I just picked up a r9 290X, I'm planning in the near future to upgrade my Mobo and CPU to go with it. My question is, will i be better served buying an 8350 or buying a 8320 and taking the extra $40 saved and putting it towards a better mobo, then what i could afford if i got the 8350. I also already have a CM Hyper 212 plus, so i got the aftermarket cooler already.
No point in spending extra in the 8350. On a side note, 8320 from i5 760 at 4.0 will be a side grade in most applications.
Yeah prob not worth going to FX unless you struggle with multi threaded apps. Otherwise keep what u got...
Feel I shoukld answer OP question... 8320 or 8350 they overclock the same. Hyper 212 Evo at least. Newer games scale well with more cores, so check out benchmarks before deciding. Watchdogs is the latest good example.
The 8350 is supposedly binned better but I've seen no real world evidence of that. It's just random. Get the 8320 and a Hyper 212 Evo and call it a day.
Qa I dont know about you guys But I didnt see Any diffrence (fps) wise going from Fx 6100 to 8350 then 9370! All the games I play remained exactly the same, other then a higher cinbench score I didnt notice any diffrence between these 3 cpus. Fx 6100 was at 4.3ghz, 8350 @ 4.5 , 9370 @ 5ghz= games played exactly the same with Radeon 6970 Crossfire, no change in minimum, max or average Fps for me! Now iam about to test the fx 4130 and I have a feeling it will he similar to my other Fx cpus lol.
Probably you didn't play a lot of games which need higher end processors. When I tried my friend's FX 4130 back when I had the AMD athlon x2 245 I noticed so much fps gain in Civ 5 and Metro Last Light. Now with the fx 8350 its crazy. I never had 80+ fps on ultra.
Like I said I didnt notice Any diffrence whatsoever, I do play a few Cpu bound games as well....Dcs world, Fsx from time to time, Arma 2, cant remember the rest honestly. I dont see how that would be a gpu bottleneck, if the 9370 is a better Cpu it schould net me more fps on 9370 vs 6100, If you throw Radeon 6970 crossfire on a Intel cpu iam pretty sure it would push out some xtra fps.The motherboard I had was the best you can get for Amd so there was nothing holding my system back other then the cpu! I even had 2000mhz memory so my theory is I saw no diffrence at all in games. Thats just my opinion maybe other users have diffrent results? Go with the 8320 they are all pretty much the same dude trust me, Amd Fx line I mean,as far as gaming goes not benchmark scores.
The 8320 is same as 8350. Really good Performance here. U do nothing wrong. Just Windows isn't optimized for em yet May with W10 @ Dx12, i see some light, as the XOne is on NT-Kernel too.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113376 For the same price as the fx 8320 you can grab the fx 8320e which is a 95 watt tdp instead of 120 watts. Most likely won't be any different than over clocking a normal fx 8320, but if you intend to run it at stock clocks it'll be a nice drop in temps.
