FX-9590 Upgrade to i7-6700k

[dextroid17]

Hi, I have an AMD FX-9590 and I wanted to change to Intel, is it worth it to upgrade to i7-6700k? Any suggestion or comments?

[bcredeur97]

I think it's a good upgrade. Lot more single-core performance.

[OAcesync]

Totally worth the upgrade 

[PlayStation 2]

As someone who's used a Bulldozer FX and a Sandy Bridge Xeon E3, yes.

[FuzzyYellow]

go for it.

Not really. with dx 12 coming multi core performance NOT per core will mean more in the long run and you barely gain that much per core anyways, waste of time, effort and money tbh.

JUST............

DO IT

if you call like 300 "LOTS more" lmfao i wouldnt. not much different from per core from 8350 to 9590. same shit going from 9590 to skylake. its not enough to warrant all the effort, unless you really just hate amd.

yeah,dx12 has benefited amd,but intel still wins so,its worth the upgrade.And not only in gaming.in rendering and so on the i7 is better

[Nena Trinity]

I would wait for Zen or 7th gen but yes its a upgrade indeed!

[RuLeZ]

I wouldnt change.. unless you really need it, whats the rest of the your system? And what do you want to do with that?

[rtpb5642]

Its worth it for the fact your room will be 10 degrees cooler. And better performance too.

Yeah, with all the dx12 games AMD as a chance at beating Nv... oh wait

Its not that I hate amd, Im just having issues like sudden freeze, when its idle and you do games, it freezes. Even on editing videos, installation of programs or games it freezes. I haven't encountered this kinds of issues before..

 

And the thing is I haven't overclock it yet.

 

This is the problem I've encountered for the past year and its bugging me now...

If u do multi core stuff, assuming as you have a 9590 in the first place, go for 5820k or higher.same price more cores 1-3fps difference from i7 6700k

Thank you for your feedback, i'll put that on my checklist

[applesuxD]

U wot m8?

Dont put nvidia and dx12, they dont match yet.

I really hope amd zen rapes intel,i aint a fanboy but if we really want cpus to grow faster we need amd

[Sintezza]

depends on your usage realy.

if gaming is the main focus then the 6700k is worth it.

If you do gaming and productivity? go 5820K

[applesuxD]

If ur from usa,6700k save up to 100 depending on whcih mobo u get

You see the difference between the 8370 and 6700K no? Nvidia's lack of scaling has got jack to do with the CPU performance. But just for sake of completeness;

This is the main reason I'm forced to upgrade :wacko: ...

This is the problem I've encountered for the past year and its bugging me now...I cant play online games anymore :angry:

Hmm, I've had this issue with my old FX-6300 system. It's very annoying but I thought it was to due with the motherboard.
