Hi All,
While comparing i5 4690K and FX 8350, I noticed a price difference of $80. i5 hovering around $220 and fx around 160
Is the price difference worth the performance gain or am I better off spending the difference on a better graphics card ?
I am build a system with r9 390 and i5 4690K but if I switch to fx 8350, I can get a in 390x instead.
What are your thoughts ?
I really don't think FX can bottleneck a single 390x but in future, I will however have 2 of the cards card (whichever I get) in crossfire.
Will FX be a deal breaking bottleneck in that case ?
I plan on decent overclocking but nothing extreme.
Games I will be running will be fps, assasin creed types and Total Wars (This one I believe is a cpu intensive one)
Side question - Do you think with dx12 in future, the extra cores on FX might lower the performance difference even more ? (However I do understand FX beating i5 even with dx12 is highly improbable)
PS - The system will be strictly for gaming and some streaming
