Which one is better for a gaming computer with an r9 280x gpu?

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 26, 2015

I would go with the 4460.

It pairs better with the card.

MarkW :

All the extra cores and the ability to overclock don't make the fx 8320 better?

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 26, 2015

Nope Intel will run better.

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 26, 2015

I own both go with the 4460.

4 Intel cores are better for gaming than 8 AMD cores.
