Posted May 26, 2016 Yea right... Games are now using more than 4 logical cores. A 4 year old CPU holding up against the "latest" from Intel, tell me again LTT users, why the fuck was I recommended an i5 by majority of tech websites 3 years ago when I could've gotten an 8350? http://wccftech.com/fx-8370-i5-6400-gaming-comparison/ https://gfycat.com/LastingSilentBlackmamba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 26, 2016 no they are bad, im an AMD fanboy and even i know they are, the fx 9590 gets like 9 FPS in gta v on lowest settings when you live stream, and the GPU was a 390 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 26, 2016 Lel. I bought an 8320 back in 2012. Still running it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 26, 2016 Why were you recommended the i5? Because every other test out there will show the intel CPUs having much better single-threaded and total performance, especially when factoring in power consumption and heat. These results are highly suspicious to me Solve your own audio issues | First Steps with RPi 3 | Humidity & Condensation | Sleep & Hibernation | Overclocking RAM | Making Backups | Displays | 4K / 8K / 16K / etc. | Do I need 80+ Platinum? If you can read this you're using the wrong theme. You can change it at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 26, 2016 They aren't good, the performance per core is terrible, they draw a dick ton of power (relative to similarly performing Intel counterparts), and they generate a shit ton of heat. 3 minutes ago, Ryan_Vickers said: These results are highly suspicious to me I concur.

Posted May 26, 2016 I don't know how to respond to this. I'd like to see these results IRL and not from some shitty PNG. Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

Posted May 26, 2016 there are realy bad talking to my friends about this same topic today conclusion he regrets getting the fx 6300 and wishes he got the better performing i3 6300 My build http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/KSores/saved/QBd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 26, 2016 Also when I bring up power consumption it's not because it's going to cost more on your power bill (although it will, just nothing you should care about) but that it means you need a higher wattage PSU, and a mobo with a good VRM system or otherwise you have a pretty decent chance of frying your board and everything connected to it.

The price difference between the 9590 and something like a 6700 is easily eaten up by needing (yes, it's not optional) a tougher motherboard, and perhaps more importantly, some beast liquid cooler Solve your own audio issues | First Steps with RPi 3 | Humidity & Condensation | Sleep & Hibernation | Overclocking RAM | Making Backups | Displays | 4K / 8K / 16K / etc. | Do I need 80+ Platinum?

Damn, that's insane. EDIT: To OP @dfg666 we're not trying to roast your or anything btw, we're telling you there is a very obvious reason why we don't recommend current AMD CPU's.

It's .15$ per kwh here in Rhode Island- so not exactly super cheap but not like Hawaii at .33$ per kwh.
