FX 8320 Owners
I am looking into a new computer and have noticed that there is a lot of negativity around the FX 8320 CPU and that it can't play arma 3 very well. Low FPS and spikes.

Anyone having this problem?

I want to put togeather the FX 8320 and a navidia GTX950. The 950 will handle it no problem, but want to hear what you guys are saying about the FX 8320.

Thanks

Do you want to play the single player campgain or multiplayer? On mutliplayer i can confirm that this cpu is crap. I have the 8350 in my secound PC. Even overlocked i mostly have 8 fps with that rig. (In that pc is a GTX 970 too!). You drive better with an INTEL i5 CPU for the same price. But dont have big hopes, this game even knows how to crush my i7 4790k.

it's not about fanboy.. this game coded for single core as well and intel has better performance against amd fx proccessors.. So I can confirm there are a lot of people don't have any idea about this, for example you do this right now!

This isn't a AMD vs Intel thread, lol. I just want to know if I will run Arma 3 with the 8320 and to hear what other owners are saying at this time.

I have read all about Arma using single core. I like Intel and have never owned an AMD. But, This CPU is what I have to work with for now.

"On mutliplayer i can confirm that this cpu is crap"
99.9% of mutliplayer servers are crap,not the cpu,no matter what brand/model of cpu

If thats what you got to work with,then just start arma and find out.

Im not a Intel fanboy but i switched from a FX 8150 BE ( 20-25 fps in mp ) to a I7 4790k (40-50 fps in mp) and its worth for Arma.

"I can confirm that intel fanboys are idiots" says the idiot to another idiot ....

If you want play with stable fps above 20, i recommend a i5 / i7 or you wait until they release the map dlc, this includes a free update graphic(dx12) update for everyone. I hope that will fix all the performance issues

Every "idiot" can host a server, the performance is based how to handle the scripts and the AI.
I played missions with about 150 ACTIVE AIs and the server had fps about 30-35 .....

Sry that i dont used more gentle words for it. But with the FX-8350 CPU you dont have much fun on arma mp matches.

Iam not a fanboy of intel or amd, if you read my post carefully you see that i use both products. I have currently 6 PCs with Two INTEL CPUs (i7 4790k and xeon 1220v3)
and four AMD CPUs (FX-8350, X6 1055T, AMD APU 5350 and Phenom X4 9850BE).

The sad truth is, currently AMD has no CPU i would suggest for ArmA 3. Even the high insane overlocked AMD FX-9590 CPU which requires a watercooling are useless. Even an old i5 2500 beats the entire AMD line up, and that CPU a few years old.

Here are some rare benchmarks:

I Hope this change next year, when AMD comes up with the new zen cpu's and since INTEL has no intrest in putting out new high end cpu's next year it could be very intresting.

If playing without less then 20fps is good for you, then iam happy for you.

(btw i have +10k hours of arma gameplay)

I have an idea how the script system works.
Is it the difference between a crap fps server and a good one?

LoL at the milsim player,the very reason I stop playing the Milsim part of Arma

Latest research data on dx12 showed. That amd will outrun intel in dx12. So.... i would stick to amd, becouse dx12 is coming. And we all know (who made research), that dx12 uses more cores then 4 (hint hint amd).
