Not sure about CPU choice

AffectedRyan

As a "soon to be new PC gamer" I sold all of my consoles ans even my TV to begin the road to PC gaming. Besides all the AMD Intel fan wars, is it really a big deal that I got the FX 9590? Is it a huge mistake? Keep in mind I went for an Xbox one to a rig worth around 4k. Are we not just splitting hairs at this point with my experience?

 

I really would like to know!

 

Waiting for the new AMD cards. Maybe a Titanx x2 SLI to run 144hz over 3 displays.

Your money would have been better spent on a 4690k or 4790k tbh. It's not the end of the world but you would have gotten alot better gaming performance out of an intel solution.

Its not as well suited to pc gaming, so yes your going to get hate on this forum for that

 

But as far as video encoding/editing and CAD work with a good graphics card, that CPU can smash shit

 

Its not going to perform as well as a 5960x of course, but it gets the job done

 

You will bottleneck that for sure with a dual titan-x setup though

Yea with that budget of yours...its WAY better to go with Intel....AMD HAS SHITTY CORES.......if you pair that with two titans it will bottleneck......just get a unlocked i5. Also you might need a decent cooler for that CPU......a decent Liquid cooler if you don't want the thing burning your house down

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT

AMD is the worst to game with. It is either hit or miss. Some games are utter shit playing with an AMD CPU but others work fine. Depends what games you play

Basically you can get something that performs a lot better for the same amount of money.

Is it something I will really notice? Thats my fear! Keep in mind form and XBox one to this rig? Will I, in anyway be disappointed?

It is a 8370 with a huge TDP, and a $800 MSRP. When it is just an overheating mess.

In the future, you may notice stuttering.

Oh boy...

Most of that price is 4 displays and the 2 GPu's but I am still waiting on the new AMD cards to make a decision.

Yes, that CPU will bottleneck even a 970 let alone a Titan X. This is because the architecture used on the CPU is deprecated and old and the IPC (instructions per core) are abysmal.

You wont be disapointed and you'll still have a nice rig that will handle pretty much anything you throw at it, but you're missing out on a fair bit of performance with the AMD option.

Whats wrong with an AMD CPU for 4k gaming rig?.

At 4k you are gpu limmited mainaly, so a FX9590 will be totaly fine.

Interested, What should I get GPU wise to take full advantage of this chip without bottlenecking???? I don't want to waist money but at the same time I want to run 3 144 h displays while gaming aaa titles.

i7 4790k>fx 9590

 

Although at higher resolutions, it really doesn't matter what the performance of the cpu is, just the gpu, or gpu's in this case. At those high resolutions the performance is about the same, you lose a lot of features the i7 has over the 9590 like lower heat output, power usage, and hell, I could just pull up the intel ark page of the i7 4790k and see all those features with a yes next to them? The fx 9590 ain't got them.

Uhhh your rig is worth 4k?

It will be when I finish buying the GPU's I decide on as well as the displays.

Your CPU wont get bottlenecked your GPU would and the most I'd pair with an AMD fx chip is a 280x... :3

If you can I would return it. If not. Maybe a R9 290X?

Also, AM3+ is dead.

R9 290x crossfire for a 3 screen 144 hrz display maybe? I would love an avg of 100 fps on ultra on games like hardline not to mention heavy mods on Skyrim. No I cannot return the chip :(
