8350 still getting 60fps in gaming ?

[jjohnthedon1]

Just wondering if this cpu is still capable of getting 60 fps in 2016 and onwards aaa games ?

In some games, but it'll bottleneck anything more than an RX 580.

Gpu irelavent because Iv not mentioned resolution. 

I justs wanna know what the cpu is still capable of in gaming

[Damascus]

Pair it with a reasonable gpu (1060 6gb or 580 max) and it will do fine @1080p

I just told you. It'll perform fine with everything up to a 580.

As in, it will perform however the 580 does in most games with no problems.

So ur telling me if I run ultra low 480p the 580 would still get maxed out and all games would run at 400 fps ? No didn't think so

It depends on the game, and you asked how the CPU would do in gaming. I told you, no need to be a smartass.

Maybe it would help to formulate a more specific question?

 

If you asking if an 8350 is still viable.  I would say no, go with Ryzen if you still want red team.

 

if you already have an 8350, paired with an RX 580 at 1080p will be fine.

Yes it does 60fps fine enough, I think a few Ubishit titles like AC Unity are the ones that choke it a 50ish~

[jjohnthedon1]

Say it was paired with quad sli Titan xps

what is the cpu capable of ?

Here watch this

There is no quad SLI anymore, only 2 way

He asked hypothetically lol, to begin with a single Titan Xp would already be bottleneck therefore adding more cards would result in absolutely nothing but power consume.

 

I think the card wouldn't go past 40~45% usage ever

That's for sure. Even a 7700K bottlenecks a 1080 ti. GPUs are almost moving too fast for CPUs

Frankly I only like to use the word bottleneck when it limits user experience, I dislike saying an i7 7700k "bottlenecks" the 1080ti because even though it could be the case in theory nobody is realistically trying to play anything on those settings, low resolutions and so on any ways...

 

My i7 7700 is perfect when paired with my 1080ti to provide ultras/maxout on 2560x1080p at steady 80fps on demanding games like The Witcher 3, so the existence of a bottleneck is meaningless.

While a FX-8350 with a Titan Xp would certainly make all gaming experiences crappy and completely unbalanced hardware can throw the word bottleneck every where

But in theory 4k would be ok with vsync on ?

It's always been capable of getting 60fps, it just had a difficult time maintaining that framerate, due to the random dips/stutters. As others said, the game you play will drastically impact the degree to which the CPU is holding the GPU back. In MMO's (take Guild Wars 2 for example), the FX series was simply inefficient at maintaining a decent framerate due to how dependent that title was on individual core speed, rather than thread count. Older MMO's suffer this same fate, with titles such as Perfect World (and any other MMO running on the Angelica engine) performing poorly based on the number of players being rendered on screen. 

 

In AAA titles that still stress the GPU (and at higher resolutions), it's less of a big deal, but the random stutters for your 1% and 0.1% lows, are still worse than say, a faster Intel quad core (or now, Ryzen CPU's). This is why these CPU's got shunned for their gaming performance, as your minimum framerates (1%/0.1%) are basically the most important metric when gaming. They can make or break the experience. The better your minimums, the better the overall experience. 

 

Would I buy an FX CPU in this day in age? Probably not, but if you already own the platform and are trying to save money, it will certainly get the job done in the meantime.

Fully stable ;p

I gave my FX 8320 to a buddy of mine, and he still uses it primarily for gaming. If you have a decent board, running some higher clocked ram really helps. We managed to make 2200 C8-10-10-28-1 stable on his setup using some oldschool Samsung HYK0 kits (good ol magic memory). He also keeps it clocked at 4.5ghz on the core, and he hasn't complained about it.

 

It should be noted that he only plays RPG's and MMO's, so competitive titles where you need to drive higher framerates might not be ideal with that kind of CPU, but again, it all depends on what you want to play. He says Witcher 3 (his favorite game) runs just fine. 

[miagisan]

As someone still using a fx6300@4.6ghz as my primary driver, it still can do 60 fps on MOST GAMES with no problem. I have it paired with an r9 290x and it just perfectly runs it without a bottleneck. Just barely. 

 

Quad sli would definitely bottleneck

 

Also the gigabyte ud3 is a shitty OC board if I remember correct. The ud3p is the good overclocker.

I can vouch for the 8350/8370 (see sig), I have 60fps+ in all games I play @1080p max settings with the exception of ME:A and GTA5 (mix of high and medium) and even then their doing 70fps+ with frequent dips to 50fps-55fps (still smooth). DOOM does a roaring 110fps+ maxed. It REALLY depends on what you play as was said above  at 4K it stops being an issue and does slightly below KL and Ryzen.

 

its a 6yo CPU, even when it launched it wasn't top dog so why would you expect miracles now ?
