hello i am in the market for a new pc and looking for an affordable cpu to go with my gigabyte 7950. so i was wondering will the fx 8320 bottleneck xfire 7950's when i grab another?
Nope.
thanks alot man! im going to order my new system this weekend!!!!!!!!!
People love to live in a special happy place where AMD is the better gaming CPU option. AMD should be for Hankintosh computers, or video rendering rigs. Not for gaming. 8320 is still a great processor, but if you're going to spend over $150 on a processor just get an i5. Gaming requires single thread strength ATM, and likely in 1-3 years games won't use more than 4 processors. Threading does not = single core strength among other things.
I hate having this conversation with people. Fine, you want an all 'round rig, get an AMD. If you want a gaming rig AMD isn't even in the picture. You spend a little more for intel, but when people put together massive expensive AMD builds for the sole purpose of gaming it just makes my head want to explode!
so ur saying that i could get a lower modle such as the 6300 and would that bottleneck because intel is out of the picture i just dont have the money
The fact that Intel is better in benchmarks for more money does not mean AMD is not suited for gaming
if your just gaming, the 6300 will probably be your best option. the 8320 and 8350 are really for inexpensive workstations
alright thank you very very much and i should be ocing to around 4.5 ghz (hopefully) so that will help am i correct?
well, your probably not going to get that high, but overclocking will help, just make sure you got a really good cooler,a s amd prosses are HOT, and the tjmax is 70c
hyper 212 evo a good enough cooler?
well, for slight OC yes, but for high OC, you need a Thermalright silver arrow sb-e, noctua NH-D14, or one of the phanteks double tower heat sinks.
would i be able to get to a stable 4.2-4.4 with decent temps from the 212 evo?
