FX 6300 gaming

[Zeako_]

So I am wondering if paired this with my r7 370 Strix 4gb will do a decent job at video editing some light gaming (Mainly Minecraft) and some streaming.

 

I was also thinking the 8320E because it's 8 Core. 

Either one of these choices will be paired with a CRYORIG H7 and not overclocked maybe a little as I know FX cpu run hotter. 

 

Before everyone says "Get a 4460" I just want to know if the $70 or $50 is THAT worth it. Sure there is upgrade options but I am not worried about that I am fine getting a new Mobo to upgrade. 

 

Thanks :0

Honestly, the 4460 is THAT worth it. 

[Skeletonfish]

it'll do fine for light gaming and video editing (not 4K or anything crazy) the 6300 that is. your R7 370 should do just fine. but if all youre paying more is $50-$70 it would be worth it in the long run.

I see you have an 8320 how is it doing for you or what do you use your PC for (Gaming, rendering, livestreaming) and how does it perform in those tasks

The 6300 and R7 370 is a great pair. Just stick with it for a while longer cause you wont notice as big of a difference as people make it seem on this forum. Fallout 4 will take advantage of the 2 extra core/threads to (assuming you play that) so agian it wont be a big difference, not worth it that is. 4790k is another story.

 

Edit: I have a FX 6300 and GTX 760 and the thing performs amazing for what it is.

Does the 6300 do well in some 720p video editing and livestreaming

Yea it actually does amazing, if you are doing video editing also you will benefit with more cores. If you want to jump to Intel then I would say wait till you can afford a 4970k, Xeon or even go skylake with a 6700k. Ya 6300 is more than fine and actually better for you in that case

If you are thinking about intel then grab this cheaper than the i7 4790 with the same amount of cores & threads.

I personally really like my 8320, I use this computer for gaming and a little bit of creative work now and again (Photoshop, video editing) and a lot of multitasking the, downsides i see right now is 1. it puts out a fair bit of heat (I don't have/need a heater in my room) 2. it draws a lot of power. im starting to become more energy conscious recently (call me a tree huger, whatever) but idle my rig draws 100W-150W (probably also have my 270x to blame). 3. I do most of my creative stuff on my laptop with a I7 3632QM and that will beat my FX any day in video editing or anything more CPU intensive.

the first 2 problems can be kinda eliminated with the 8320e. Not entirely however

If you're looking to do a lot for streaming/video editing its worth the extra cash for an I5 or I7 but if you're just casually doing it then its better to stick with what you got till you need the upgrade

[Rylie59]

FX 6300 is just fine for the r7 370. I have the FX 6300, and it does fine in pretty much everything I do.

Yes. You get a more modern feature set, the 4460 can handle at the very least 1 980ti, so there is plenty of room for upgrades, and they run just fine on the stock cooler with no need for an aftermarket cooler and motherboard with at least a 5 phase CPU VRM.

No problems here, my friend has a 6300 he has no issues, I'd recommend a 8370e with a sabretooth board then overclock til the cows come home, people have been hitting 5.2ghz in the FX club on overclock.net. Recently watched Pythagotron on twitch 24hour stream fallout 4 with his 8350 blah blah blah, if you already have the FX 6300 just use it, any issues with it then pick up a 2nd hand 8350 on ebay for dirt cheap. There are people selling off AMD stuff for skylake I saw a sabretooth with an 8320 for under £150 here in the UK which is a steal, especially if you're streaming.

And that'd put the costs to more than an i5 that performs better in all games, close in multithreaded tasks, and requires a good cooler.

A locked i5 will never beat a fx8 in multi-thread.

We are talking a 8 "core" cpu that at stock settings scores higher in Cinebench R15 multi-thread then a higher clocked and unlocked 4690k

[ybriK]

Either FX 6300 or 8320 will do fine with multitasking, even better when it's overclocked. In terms of pure gaming any Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell or Skylake i5 will have an edge in terms of single thread performance which greatly reduces any potential bottleneck in CPU hungry games such as Arma, Witcher and GTA.

Did I ever say beat? No.

uhm, are we talking witcher 1, Witcher 2 or Witcher 3??

because Witcher 3 sees the FX performing pretty decently. While in Witcher 1 & 2, it sucks balls. I know, because i were still using my FX 8320 when i was playing W1 and W2

In what world does a stock 8320E beat an overclocked 4690k in R15?

in the world were people read other peoples posts, does not misquote and warp the truth to fit their own needs.

in that world, it will.

FX-6300 will be a great match with a 370!
