From AMD FX-6300 to AMD FX-8350?

[drewfy]

Right now I have the 6300 and was wondering if the 8350 would get me more FPS, I only get like 120 - 150 fps and was looking to upgrade my CPU before I get a 144hz monitor. I cant get a I dont know what CPUs I can get with a AM3+ socket besides this one

csgo is 50/50 gpu/cpu demand
it might,who knows

I have a R9 390 and a FX6300 I'm pretty sure theres a bottle neck in there lol

indeed
fun fact: r7/9 300 series is basicly rebrand of 200 series with NO PERFORMANCE INCREASE
only more rams

i used to have a R9 280 but it broke! So I bought this thing and it actually performs worse tha the 280!

[drewfy]

unless its the bottleneck i was talking about

No, probably not but...
check your gpu or cpu usage whilst playing... if one is constantly in the 80s or 90s it is or is near bottleneck....
edit: I had a 280x & i5 4590, got a gtx 980 and didnt see an increase, other than display resolution, though i didnt care for anything above 1920x1080

ok next time i play i will check out the CPU usage and post what i see here! I play on 1280x960 res btw

ofc there's a bottleneck dude comon, the fx-6300 is week

But this is csgo.... anyways I'm not too sure about any of their cpu's though...

keep 6300, I am a fx 8350 owner and moved to i7, I can tell you when I upgraded my 4 core phenom ii 970 x2 processor to fx 8350 it made no performance difference. Best save your money and see what AMD has in store for their new cpu. Will recommend not to upgrade as it will not make any difference at best overclock your fx 6300 cpu. Since most games do not use all cores it will not be great the FX series are module based. Each modules have 2 cores in the that share l2 cache. Sadly Windows and most games will make it like this
FX 6x series 3 Modules, Each Module has 2 cores simulates 3 cores in Majority Games
FX 8x series 4 Modules, Each Module has 2 cores, simulates 4 cores in Majority Games

Now for example Overclocking the FX 6300 will benefit more in games than a FX 8350.
It takes all cores running to reach its full potential meaning for FX 8350 its 4ghz - 4.2ghz

The FX 6300 is 3.5 to 4.1 ghz not overclocked, Now Most games use 2-4 cores except BF4 and BF1, Crysis 3 and Frostbyte engine games use all cores. In most games it will only use 2-4 cores for FX 8350 this is not best for full potential meaning the CPU shouldn't bottleneck; but because all the cores and IPC is not being used it will give lower performance causing a bottleneck.

The best for you for now is to keep your FX 6300 and Overclock it to 4.3-4.7 ghz try to get as much as you can from that processor since If games use 2-4 cores from a FX 6300 you should in theory and I have tested before be getting better performance than the FX 8350 which is weaker when using less cores than a FX 6300.

Pros to moving to FX 8350 at this time is just better multitasking meaning less lag when recording or rendering videos while doing other task.

Cons, You will have more bottleneck in games that use 1-4 cores because of the fact its using less IPC when not using all 8 cores at 90-100% usage. So for the comment below me @El_Hood you are not getting ~+50fps, you just think that since CS GO is gpu based and works great with no bottleneck on both 4 core AMD and I3 processors.

I would suggest overclock your cpu and keep it, and save your money for a better mobo and newer cpu with ddr4 instead of ddr3.

Another suggestion is move to Intel I5, 6500k ~ 200 USD with a 100$ Mobo and 40 - 60 dollar DDR4 of 8 or 16 gb, you will enjoy more frames on more games even if the games do not fully utilize all cores, each intel core IPC is quite a long ways better than AMD cores

[El_Hood]

I actually did exactly the same upgrade over a year ago. Then it gave me around ~+50fps. But I can't tell you if you will get the same amount in today's CSGO as many things in regards to performance changed.

Increased stock boost clocks and more ram like you said.

Why did you necro a 7 year old thread?

Accidentally.
