massive but any performance boost is good and by sounds of it OP has already bought the cpu

Yes I did ita I. Route for delivery and I could always try to sell the 6300 to get some money back.

And the slight boost I'm predicting probably won't be worth the investment. I did seebit being beneficial for when I stream but other than that I don't see it being logical, it was a snap purchase one I didn't think about first and now that I am it seems like a waste I should have at least went 9590 if I wasnt gonna go Intel...

Is it installed? If not can you not send it back for refund?

Theres Some difference http://www.anandtech.com/show/6396/the-vishera-review-amd-fx8350-fx8320-fx6300-and-fx4300-tested/5
Also the 8350 will be a better choice if you plan on upgrading gpu down the line

No its not installed its in route for delivery. I think their may be a restocking fee
