I'm doing gaming on a 1080p monitor... GPU will be a HD 7850. Playing stuff like crysis, bf3, far cry 2 and 3, etc etc would like to max out games and get no less than 30 fps. Which CPU will be better for me?
Definitely fx-6300 for those games, they are more multi-threaded. I will see if I can find some benchmarks
Th' FX 6300 be a better deal. It be also more future proof. th' I3 may get a couple more frames in a few games but th' th' FX be a much better deal. Especially when games start usin' more cores since th' new consoles have eight. So if I were ye I would definitely get th' FX 6300.
my fx4100 destorys i3, now imagine how much fx6300 destroys i3. . . . Especially in streaming games.
A 6300 Is much closer to an i5 than it is to an i3 in my eyes. 6300>i3-3220
FX6300 is close to i5, and in game battlefield 3 its a draw between the FX6100 and I7-3770k
The FX6300 will preform better then the FX6100, so its a good thing to buy.
i dont say the FX6300 will preform as good as an i7 but, in battlefield 3 i saw a draw between those 2 cpus .
but the FX6300 is close to an i5 thats for sure.
eaven the FX4300 will kill the i3 in everyway :D
fx 4300 won't really kill an I3,but overclocked fx 4300 will definetlly beat the i3-3220
fx 6300 even in stock beats the i3 3220.
The fx 6300 si somewhere in the middle between i3-3220 and i5 3570
Thanks guys! Now what about the FX-4170? I saw that thing had great reviews. How would it compare?
fx 4170 is weaker than 4300,it's the best BULLDOZER 1 gen cpu,but 4300 beats it quite a bit.
If you are looking for real i5 performance, the 6300 or 8350 is the way to go, the i7 is not beaten by any FX CPU... apart from 1 or 2 apps...
