Just Curious...

[byalexandr]

...How fast is the 9590? I know it's a terribly hot chip that's just an OC'd 8350, but I'm genuinely curious if it can even compete with a mid tier i5 (4460 or 4690K). Any thoughts? I know it will wreck in rendering but for everything else? Will it still bottleneck higher end cards?

 

I'm not considering getting one, my 290 is already enough of a space heater.

 

Edit: Dang I can't type for shit today.

it's basically a well overclocked 8350. It doesn't compete with 4690k in games. It gets slapped by i7's. And yes it will bottleneck high end cards.

I mean, it's fast, but it doesn't keep up with the high-end Intel chips for most applications.

 

I have one and it seems to keep up with my 970 fine, but probably just barely.

 

You don't want it.

I don't want it, I had an FX 6300 and even that was a pain in the ass. I was jsut curious if all the MHz gave it any more significant increase in performance (in stuff that REALLY matters).

Its interesting, because its pretty fast for crunching stuff because of the cores, its almost on 4790k turf, but for gaming its useless

 

I think it bottlenecks anything more beefy than a 970

its basicly a cherry picked 8350 thats OC'd to hell.

 

if your application of choice can make use of all 8 cores its a chip to consider, if it wasnt for the fact it uses half a nuclear power plant worth of power, and unleashes that into your cooler. (not to mention you need a mobo that doesnt catch fire when providing that much power)

 

on the flip side, its still a turd compared to intel on games that use 4 cores or less, and use those heavily.

 

EDIT: should add, i usually call fx chips "numbercrunching and overclocking toys" because they're a relatively cheap chip that does both of those, and its less bad if you kill it than if you kill an intel equivalent.

Interesting indeed.

So it's a beast at multithreaded stuff but shit at anything else. Just like the rest of the FX line.

Pretty much exactly that

i saw an fx6300 bottleneck a 970 in valley the other day, it made me a sad panda...

(i'm guessing it was a bottleneck, because i honestly dont believe my strix beats any other 970, certainly not with the airflow it has)

FX 6300 bottlenecks the 970 in everything, not just Valley. I used to own one and even OCing to 4.2GHz barely kept up with my old 760, and I suppose it could only take a card a bit higher of a tier.

That doesn't surprise me, I was just thinking in most scenarios it would be a "decent" companion to a 970

 

It might be getting pushed down the list, especially with better APIs coming around 

 

Zen pls come soon

I'm really hoping Zen pulls through, at least AMD is not overhyping it this time around. I love AMD though, really hate to see it struggle.

Depends on the game, but overall it's a worse performer than Intel by far. You can look at average framerates all day and see it performing "fine", but what you don't see are frame times and frame drops that just make some games unplayable for anyone who wants to max out good looking games and not have a lot of trouble doing it.

the entire fx line is basicly "multithreaded performance at a budget" and the 9000 parts are basicly that, but at higher clocks, and higher levels of sun surface temperature.

As am I, I really hope it gets them back on their feet and pushing the market again 

 

It was them making Intel sweat that helped bring so many good chips to the market, I just hope they stay competitive 

 

And I have a soft spot for AMD products deep down

Yep, used to happen to me a lot. It's way better with my i3, no frame drop or anything (at least not due to my CPU... stupid HDD).

Lol the other day I was benchmarking in Valley and the temp for my 290 read at like 2,008,000C or something like that.
