Why is the fx-8350 So Underrated for 4k Gaming?

[Deleted member 178884]

"utter garbage", "trash", "crap"

Who is exactly trolling here ?

The person who made this thread, you must be blind.
This thread needs to be locked to prevent salty fanboys throwing a fit, point is the FX series had terrible IPC, performance to watt, and he's paired it with a 1080ti, he then makes a thread asking what to upgrade next and if you haven't seen his system specs do so, the only thing that would even be worthwhile would be the FX cpu I doubt he has the cash for the 2080ti, and that'd bottleneck like hell on that FX CPU, I think you're failing to comprehend some basic facts.

I have the same platform, don't worry about the AMD Haters here.

We have the FX club plus @stormchaser is trying to push a quad right now.

I don't think anyone's hating on AMD too much. The FX chips are just pretty poor performers overall relative to other cpu's of the same age. I have an 8300 which I used in my daily for a bit, would I use it again if I had to? No. I'd rather pick my $20 6 core Xeon instead.

I gave my son my old 8350 system last year and it still games just fine.

Who is exactly trolling here, OP or the rest of you all ?

Prove everyone else wrong and show off an FX 8350 against a 6600k for example, we'll see particularly in single threaded games that FX getting hammered, it's no troll, if it's good for his use case he shouldn't make a thread to get all salty about the fact people told him to upgrade the dated mediocre FX CPU.
Face it, only fanboys here are getting salty and defensive over it, the ryzen CPUs are a FAR better upgrade and offer the best price to performance without pulling a ton of electricity and bottlenecking your system especially with a 1080ti......

 

[avrona]

Its mainly because 4K is very GPU dependant, but even at 4K you're still bottlenecked with that god awful CPU. Its funny that even a 2500K will beat a 8350 now a days, and a 2600K will surely beat both.
Not really understanding what you mean by "underrated" however.

By underrated I mean people greatly underrating its performance, like I said in the title, some even outright claiming I lie about my own performance.

 

[erocker]

Wouldn't any CPU at that performance level be considered "underrated" for 4K since those that typically game at 4K would use a more modern, better performing processor?

People like to bash simple.

While not being the most power efficient the FX line work well for 4k.

It works well in 4k because it is not the limiting factor. No one is denying that.

 

[EarthDog]

See... fine = good enough. And good enough is subjective.

Just because it isnt optimal, doesnt mean fine is bad.

Please...stop.

We arent under rating it here. Were telling you why you are ok with it and TRYING to put some perspective around it. It's a solid cpu in a non cpu dependent situation...congrats!

First of all, I know the answer the question I posed, I was being ironic. Secondly I don't care, can't you see that you and a couple of others are the only people on here on some sort of vendetta trying to prove something ?

I didn't even mentioned the bloody things and you jumped immediately at me telling me to "prove everyone else wrong". Why ? Just for the sake of it ? You are the troll on here.

It's called a forum, people share ideas.

Well you seem to know something I don't, how about contribute to the thread instead of making off topic statements?

That's not really underrated in the typical sense. I use it for 4k gaming and it's completely fine, but people are greatly underrating its performance at 4k, like I said in the OP, some even going as far as using the lawsuit as "proof" of it being bad.

 

[Vya Domus]

Which makes your suggestion that this thread should be closed for "trolling" even more absurd.

how about contribute to the thread instead of making off topic statements?

I've been more on topic than all your comments. I've directly addressed the questioned posed by the OP from my very first comment on here, refer to it. You are the one going off track by "trying to prove someone wrong" as far I am concerned.

Want a medal or something?

Sure why not. Shall I give you an address to know where to send it ?

 

[siluro818]

This is such a pointless thread xD

 

[lexluthermiester]

Please...stop.

Yes, you should. Avrona came here to asking for insight as to why people are so negative about a CPU that is decently performing and they get a bunch of elitist fanboy nonsense. EarthDog, you are not one of the people this was expected from.

@avrona
Who you should consider perspectives from seems clear.

 

[Deleted member 178884]

Sure, I'll write "Ignorance is bliss" on it for you.
Now blanking this fool living in la-la land, @Solaris17 would you mind closing this thread? It's pointless.

There are games that are going to be limited by a 8350 anyway, 4K or not. I understand that the burden is on the GPU at 4K but even so. I always try to find balance with my rigs and I would upgrade the platform to Ryzen if it were me.

My rig is imbalanced as well imo. I should have bought a 1080 Ti in retrospect but I had no idea that Nvidia was going to pull this stunt with the $1,200 2080 Ti at the time.

 

[qubit]

Yeah, it's probably best to close this thread now.

@avrona the upshot is that you have a low performance CPU which happens to work well enough for your particular use case. Nothing wrong with that, but you can't go claiming all the time that the CPU is "excellent", because it just isn't. It was a dog when it came out and it's even more of a dog now.

Look, my 2700K is a top performing gaming CPU - for its time. Although its performance demolishes your one, it's still showing its age when playing modern games and shooting for 144fps, which it often can't achieve. Therefore, for my use, it needs upgrading now. I'd get the 9900K if money wasn't an issue right now.

You also say that the frame rates are excellent, but they're not, because the Intel competition of the same era puts out a lot more fps. The situation is way worse when compared to a 9900K. Does it consistently stay above 60fps in the games and settings that you play at 4K? In that case, it's sufficient for you and that's about all you can say about it. People are telling you the truth.

I'm telling ya it wont stick, it will have an anti-oxymoron coating on it.

I never claimed it's excellent, it's far from the best CPU nowadays, I was just saying that it is good when partnered with some high-end card like a 1080Ti.

No, it's still not "good". It's good enough for you, which is very different. Run that card at 1080p and it will seriously bottleneck it - even my 2700K bottlenecks my GTX 1080 at 1080p and it's a lot faster than yours. Heck, that AMD CPU probably does at 4K too, but it doesn't matter so much with a 60Hz monitor. You've got a 60Hz 4K monitor, right?

What made it toxic was the comments made by you and a few others that clearly show your bias. Instead of insisting the thread be closed because we're not being complicit to your perspective, why don't you leave and unwatch the thread. Or are you so entitled that you can't agree to disagree and let it go?

 

[kapone32]

I do believe that most people who bash FX never owned one. I have even seen a post that stated that Phenom 2s were faster and having owned both I cannot agree with that statement. I can even attest that you can get over 100 FPS on AAA games that support crossfire or SLI with the 8300 series. Every FX chip can be overclocked like crazy (without changing the voltages). I used mine with 2 HD 7950s and had no issues playing Project Cars in VR. Yes Ryzen is faster but not miles faster.

 

[xtreemchaos]

im done ive a headache, im off to play fallout 4 vr for some real life .. FX it is what it is.

 

[cucker tarlson]

this thread is turned into a slice of equal attention cake for fx owners fast.
