phenom ii x6 1055t worth upgrading?

[fplayer]

so i have a phenom ii x6 1055t 2.8ghz should i upgrade it to fx8350 or something(intel?)

i need new mobo if i upgrade to fx8350 because my mobo doesnt support fx series. MORE MONEY.

 

i am using my pc for games no video editing or other stuff and i dont have much money

Is your current performance unsatisfactory? 

It would help to list your specs.

[Manny Calavera]

can you oc that cpu, whats that mobo?

what cpu cooler you have?

 

If you just buy cpu cooler and OC a bit, then you dont need to buy new.

i feel like cpu is limiting me in Battlefield 4

specs added to first post

 

Are you sure your mobo doesn't support it? Not even with a bios update? What mobo do you have?

 

I did the same upgrade last year and I'm happy with it. I already had a mobo that supported it, though. 

 

Overall, if you feel like the CPU is limiting you, you could look in to upgrading. If everything's working fine, I don't see a reason to upgrade.

I checked ASUS website and it doesnt support it.

What's your gpu usage when gaming?

moar voltage! 

 

you can run 3.5ghz 24/7 ? Try playing 2.8 or whatever is stock vs 3.5

like 80% my lowest fps is 45 but i want minimum 60

voltage is at auto at bios. when i look at cpuz, voltage is 1.37-1.45 changing. maybe this is the reason why its not stable and i didnt try 7/24 i just did 1-2 hours stress testing

Oc'ing the cpu a bit might help.

What are your in game settings?

[harrynowl]

That CPU is begging to be overclocked

 

K10 is still potent today, at 3.8ghz or so (4ghz would be great:D) it'd probably beat FX 6 cores.

learn to overclock it to 3500mhz (250*14) and be done with it, if your gaming performance isnt goon enough for you then you need a new gpu. 
otherwise rock on!

edit-well its not bottlenecking you so you're gpu limited.
i get that score with a phenom quad at 4ghz (give or take) and that hasnt held be back at any point.

There is nothing better to upgrade to and would require a new motherboard. You might want to look into an i3/new motherboard if your looking for an upgrade, or even try to find an i5 on sale or used.

why would i "upgrade" to i3 from phenom ii x6?

[deguzi]

idk. im still using my phenom 1045t in my 2nd rig and it's serving me well in games. for editing, i use my main rig, but if you're just gaming with that 760, not sure how much of a gain will be achieved jumping to an 8350 or an i5/i7. An overclock definitely helps and keeps it rock solid in performances. 

 

edit: this may give more help if needed

I watched this video 10 times but his mobo and stuff is different and doesnt work for me. as you can see here ( http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/181712-cpu-drops-to-1ghz-sometimes/ ) i have some overclock problems

You said you were tight on a budget, so an i3 would be slightly better than the phenom, and will give you upgrading options to the most popular gaming chip (i5). I would strongly recommend with that setup you jump directly into an i5 if possible, it will save you money in the long run:

 

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($196.98 @ SuperBiiz) 

Motherboard: ASRock H87 Pro4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($92.98 @ SuperBiiz) 

Total: $281.01

Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

 

Of coarse that doesn't comply with your original request, that's why I said to try to find a used i5 locally.
