FX 6300 vs i3 4130 @ 1600MHz RAM

[don_svetlio]

This is interesting - in Witcher 3 the FX was doing better than the i3 - I'd say it's worth a watch

Another test with another AMD with another Shit motherboard.

[JebKerman]

Slightly off topic: holy balls the 6100 utterly smoked the other 2, especially at the higher frequency.

 

interesting none the less. but i guess the lack of an upgrade path from the FX still applies.

I usually find people who buy an i3 don't really go to an i5 at all so the FX 6300 maybe makes more sense for people who don't wnat to upgrade at a lower price point. Modern games use 6 cores pretty well apparently

Now imagine if they did the test with a better board and overclocked the RAM for the FX to make it a touch more fair...

Or even OC the 6300 to 4.2GHz?

As much as people like to crap on AMD, the reality is that for 3 year old technology, it isn't bad and still holds up well. If it was truly crap, it wouldn't be on the market people

[Benji_w]

970 krait will oc the 6300 to 4.5 with oc genie on its own. Bored of comparison tests because most of the time they're not fair. Overclocking the CPU, HT, NB and RAM for the FX would make it a viable option but people look at half arsed tests and throw it out the window.

Another test with another AMD with another Shit motherboard.

non shit motherboards cost more than fx 6300 itself.

[comicsansms]

I am now even happier with my PC.
I am now going to recommend the FX 6300 again

[comicsansms]

non shit motherboards cost more than fx 6300 itself.

That is sadly true!

[Benji_w]

Krait barely breaks the bank and you dont need an over the top one due to low TDP of the 6300 also I knew you'd be here as soon as someone said those 3 letters...

 

Also incorrect

 

Krait board £70.76

6300 £81.16

 

Quick google, probs find them cheaper.

[don_svetlio]

Not really - not more expensive than the H97 boards

Yes, but it's still not worth it in the end

Factor in DDR4 please

People didn't believe me when I said my R9 280 was holding back my FX 6300 in GTA V.

Wow a whole 2 dollars! Thanks grandma! 121 dollars for a dual core cpu, no thanks!

[ZetZet]

Factor in DDR4 please

factor in faster and ddr4 has already fallen in price. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-memory-ct8g4dfd8213 same price.

4 threads. Cooler cost not included.

Factor in you're an intel fanboy.

/discussion I'm now adding you to ignored users list because I've had enough of your pointless shit posting.

45$ for 1x8DDR4

30$ for 2x4DDR3

yeah...

What the fuck are you talking about. i3 6100 is faster IN EVERY game in that benchmark. Especially if you look at minimum framerates. It doesn't dip, which is massive for any person who plays any game at all.

30$ for 2x4DDR3

yeaaaah, massive difference, especially when you start lying about ddr3 prices. cheapest ddr3 2x4 kit is 35, this is 40. AND ITS FASTER.

[Benji_w]

DAT BUDGET THO!

Thing is - for that price + DDR4 premium, i5 4460 is just a better option

[Benji_w]

He is always harping on at me about budget and value then goes on to tell me to pay more for an i3 instead... Fanboy logic

[ZetZet]

actually no, 4460 alone is $164

 

 

yes it's better if you can spend more, but in that price range when comparing i3 6100 to fx6300, 6100 wins 10 times out of 10.

you

are

delusional

 

 

i just gave you links to prove that i3 6100 is cheaper.
