Not sure about the memory, probably 1600 for everything. does it make much of a difference?
it depends on the game, some games hate FX's
In others it's fine
Anyway, the overclocked FX6300 can beat the i3 in many titles but the FX performs horribly in the titles that don't scale well, like mechwarrior. If you average it out the overclocked FX6300 probably performs similar. I'd still recommend the i3 because lowering settings will be more likely to increase performance, as you're probably not stuck on a bit of singlethreaded code.
^ LOL there is the evidence, The Crytec engine screams with Fx series 6300 lol @ 4.7 it is clearly in the lead.....The code for MWO sucks as I have stated too many times to count, but that is not AMDs defect. AMD is taking the fall for PGIs clear inability to code multithreading past 2 cores. *LOL* I am a Automotive Service Technician and I wrote the affinity that works best yet to date/(that I have experienced for FX series) <----that says something......... Just imagine if I had a computer science degree and or coding experience, whatever they require you to have to be hired by game devs.
The Fx 6300 will perform, you may need to actually involve yourself in the process though, unless you are one of these new generation of people who use everything but have no idea how/why things work. ie: can type 65 WPM but changing thermal paste on a quick disconnect CPU block that takes less than 5 minutes and is almost always painless, is way out of their comfort zone.(lazy people) Like people who have CAA or a tow truck change thier flat tire waiting 45mins when 15minutes thy could be at crusing speed again................These people needed to grow up on farms.
A Hyundai elantra isnt fast, but after you bolt a turbo kit on it and tune it properly, no half-a$$'ing it, you will smoke cars that come factory fast.- have seen said car in Toronto on a dyno making 330 HP to the wheels and 340some odd ft lbs of torque.
Same goes for AMD FX if you can use critical thinking skills and or ingenuity or even display an ounce of passion for something, you can come out on top, but you have to come out swinging, take a stab. you know get @ it, make it happen, **** man, this mentality kills me.....
PGI half assed it with their coding on crytec.....Crysis 3 uses all my cores above 70% all day long. -optimization is key.
