Daaaahhhh look what I gawt!!!

[KarateHottie93]

It's sooo pretty...!!!!!

 

The top one!

 

Quick Edit: Stop hating on my 8350! The 980 is for the 2600K below the 8350. The 8350 is going with a Fury Nitro I use three 1080P monitors for each computer and have had ALL OF THESE components in the past but sold years ago. The 8350 does NOT bottleneck MY setup in 90% of my use cases and it actually beats the 2600K in many tasks that take advantage of multiple cores. I have both, I've had both before...I know this more so than most who claim this and that. All of that aside...

 

THESE COMPONENTS ARE ALL FOR NOSTALGIA BUILDS!!!

 

Oh and one last thing...I've been on this forum longer than most of you have been building, so stop trying to big dick and go no life more old benchmarks.

Welcome to the pcmr

I hope you're not going to use that fx processor though...

[Spotty]

Why am I not surprised that the sort of person who buys an FX processor in 2019 is also the sort of person that runs around with their phone on 3% battery.

Both CPU buys are pretty bad by today's standards. 

 

I was more thinking to myself "Huh, paying $164 for a GPU that is nearly outclassed by the RX 580 8GB that can be had for that price on eBay, or for about $10-20 more a new one can be had."  Seems a bit odd to go that route and get only 4GB of vram when there are other ebay deals to be had on cards with 8GB of GDDR5.

People are so dumb. I've been on this forum longer than most active users. I was actually around when the 8350 and 2600K were current. I'm obviously building for pure fun but people are just so stupid and have to try and prove their knowledge...or lack of.

 

I had both CPU's in 2015 when I joined. There were no real world differences. Either one could beat the other depending on the task.

Alright there bud, don't worry about it

 

No one's doubting your experience, it's just we see a lot of inexperienced people here who think a 10 year old system is a good value for regular use. We're just trying to help.

Well, how dare you have fun. This isn't what this community is about. Fun. Pffft. I bet your PC doesn't even have glorious RGB

 

(Is my sarcasm implied enough?)

[bmichaels556]

I mean honestly, the FX-8350 wasn't so bad for it's time. It served me well for quite a while! And still does a respectable job using something like an RX 470/480. Still a bottleneck, sure. Biggest problem is power consumption.

 

But a better nostalgia machine (and what I'm using currently) would be dual Westmere Xeon build. About the same single-core performance (and therefore gaming performance) for the X5675, but you're running basically two CPU's (12 cores, 24 threads) for similar power consumption. And your whole system may actually cost LESS.

 

I'm at about $225 total for those Xeons, 24GB RAM etc...

I had dual Opteron's back in the Athlon X2 days. Dual CPU builds are out of my system lol.

[MisguidedChoices]

I have a similar build I put together with my girlfriend, basically a "nostalgia build" as it uses my old FX 8350, and GTX 950, still games Skyrim, and any other game she wants to play on medium/high settings no issues. So I definitely understand where you're coming from, it's not always about BEST PERFORMANCE MORE FPS that you can't necessarily even see without a high refresh monitor anyways, 60fps is fine for most gamers IMO.

2600k will abuse that FX chip with no regards for CPU life

Well since its an old AMD you can use it during winter as a space heater too, you still win either way

Not really. The performance difference between them is minimal at best outside of IPC.

 

Maybe if you're a no life gamer like most on here but it's not a gaming build.

Meanwhile I still use X58...

Same, but it's still a lot better than an AMD FX.

Yeah I agree, however all my friends with FX still don't believe me when I tell them that. What CPU you running?

 

Edit: Don't worry. I'm stupid. It's in your Bio haha.

You can see my PC specs on my signature:

Intel Xeon X5670 @ 4.44GHz, Asus P6X58D-E, 24gb Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz, Asus GeForce GTX 960 Turbo OC, 250gb Samsung SSD, 4tb and 2x 2tb HDD, Fractal Design Define R5

 

Currently I have the X5670 @ 4.32GHz because my cooler isn't that good.

I had an X5670 that I got for cheap, I then accidentally input the wrong values when overclocking and then killed it. Decided to move to the X5675 instead but I need to lap it. The temps on this thing aren't great even with a beefy air cooler and then changed to an AIO.

i'm not one to reeee about someone buying an fx, especially if it's for a nostalgia build, but the 2600K is an objectively better cpu.

Once again, I've had both before and a lot of those tests are biased. Throw anything at them in terms of multiple cores and you won't see a difference. In my virtual machines, the 8350 completely outclasses the 2600K. It's only better in IPC and a few other things that are optimized for Intel.

You are 100% wrong about the FX 8350 not bottlenecking the R9 Fury btw

 

I have two Fury Nitros one with an R7 1700 and one on an FX 8350 - that CPU bottlenecks the CRAP out of that GPU - its single core is not great at all.  I don't have to argue with you, I sit at my desk and prove it every day I need to. 

 

HOWEVER - I agree, its a great combo and the 980 will work well @ 1080p with it - but don't think its not bottlenecking on most titles.

 

When your CPU cant keep your GPU running 100%........

And no 30-45 FPS isn't ideal, its doable, I play in that zone on Ultra on my FX as well but we cant call it something it isn't! 

FX does way outperform my i5 3470 4c/4t, cant compare to the 2600k personally.
