FX 6300 vs i5 4460

[a.j]

im bit confused between the fx 6300 and the i5 4460 and ik the i5 is much better because i had it before 
but im on a small budget so if i get the fx 6300 i can easily get gtx 780 or gtx 680 + ssd 
note that my main game is csgo i play it alot and i play dying light and gta v but not that much 
so i need ur advice which ik most of u will say the i5 is much much much better but plz understand that im on a small budget 
thx:)

Get 4460 for CS:GO.

 

CS:GO hates AMD.

csgo, gta v and dying light all favor CPU. The answer is very straight foward...

well i played all these games with a pentium g3258 on stock speed and had 0 issues so whats the problem again?

[You_are_a_cunt]

4460, as most multi-player games are rather CPU intensive rather than GPU-intensive.

The 4460 also gives more options to upgrade, since AM3+ is pretty much dead at this point and should only be used for extreme budget builds (as was my case when I bought my 4300)

i5 4460. no doubt.

 That a G3258 has twice the per-core peforfmance of an FX-6300. Per-core is favored in all three games.

Just no, get the 4460, or better yet the i5-6500.

You need to tell CS:GO to use all the cores which is to hard for the most noobs! (default is 3)

 

Edit:

1. Enable multi-core rendering!

2. Set launch options type in "-threads 6"

3. Works for i5 to just use "-threads 4" instead and "_" is not included!!!

It won't suddenly effectively use all cores to 100%. It just core-hops/spreads the 3 threads over those 6 cores. Meaning it won't oversaturate one in particular. Having a hard time believing such an old game, especially a game which is so intrinsic on timing, just scales to whatever cores you place in that startup value with no impact to timing. Especially in competitive, the timings will be much more restrictive.

It worked for me if I was wrong would the 860K not do better?

Just checked, avg CPU usage was 67-70% (3/4). All low settings, -threads 4, multicore rendering enabled and playing on a 980 with fps_max 0.

 

I was totally right, effective threads still 3. It was however, better distributed.

You did set multi-core rendering to on?

im bit confused between the fx 6300 and the i5 4460 and ik the i5 is much better because i had it before 

but im on a small budget so if i get the fx 6300 i can easily get gtx 780 or gtx 680 + ssd 

note that my main game is csgo i play it alot and i play dying light and gta v but not that much 

so i need ur advice which ik most of u will say the i5 is much much much better but plz understand that im on a small budget 

thx:)

i5 4460 beats fx 6300 in gta v, csgo, and dying light (even the i3 4330 does better than fx 6300 in dying light)

 

So i5 4460 anyday and no intel fanboyism intended

CSGO tuns fine on a potatoe.

 

point in case. i can get 100 FPS + with a overclocked Athlon 860k

[sportydodo]

No point in getting a worse cpu because changing them means you have to get a new mb sometimes, also it sucks if you cpu bottlenecks down the line when you have a good gpu. I would save your time and money investing in the better cpu.

I fucking love your picture.

If you have to give up on gtx 780 because of i5 4460 then I'll strongly recommend to get fx6300 because gpu is the most important component for gaming and i5 cannot cover up for a 780.

If you cannot afford the 4460, just get an i3. Those games dont run well on amd cpus.

[Shenkie]

well it depends..

Most of the time you should just spend like 300 euros on a mobo ram cpu combo in this range i think.

and matx is the way to go because its cheaper for about the same performance.

 

 intel just wins. i know its more expensive but srs... it has  so much more power than the 6300 (6300 is like a good i3 performance) with like a little bit more.

 

plus FX6300 is a good cpu but its matx support is realy bad... in fact you should do atx with this cpu cuz of all the heat.

 

and yes if you do atx than intel is maybe above 300 depends on the mobo but still...

 

 

So              intel                   

- cpu            4460   160

- mobo        matx    80

- ram           8gb     40

 about 280-300 

 

AMD

- cpu       fx6300  100

- mobo    atx        100

- ram        8gb      40

about 250-300

I'm getting around 120-150FPS average in CS:GO on maxed out settings with an 8350 so it's definitely playable...

at the moment i have a i3 4150 :3 lol nvm ill keep my i3 and buy gtx 960
