Which AMD processor is good for gaming ?

[Aaron Hossain]

Hi guys , So I want to know which AMD processor is best for gaming my budget is 200-250$ , well I have seen some comparison with the FX  8370 vs i5 6600K but it seems like I'm desperate to have an AMD processor this time ..but I would take your opinions on the Intel processors as well  So please let me know which processor is better at the moment and for future proofing .

 

 

And another question if a processor don't have Integrated graphics does that mean it will must need an external graphics card ? 

 

Thanks I will wait for your reply .

that's kinda obvious...

Today for gaming AMD has no place. An Intel 4690k is proberbly the sweetspot for gaming. Overclocks like a champ as well.

Just wanted to make sure ..lol

At the moment, if you can afford it, Intel is much better for gaming(unfortunately) , however the 8370 is a very good cpu for its price, when oc'ed its fairly quick, if you want better future proofing go with the 6600k due to it using ddr4,

So should I buy this 4690K or the 6600K ? which one will be better also can you tell me about  the differences between ATX mainboard and micro ATX ?

Intel 4000/6000 series. Go for the i5 (unless you can get a good deal on an i7).

 

AMD is a cheaper option and the FX 6300 or FX 8350 are decent choices and will allow you to run GPU demanding titles at medium to high with a decent card. However, they aren't as good as the Intel CPUs, not by a long stretch.

 

As for your other question, the external GPU will always be used over the iintegrated graphics.

I can't afford any i7 processor at the moment thanks for the info I will consider an i5

The difference is simply size and along with that, features. In general, an ATX motherboard will provide you with more features (more USB ports, SLI/Crossfire support, more PCI lanes). Whereas, Micro-ATX supports smaller form factor cases, and although some still support Crossfire and SLI and still come with plenty of USB ports or SATA ports, a full sized ATX will generally provide you with more.

As far as I'm concerned, ATX is the most common form factor today.

The main difference between them apart from size of the board is the amount of expansion slots and ram slots etc

Athlon X4 880K performs better than an i3 4170 and probably the most balanced AMD CPU

Wow thanks a lot I understand everything about this now  So I will buy a ATX mainboard from MSI which one is better can you suggest me ? with the i5 6600K processor ? budget is around 80-100$

I would get the i5-6600k, since it performs better than the 8370, and can be upgraded to an i7-6700k later.

we all know the best cpu for gaming is the intel 4004 clocks at 7.6GHz with 78 cores and 156 ht

No it would not. It would perform slightly under it. Better at multi-thread, but not by very much.

 

The most balanced AMD CPU is a Athlon x4 845 with a 105-108 BCLK OC

Wait for Zen. AMD haven't been relevant since 2011. Hopefully they will change that by the end of this year.

Most games use 4 threads so I'd say the i3 and 880K are more or less on the same footing

in that case i would drop down to the i5 6500 and get a 150 USD board. LGA 1151 will get new CPUs for another 2 years, so buying a better mobo and slightly slower chip today will allow you to keep "ontop" of the feature game, whilst still having a strong CPU.

 

Get a ASRock board and you can do baseclock OC of the 6500, which would make it more then fast enough for quite some time.

When are they gonna announce the new processor ? I'm gonna buy the processor after 2months

roll on zen apu with hbm

There's not much of an excuse to go with an older chip at this point, so I recommend the 6600K. ATX and mATX are different form factors of motherboards. An ATX board will be larger than an mATX one.
