In this case, the Core i3 4340 allows the R9 280X GPU to run at maximum potential, just like the Core i5 (and Core i7 would)." All three AMD CPUs we used – even the FX 8350 – and the Ivy Bridge Core i3 would deliver a sub 60 FPS frame rate, with frame spikes throughout the benchmark run. "This is a huge result – it wasn’t until we used a Haswell core CPU that the R9 280X was able to deliver consistent frame times and a 60 FPS frame rate in Assassin’s Creed IV. Using it only makes sense as long as the graphics card you choose comes from a similar performance segment.ĭepending on the game in question, AMD’s new processor has the potential to keep you happy around the AMD Radeon R9 270X/285 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 or 660 Ti level.Ī higher- or even high-end graphics card doesn’t make sense, as pairing it with AMD's FX-8370E simply limits the card's potential." "To put it nicely, the FX-8370E is a true middle-of-the-road CPU. Why buy a processor that can only play 4 out of 5 games, when you can pay the same and play 5 out of 5 games? These are just a few games, and obviously skewed towards Intel, but my point is to try and illustrate that some games run very poorly on the weak cores on FX processors. You have to OC an FX8 to 5Ghz just to match an i5-4440 at stock in BF4 multiplayer with an R9 290X. Then there are a lot of games where the FX will perform similar to Intel, provided you're using a 60Hz Monitor and don't see the bottleneck happening.Įven this supposedly very good multi-threaded game, Call of Duty:Advanced Warefare runs better on an i3 than an FX9 A few examples are: Starcraft, Skyrim, Civilization V, Assassin's Creed, etc. Then there are other games that are playable, but no where near as fluid as they would be on Intel. the FX will fall WAY behind the equally priced Intel processors making them unplayable(at least by my standards), sometimes even dropping to 15-20fps when the action starts.
If you enjoy games like MMOs(ArcheAge, WoW, Guild Wars2, World of Tanks, Planetside2 etc.) DayZ, ARMA2, ARMA3, Dead Rising 3, Indies, RTS, Emulators, etc. Please contact your hardware vendor(s) for specific support details.People think they are getting a good deal when they buy an FX for gaming, and they are not.
Earlier generations and models of the CPUs listed may have limited support for devices on this version of Windows 10.
