Compute performance is the correct terminology.

Horse-Power; think of it this way.
Horsepower is incorrect as well. Learn what HP is

You know exactly what he means..
So? Doesn't matter. What he wrote was incorrect.

Computer hardware have no strength.

Of course they do however you wanna call or measure it.
A CPU is either faster or slower. A video card is either faster or slower. RAM is either faster or slower. There is no strength

Lol @ semantics...

Lol @ those thinking an FX 8/9 is too slow for gaming...

(Is it slower than its competition? Sure... Is it too slow to game (or slower than a G4560)? Heck no. Get a grip people...)

DX11 light, notice how much faster just an 8350 is especialy in multi-threading...

DX11 Heavy...

DX12...



Same GPU each time, 54, 28, 18% faster for each more demanding test in overall score, 92, 40, 60% faster for cpu only testing...

Yes in benchmarks.

The average game doesn't use 8 cores.

And nobody said it can't game. It can game just fine, on the low-end..

You obviously either dont have first jand experiance or have not kept up on the times...

There are *plenty* of FX-8 core review availavle that ate late 2017 and early 2018 testing FX-8 core chips on current AAA titles...

Guess what? When paried with a good GPU, and an average 4.5ghz core clock, an FX 8 core chip can return a pretty decent 60+ average from 720p to 4k using high to ultra presets in most games...

So no. They are not for "low end" gaming. Will they be slow compared to an i7? Sure. Will they be fast enough to hit the pc master race barrier of 60fps is most games? Yeh it will...

Example. He does side by side testing with an r5 1600...

Im at work but can link more vida when home.

Point is there is allot of hate on FX, but it does *not* change the fact that real world performane shows them capable of mostly high and above gamong at 60fps. Just dont expect 144hz or VR frame rates, which at least imho are above high end and in the ehlnthusiast/pro-sumer space like i9s and threadrippers.

Yes it gets over 60fps but it only gets half the FPS the i7's and i5's are getting and this is VS 5th and 6th gen Intel CPUs.

Here is an even older article:

The FX 8350 was already losing to i5 CPUs 4 years ago.

Aaand same story for more recent titles like Watch dogs 2:

The FX 8370 has only half the FPS the i5's and i7's are getting.

Thank you for re-enforcing my point that for 60FPS game play the FX-8 core line is absolutly acceptable...

as for the i7's getting twice the frame rate...

100fps is pointless with a 60hz screen.

Few people running an FX cpu will be spending $$$ on a higher than 60hz display, and if they *do* spend extra on a display it will be for higher rez over higher refresh is most cases.

Therefore its a pretty solid assumption that *most* people using an FX chip will be running 60Hz and likely either 1080 or 1440p.

If the FX-8 core can hit the 60hz rate for most common place monitors , with *high* settings on most game up through 1440p and beyond, it is still more than capable of "high end" gaming.




And for the record, if you are running highger than refresh rate (on any system) you should take the time to push that extra GPU power into service rather than waste it on unseen frames.

Pro-Tip - Certain settings are GPU specific loads, and can be turned up to:

A) lower frame rate to closer to refresh while attaining better image quality

or

B) increase GPU usage to account for unused potential with better image quality.

example:

If you have a game that pulls ~70fps with ~80% GPU usage on an FX, but the same card and game pull 95FPS and 100% usage on an i7, but you are on a 60FPS screen, what do you do?...

Turn up AA/AF untill you reach closer to 60fps... Now your image quality is increased, and the render time spent useless overhead frames (or not spent at all due to waiting on game engine from CPU) will be put to use cleaning up the image, and in the end you will still have greater than refresh frame rates....

Now both systems will be running at roughly the same 60'ish FPS and 100ish load on GPU...


The only real place an FX chip has to worry for now is if the user wants greater than 60FPS... and anyone wanting that should *know* better than to look at an FX in the first place.

But for the casual "Durh, 60FPS Master Race" argument, an FX 8 core @ 4.5 is enough to hit the mark 9/10 times...for now.

Actually I know that Omega played on a FX-8350 last time he visited me on my neighbours computer. The question is not if the FX is incapable of reaching 60 fps on some games but about the value. Cheaper CPU's with a better upgrade path can do the same.

And that's the whole point in a G4560 it was half it's cost for a long time achieving the same just being on upgradable LGA-1151 socket.

In such case you should admit that Pentium G4560 which has the same or better gaming performance is "absolutely acceptable" for high-end gaming. :steamhappy:

But its not the same.

in *any* game that uses 4+ threads the FX will beat the pentium. Period.

Sure, for any 1/2/3 threadd game, and even *some* 4 threaded games a pentium can hit that same 60fps and be fine for upper end 60Hz gaming...

BUT

Most titles now days are multi-core aware, and will use more than 4 cores when they are physically present. Many might stick to 4 threads on a hyperthreaded chip, but on 6 core and higher machines you will see usage with *new* games.

Thats why its *important* to keep in mind the tests done in games from late 2017 and early 2018, where we start to see the same thing in games as we see in benchmarks, Heavy CPU demands with mutiple threads saturate the Pentium where the individualy weaker 8 cores in the FX prevail.

Not to mention that in any CPU bound tanks the FX will be at least 50% or greater faster than the pentium...


So sure, for games made with dual-cores in mind you are fine with that pentium, and for lighter quad core games you will get by (you have 4 threads) but anything that would push you beyond that will show the limitation of the pentium where the FX will still hit the mark.


Im not arguing the fact that Intel and current gen AMD beat FX, they do. I am pointing out the fact that the Pentium is *not* a comparable chip in *any* way other than sub-4 thread gaming, and in any modern titles and future titles the 8 core FX can and will hold a lead over such a chip. In CPU centric task aside from gaming its no even a competition with the FX stomping the pentium again in muti-threaded performance.
tacoshy 2018 年 3 月 20 日 下午 10:11 
For the same price then the FX you get a better AMD or Intel CP with DDR4 standard. For the games where you can actually need those 4 HT cores the FX offers you don't want it either. It's OK for those who still have it but getting one now is just waste of money as it is to expensive compared to CPU that offer simliar or better performance

Sorry, all these claims are obviously false. For instance, I don't know any AAA titles which creates only 4 process threads. Say, original Crysis (10 y.o. game) has 21 threads.
You just do not distinguish software process threads from hardware core threads. And so on.

But I do not want to irritate moderators by offtopic reasoning. So, I just draw your attention to the fact that you're wrong and this can be proved by CPU benchmarks in real games.

And that's all about this.
