CPU Upgrade worth it? hm...

[Marscoy A.]

Good morning,

 

I wanted to ask if it would be worth it to upgrade my current CPU FX-4300 to an FX-6300? I hope you can understand i can´t currently effort a new PC or other major upgrades. THANKS IN ADVANCE !

 

I am asking because i have kinda annoying FPS stuttering in Fortnite (especially in Tilted Towers or when much is build). Since my latest GPU upgrade from a GT 730 1GB GDDR5 to a RX 560 it got a lot better tho but it´s still there to the point it´s annoying when i am trying to build fast and so (FPS & Input delay is very important in building). Ask me if you need some more informations

 

My current PC:

 

OS: Windows 7 (x64bit) also tried Windows 10

CPU: FX-4300 3,8GHz OC to 4,3+ with stock aircooling

GPU: ASRock Phantom Gaming RX 560 2GB ver. (Core Clock 1176MHz to 1270MHz, default mem. speed 1500MHz, fan speed to 40% all the time))
Motherboard: GA-78LMT-S2P rev. 5.x

Ram: 6GB 1x 4GB & 1x 2GB (can´t tell which brand)

Try obtaining an 8-core like the FX 8300, 8320, 8350 or 8370. And a decent cooler.

Also, having more RAM would help you.

@Marscoy A.

This is only a synthetic test so it's not really showing real-world performance but for single core performance, there is little difference while in multi-core workloads the 6300 would be better. It's such a small difference that I don't think it would improve much.

No. Just save a bit for a Ryzen 1200 + mobo and ram. Pre-ryzen amd is not worth it at all IMO

i would try and get some money for something like a r5 1600, 2600 or zen 2 equivalent

Unless you can get an FX-8350 or something for like... idk, whatever is considered really cheap for that, $30? I'd just save up for a cheap Ryzen set up, as mentioned above.

6300 + overclock. Some people are Ok with this setup, CPU is max. in 90s %(But some people have FPS drop even with this CPU, CPU is 100%, maybe RAM size/speed/power supply). So it depends.

 

Better to get FX 8000/9000-series. (Power supply upgrade?)

 

Or cheap Ryzen 1 + AM4 + RAM combo. Nobody should buy FX series in these days, anyway. You got better upgrade path in future. Choose FX if you got only very tight budget or can't wait to save more.
