Is Amd fx 6300 and a gtx 960 good together

[Matrix13]

I am going to build a AMD build with a 960 as my GPU. I have compared the fx 6300 to what Intel has to offer and it seems to be better perform for less gigahertz and cores. I am confused.  . 

[Godlygamer23]

The 6300 will likely play just fine with the 960.

please don't buy a 6300

It's a dead platform as of now.

Look for an i3-6100 or similar and swap the 960 for a 380

why would it be dead??

No, the fx 6300 isn't even comparable in performance to an intel cpu of the same price. Take it from someone who has bought one. It may look really powerful with 6 cores, but what you have to realize is that AMD cores are so weak, that it takes about 2 amd cores to be roughly equivalent to 1 intel core. Intel cores are individually more powerful. Buying an AMD cpu is a bad decision you WILL regret.

AM3+ has no path left for upgrading. Zen will be using a different socket.

AMD hasn't released a new CPU for the am3+ platform for 4 years

I disagree with this. My NAS is powered by an AMD APU, and it's just fine. Bear in mind, this NAS handles Minecraft as well as normal NAS functions as well.

It doesn't take much to run minecraft...

 I have looked up and it seems that the i3 is about 7 fps down in performance then the fx 6300. But they both render video the same rate?

But you're also acting like anyone who buys an AMD will actually cry out "WHAT A SHITTY PURCHASE THIS WAS!" I wholeheartedly do not agree with that mindset.

well they will when they decide they wanna run something more than minecraft XD. Or atleast I did. Just giving my opinion based on personal experience.

It depends on the task at hand. In situations like 7-Zip, the 6300 even has the ability to best a 3570K. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/57615-amd-vishera-fx-6300-fx-4300-review-7.html

I do believe Amd's integrated graphics is better.

age does not matter if performance is there.

 

the whole "its 4 years old, must be shit"...

Sandy bridge is 4 years old and works just fine. So stuff it.

 

FX is still a poor choice though, that is true.

FX does not have intergrated graphics. Only the A series APUs does. And the "FX8800p" which is the top of the line laptop APU

For the chips that have it, yes. That seems to be the focus with the APUs - acceptable CPU performance, while having great GPU performance(for the price).

FX-6300 is a great value for its price but there is only the FX-83X0 as upgrade which normally require a 125w supporting motherboard, what motherboard are you getting for the FX-6300?

If I get a gtx 960 what will the performance be with direct x 12 on windows 10

I do, however, want to add this caveat.

Outdated benchmark... (FX should have much better scores in DX12)

Want FX-8370 to?

never compare absolute numbers between different benchmarks.

 

Yours is overclocked to 4,5ghz.

 

My numbers are relative and thus much more useful.

Well my 860K manages more than those FX-43X0s it should be near 59fps like my 860K...

absolute numbers < relative numbers.

emprical testing < anecdotal testing

 

I've told Don_Svetlio and you this a thousand times already.

The problem with this benchmark is it's unrealistic, and it's one benchmark. The usefulness of it is subjective at best, and not useful at all at worst. We need more numbers before we can judge the performance of components using DX12. Also, the game is running on low - yes, I understand the point, but it's the same problem that I have with benchmarks that only showcase "low quality" benchmarks. Most people will not be running the game on low(at least at first), and therefore that needs to be taken into consideration. By only benchmarks such as the one above, you are only telling one side of the story, and not being 100% accurate.

I buildnanosuits guy told me 860K is a gimped FX even if he is wrong he claims the FX-43X0s should be better! (also I cannot OC my 860K!)
