FX 4300 Not good enough for Batman Arkham Origins

[flibberdipper]

well if you want to see how your CPU would perform with a GTX780 on maxed settings in those games...take a listen!

My first upgrade for my rig will probably be a Xeon anyways, since rendering takes FOREVER in Vegas, especially in 60FPS.

your graphics card is already pretty overpowered for this processor IMHO...your upgrade path make sense.

Bought Arkham Origins yesterday and my fx 4300 is bottlenecking it. So I got mad and I ended up ordering an asus z97k and a 4690k. I'm so done with amd chips bottlenecking my system (fx 4300 cannot even play minecraft in multiplayer @ 60FPS, but keep in mind that's because it's unoptimised and OGL)

 

This post is a warning to others who might get AMD because I don't think I can fix this, I put the game on the lowest settings and it still dropped constantly. If it's a game problem them I'd appreciate if you could tell me a fix, but other games do get bottlenecked by the fx 4300

Your kidding about the minecraft bt right? Because the Phenom 2 @ 1.66GHz in the HP DV6 I worked on played multiplayer with no lag, and with the view distance at far.

it's obvious the OP is having problems with the machine...he ordered a new motherboard for his CPU...he was on an old chipset that if i'm not mistaken does not even officialy support the AMD FX processors...

I can say, I'm... Impressed, to say the least, with this chip. I mean... A 20% bottleneck in a few of my games isn't all bad, TBH. And maxing BF3 at 1080p and still keeping above 50FPS average on a 64 player map (Noshahir Canals or something like that, my favorite map) isn't too bad. Like, these are the games it keeps 50FPS or more maxed. Sure... Minecraft isn't really GPU dependent (half the time it seems to care less if my 7950 exists), and I have the render distance down, but... Eh.

you play light games...not judging or anything but i understand better now yes, for such games the pentium is fine and a 280 GPU is overkill...except for BF3.

Then there's me. "Your G3258 must be holding you back SO much in almost every game you play!" The worst I've observed out of my most frequently played games is Far Cry 3 pinning my CPU to the wall and my 7950 hovering anywhere from 80-90% utilization. :mellow:

80-90% usage on a 7950? Well that just means your GPU is about to form the limit, you'll get like 20% more performance from a 5960x so its far from awful. Only Watch Dogs has been running awful for me with 2 cores, BF4 I managed getting almost GPU bound (for the most part I was).

CPU usage is always 100% in all my games with just 2 cores but CPU usage doesn't matter a thing if your GPU is capped out all the time or extremely close to be the limit.

Those are more or less maxed though. I haven't played Bioshock Infinite yet to see how it does.

Ok so I installed the new mobo and cpu but im on stock cooling since i don't have any thermal paste spare, anyways heres what I have learned.

Batman: Arkham City was only a small bottlneck with the cpu, with my 4690k the game runs at 60 CONSTANT not 60 with a couple dips.

Borderlands 2: Worlds better, I don't know why this game is so cpu intensive but it runs SO much better on intel, 60 constant exept with huge explotions etc. much better than the fx chip

Minecraft: Runs better, 60fps constant, exept... when im in a multiplayer pvp server once i start fighting it can drop down to 30 and fighting is when you dont want your fps to drop...

That's all i've tested so far, and so far it's good, better.

Your FPS drop while fighting in Minecraft multiplayer? That's a little odd as my i5 4440 stays above 100FPS all the time.

my cpu usage isnot at 100% though

[Dabombinable]

That's to be expected though, Minecraft relies heavily on a single core.

hm interesting considering intel has better per core performance..

old post i know but i had to create an acount here just to let you know that i've played Arkham Origins 720p 30-40fps low-medium with athlon x2 5400+ 2.8ghz  2gb ddr2 ram and 9600gt 512mb 256bit without any stuttering return to console gaming u peasant fuck if you can't disable autoupdates,maintenance,wdefender clean your crappy registry defrag or install proper driver/ prerequisite software like .net c++ or dx.

[PlayStation 2]

Although for 10 dollars less, you can get a FX 6300!

It's not your 4300. It's something else.

wait what

why are you hijacking an old thread

If you say so.

 

Phenom II and GTX 580 at high res.

Just warn it to people who buy FX CPUs.......

I bought mine over 2 years ago now and still get shit for buying it from people like you. I am more than happy with my FX 6300 and will be keeping it for the foreseeable future until something actually worth the money comes out on either Intel or AMDs side. I think Skylake was a joke (it is) so I wouldn't be talking if I were you.

Why are all these old threads getting posted in o_o I just realized I replied to a post from back in January....

Haha yea I hate when this happens, I don't always look at the post date (shouldn't have to) but guess I will now cause wow I look stupid

[Nena Trinity]

You should be able to play that game on an FX4...  Maybe your motherboard is causing throttling?  Either way, you will be worlds better off with an i5.

 

 

This!

It's like saying i got Fo4 4 months ago and i though it was great but now it's bad.

There we go, we both made the same mistake anyway.
