AMD build upgrade

Go to solution Solved by Necrodead,

Unless you really really want better graphics in the games you're playing you don't have much reason to upgrade. Actually I have a link here to my personal computer which is 2x r9 290's and an 8320 OC'd to 4.7ghz. There is a huge performance increase for the 2nd card at 1440p for games like GTA 5 if you want to run on high(or max) settings. However if you are at 1080p I wouldn't worry too much about the 2nd card unless you want that tiny increase for lots of money.
 
As for people telling you that the FX series will bottleneck your cards, it will at 1080p, and it will at 1440p. However if you OC to about 4.5ghz the FX becomes about as good as a non OC'd i5 or i7 and there really isn't a huge difference in frame-rates anyways.

Its his money, why are you so worked up? Go and find an intel vs AMD thread and post there please.

I am trying to make his experience better, even if he or you for some reason doesn't like it. I don't get why are you so defensive since you obviously know I am right.

 

so it doesnt seem like amd will release a product soon no? what about the fury x? didnt that come out about a few weeks ago? xD 

completely different sector. They promised new cpu's in 2016, but so far we haven't seen any kind of proof of actual product. Might as well have drawings with crayons.
