GPU Fx-8320 and graphics card
I am being given a computer with an fx-8320(8 core, 3.5GHz/4 GHz boost, 8 threads) . It does have a graphics card but I plan on replacing it. The computer has 8gb ram but will have 16 or more after input more in. Is the GPU sufficient for gaming for games like skyrim, planet coaster, and/or pubg? What graphics card would be sufficient or recommended or best value? AMD rx Vega 56? I don't have a monitor yet but was looking at one with free sync instead of gsync. Any kind of input would be appreciated. I do realize I probably won't be able to max graphics but I would at least like "good" graphics/performance.

Edit: would like to go 4k resolution. I realize this may not be possible.
Would upgrading CPU to the fx-8370(8 core, 4ghz/4.3 turbo, 8 threads) be of any help or a different CPU? Motherboard supports AM3+

2nd edit:ok what about 1440 resolution. Higher than 1080 but should not be pushing as hard as the 4k to keep a decent refresh rate? Trying to take in all this info is a alot. Thank you everyone for inputs.

It would help if you say what resolution you use, because that's what really decides what GPU. That and PSU.

You'll be playing at 1080p for the best experience with that CPU. So in this case I would recommend a gtx 1050ti or similar.

Think about this now.. you're trying to run the most technically demanding resolution graphics that aren't even really considered mainstream in 2019. And you're trying to do it on a platform that's around seven years old. I don't think it's going to be fun. That's a 1080p computer.

You are actualy backwards on that. Assuming he has a powerfull GPU, higher resoultions are always easier on the CPU. At 4K he will be more GPU bound in most games still than CPU. FX is able to pull 4K 60 easier than 1080p/144 now days.

As seen here OP, the 83xx line is still more than capable of 60FPS+ averages in modern titles when paired with a good GPU :)

Actually, he can go any resolution with that CPU, as in most games CPU doesn't care what resolution you're playing at. CPU's job is to create objects, not color the pixels.

How good of a GPU? Vega 56 or 64? 1060/70/80 ti?

10xx is outdated and currently overpriced - except you get a good used deal.
Vega 56 also dated, and basically pooped on by a "simple" 2060.
Considering Vega 64 TDP, and pricing, i'd go for a 2070.

If you're heavily into AMD, you could wait till around july / august, or hope their Vega pricing becomes competitive again (though, not like nvidia has decent pricing atm.)

Your CPU is decent enough for modern games, yay multi-threading, but it still will be a bottleneck with higher end cards. Small sidenote: throwing in some 8370 is probably not the best idea, those things need very decent mainboards, and quite some juice.

TL;DR: depends on games and budget. Older titles that aren't too CPU heavy, 2060 will be fine, otherwise 2070, with fancy graphics 2080 or above. IMHO, dont go for 4k, but 1440p - huge difference performance wise.

get the best gpu you can afford. You can always move it into your Zen2 x5xx motherboard.. when you buy one. :p
FWIW, I'm very satisfied with my now aging RX580 and an FX8350 at 1080p

*rolls eyes*

Go ahead. Get the biggest gpu you can stuff in there dude. After all you tube does it

@OP:

If you were going 1080p I would advise a mid range card because of bottlenecking that would occur...

BUT

Since you *plan* to play at 4K, and since FX can push 60FPS (assuming you will run 4k/60) then you wont be hitting much of a bottle neck on the FX chip and *will* want the most GPU you can push for the buck, as the GPU will *still* be the weak point in 4K gaming.

For 4K I would *not* go below Vega 64 or GTX-1080 or RTX-2070, all of which are roughly the same in real world performances, give or take a few FPS here and there.

The Radeon VII/GTX-1080ti/RTX-2080 and the 2080ti are all better options at 4K, but might be out of your price bracket considering you plan to stick to a budget FX rig for your base.

As for which to choose....

Currently Vega 64 will offer you best FPS/$$, you can often find new units in the $400 range. Dont let people who cry foul on heat/thermals/noise fool you. Many of them *most infact* have not had first hand ownership of Vega. As someone who does, and has one of the worst case examples for all those issue (as in Reference Blower Model) I can tell you its over-hyped.

Its not that Vegas were hot, its that GTX900/1000 (specialy 900) were cool and power light. Look at how fricken hot RTX cards, or Fermi card ran and you can see there is nothing special or woriesome about Vega.

If you *do* want to go Nvidia you will pay more. Its that simple. And its not going to *get* you more in performnace, not any more so than AMD would have (they both have favored titles). On the green side you have the 1080, which is a *great* card and I would love to recomend, *if* it were near 400USD new or 350 used, as it should be. But there are too many people drooling for team green, so you will not get a 1080 for those prices.

The RTX-2070 is arguably the best of the three at this performance range, offering future tech, and in general leading the pack by a few percentage points overall in performance. Again, if this were a card priced at say ~400-450 new with top end 3rd paty options at 500 I would be spamming it as a great value. But alas... It starts at 500 and goes to 580+ for top models...

So, with ~430 USD to spend, you can go used 1080, or new Vega 64, or wait for a month or two for an RTX (in which case might as well wait for Navi to push prices down in July).

All of these options will work great with newer parts when you upgrade your core system too :)




*personally, I went Vega 64 @ 400 back in Nov 18, then jumped to 4K/60 on it in Jan, have no regrets!*

depends on you resolution and settings man. just about any entry level gaming gpu can do you good on the set up you mention but if you want 4k gaming in ultra details? 8thgen cpu from intel and a 1070 at the least i would say. a 1060 can game a few titles in 4k but not on ultra while older titles a 1060 with my i7 400k runs all games max in ultra as long as they arent the newest titles. id say 1070 or higher for 4k gaming one more note, we did stoop down to 2k reso and our 1060 runs all games maxed out at 2k but not 4k

FWIW This model is probably one of the all around best bang/buck options in the entire GPu market right now...

Its one of the coolest running and best reviewed models of Vega 64 with a proper third party cooling option that easily allows it to pull GTX-1080+ performance at $420 and comes with three games free...

Going higher resolution might actually be better for a weaker CPU as long as your pair it with a stronger GPU. Higher res means lower frame rate so the CPU has to work less hard feeding the GPU less frames. I think Vega 56 would be a nice fairly balanced pairing with an FX chip. I don't know how much success you'll have going after 4k with that setup though, my guess is you'll get console level frame rates at best, depending on what game and what settings you have it set to. For better results at 4k you would want to go a little stronger on the GPU, maybe a Vega 64 or R7.

Judging by the videos linked by 123, I'm actually pleasantly surprised that it seems do-able. One video was getting mid-30s at 4k with 980ti and 8350 on medium/high settings which is what I expected. A better GPU would bring those up a bit. I have a lot of love for the FX series of chips. Just make sure you have good cooling, and take a stab at some overclocking too.

So as long as you're OK with sub 60 FPS you should be golden to game in 4K with your processor.
