Are AMD FX CPUs still worth it for gaming?

Threadripper and i9 CPUs are cool and all... but what about the "REAL WORLD" solutions for budget gaming? Until Ryzen 3 is here AMD FX is still your cheapest option to get in to gaming... but is it still worth at 6 yrs old?

When you're watching this video with a Fx-8350

[Leonartist]

60 fps is good enough for me. Having an fx cpu and an excellent gpu is still better than consoles.

[TreyMackSimracingTryhard]

1.5 years after this video posts, I'm still rocking a FX-8350 and a GTX 960. -___-

FX8350 still very good, its not the 90's any more, old cpu's are very relevant.

[fastzebrazoom]

Uh Jay, you're overclocking the crap out of a 6 year old CPU and then making it sound like the FX series isn't worth it. Really? Lol.

[ryanmartinage]

The FX got a lot of crap but in all truth, it ran every game that came out for me the last several years and handled all day to day work tasks day in day out. Unless you were constantly exporting videos or some similar task, it did well.

1TB SSD, ...
"Nothing too crazy"
I have two 500GB HDDs and one is loud af.

[Aged_Rebel]

Still rocking FX 6300 and MSI 750 ti. Not ideal but its the best Ive ever had.

[Ali-flmb]

I still use an FX6300, it's a pretty solid CPU but it suffers from bad frame timing/stuttering on the majority of modern games for me now. Definitely time to save the pennies for Ryzen.

[skboarding]

when he said 6 years old i thought the CPU is from 2001 but its actually 2011, thats scary bro.

[YourAussieMate]

I use an AMD Fx-6300 and an MSI Radeon R9 390 and most games run at very high and over 60fps. Gaming is completely fine and very cheap to get into.

[jsserch]

Yup FX 6100 user here. Gaming in 2019 at 1080p, Medium/high settings at 30fps.

[jameshiggins]

If you find one for a good price then yes. For example the FX-6300 you can sometimes find for $30 which is a steal.

[warmfreeze]

real question is... since the FX is so cheap...would it be worth upgrading an old phenom to an FX to get a little bit more use out of an old PC?

Jay, you're not improving the IPC by overclocking.

You're increasing the clocks, not the instructions per clock

[christianninja]

I have an FX8320 with 12gb ram and a 1060. It runs everything I throw at it, I stream most games at 60fps with Max settings

[danielthompson]

*maxes out OC sliders for 1070* *wonders why it randomly shuts off*

[notkreator]

I'm still rocking a FX-8350 with GTX 970 😇

[austin]

I've got an 8350 with a GTX 970 and it's treated me well the last 2.5 years <3

[Xristosever]

Man im with FX 6350 and RX 570(8G) and almost every game i run is at 80 to 135 FPS, so of course its worth it guys
