Time To Say Goodbye To AMD FX Processors? | AMD FX-6300 Gaming Performance in 2022

Would it run warzone

👍

No its got 3 cores 6 threads get it right.

I finally said goodbye to my fx6300 and rx580 and said hello to my ryzen 5 5600x

I recently upgraded my AM3+ board from 8gb ram to 16gb for $17 and my FX4300 to FX6300 for $22. I figured at those prices the price/performance gain was worth it. I'm using a 1050Ti card. Opinions welcome!

I could still play doom eternal with this together with RX580 8GB, how cool is that? And also without any overclock. There are minor stutters, not really much. And that would be gone with some overclocking, I tried %5 overclocking on my board, that went super smooth and not so much heat.

damm my PC is dinosaur🦕🦖 AMD FX-6300 + GTX 950

the Fx6300 won't cut it since 2020 in my opinion... And having one overclocked (despite 4.3ghz is very achievable on any VRM-cooled 970 mobo w/212 cooler or even the one you've got for the review) won't provide all the extra juice modern games need.

But if on a 970 motherboard, an upgrade to an Fx8350/70 is a reasonable upgrade, the mainstream 8 core won't need overclock since they have a base of 4ghz, and the 2 extra cores will impact a lot. So by moving from an Fx6300 to an Fx8350 you gain 15% frequency and 30% more cores, which translates into a slightly improved singlecore and a very nicely improved multicore performance.

That being said, from the 3 games you tested, The worst one was SOTR, that i think could sit at mid 40fps on medium settings (the extra weight from low to med would be taken mostly by the GPU) which is an improvement over the 30fps 900p at comparable low settings the consoles like PS4 provided back in the day, and despite some stutter here and there, makes the game really playable (remember we are on a budget here). Too bad there are games far more demanding than SOTR out there that aren't really playable on an Fx6300

Last but not least... if you need a PC to run indy games and do light productivity jobs like Photo editing, or just web browsing, Word & Excel on an extreme budget, Fx6300 might still be reasonable if paired with an old GPU like GTX960, R9 380, GTX1050Ti or something around that performance... but for a little higher price i would pick an Fx8 core or sandy/Ivy bridge i7 since it will work quite better both for games and productivity (these can handle 1080p video editing without getting as frustrated as with the Fx6300).

I just got my pc yesterday I bought it for $350 with DDR3 FX 6300 with GTX 1650 and small lag in some spots in gta 5 but other than that it's amazing

cyberpunk is unplayable with this cpu regardless of the gpu but many of the recent AAA titles are still playable with this

I got the same CPU and motherboard along with 16gb generic ddr3 ram a brand new case with rgb fans, and a lightly used EVGA 600w gold psu all for $125 recently and I'm going a similar build

Very helpful, thank you for sharing!

It's only time to say goodbye to technology when it no longer does what you need it to do. It's all about use case. I'm watching your awesome video on a core 2 duo with 4gb of memory and an r7 250, because I don't need an rx 6700 xt for that. I have an FX 6300 machine with an R9 280 that is now a Steam box and it's awesome for playing indie titles in the living room. I have a few older systems, and they all do something I want them to do. :0)

i still rock an fx 6300 paired with a 1050ti as my secondary build. its about to get a 980ti upgrade mostly so i can use my 1050ti in a different build. honestly still okay if you're on a very low budget. i've just had mine for years and put it to use instead of collecting dust lol

i'm still using an FX 6300 OC to 4.2ghz paired with RX 550 4gb...that CSGO performance is due to DX9 optimization on AMD GPUs that's why you're seeing a bit lower fps on AMD.

I have this fx-6300 paired with a gtx750 and 16 gb of ram computer has been running nonstop for 10 years and it still does what I need it to. enough to play overwatch and such with the kids. It's about at its end life but what an investment for a rig that works so well for 10+ years

I mean for someone who has a 1660 ti and only really plays shogun2, apex,need for speed heat, Genshin impact, valorant, and over watch. And as someone who DESPERATELY wants to get off his Athlon 3000g for literally anything with more cores and threads. If I found this cpu in a bundle would it be worth it? Is there another cpu out there thats maybe 20-30$ more and fits better with the 1660ti. I’m also on a a320m pro max board I’m also trying hard to get off of for obvious reasons.

Using 6300 with RX580 since like 2 years. Completely sufficient for HD gaming. I dont go UHD or VR because i dont have those.

You put it quite well; even with CPU, MB and RAM bundle, spending $90 for it was a questionable transaction. Just in my personal opinion, as a long time builder, purchasing hardware that was launched 10 years ago, is just a waste of money.

I had one of these that has been in two different gaming PCs and also ran a NAS for a while. They are worth holding onto for now. I just made my wife a PC using this old chip combined with a 1080 that I got for $150 and it works great for what she likes to play. Effectivly building a budget PC for less than $500

Got a rtx 3060 with the fx 6300 extreme bottle neck

I have fx 6300 with radeon hd 5450, is there any tip to improve performance

I have a fx6300, 1050ti, 16 gigs of ddr3 ram. I think now is the time to upgrade. my PC just struggles to game at 1080p

Bro how to download gta game 😢 please share link plz

6300 and 960 gtx but i only play warcraft and it runs max fine

Buying a new case for that CPU is a waste of money.

Hey, that’s an e tier rated unit on psu cultist. You should definitely get rid of that thing.

I loved my 8350 back in 2017 when I first got one, and I love mine now, but I just need to stop being sentimental and upgrade to a ryzen 5 or a ryzen 7. Sad but true. Such a large bottleneck.

Userbenchmark is garbage my friend.

I don't know what frequency you were using on your 6300, but I have an FX 6300 with 5.0Ghz overclocking and the FPS is much higher than in these tests. I believe that this processor in 2022 does need to run in overclocking to deliver a good result.

Sounds like an overclock would help if it’s staying cold

i have a fx-6300 with a 550ti and my games sucks is it my cpu or graphic card

I've been running an fx 8350 for a decade, now has RX480 graphics. What an investment. A decade of use, almost 24/7 running, X Boost enabled a lot of the time. I've used for business and fun without disappointment. I hadn't even thought of upgrading until recently.

I have this old FX6300+ RX560 4Gb + 17Gb/1600 DDR3 Ram. For my 3 games useable😁

I’m running the same setup, rx570 + FX 6300 + 8GB ram. The same thing happened to me on CSGO with the frame dips. Haven’t found a solution yet, but also haven’t tried that long.

My first rig ever was an FX-6300 and Radeon 7750 2GB. It wasn't great but it played Arma 2/3, Minecraft, and Battlefield 4!

I'm still using the FX 6300 for 7 years now, and yesterday I just replaced the vga using the GTX 1650

Which motherboard compatible for this processor because I need to buy please share the link

Thanks in advance

U have to OC it. Running an stock FX 6300 makes no sense. It does too well when overclocked to the max with water cooling.

Hey I got Rx 6600xt + Fx-8350 Black Edition 16gb ram and all games are going exelent only God of War is getting low 40 fps as lowest. On the other hand Cyberpunk I can play in 4k res with Fsr Balanced at 30fps. I belive non game exists for 1080 where Iam not gonna be around 100-140fps. It was my personal experiment and it end up well. If u have no much cash u might have good pc for cheap. I tested all games no issues at all no lags no stutters nothing. Only on 4k on some games u had to switch FSR for 60fps. If u dont care about FSR U ll drop somewhere around 10-20 fps on some games. This set up was mainly for 1080 ULTRA SETTINGS gaming above 60fpses and it turns out its in almost all games 100-140fps. It migh be funny that I didnt bought ryzen 5 5600x but I wanted to see if its possible to play on Fx with rx6600xt and how much bootleneck I ll get. After overclock to 4.6gh it is even better but no needed so got back to stock with Boost on which is working like mine 4.6 overclocked without boost. Have a nice day lads and u RA Visuals. PS fx + rtx = bad idea but and fx + amd Rx = Good idea its just simple. Red loves red , green loves intel :P . If u pair rtx with fx u will lose fps as they dont like each other. other than that is not the best way but I build this pc in time of madnes prieces of components and had to know if I wasted money or not really.

what graphics card should i buy to play fifa 22
Does it bottleneck?

FX 6300 3,5 Ghz six core
MSI 760GM-P23/FX (MS-7641)
4+4 DDR 3 RAM Kingston 9905474-057.A00LF
SSD Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB
PSU Corsair 550W 80 plus bronze

I will be glad if you answer.

You have to turn on Unified monitoring in MSI afterburner, otherwise you'll see those crazy fluctuations in every game. It's not physically possible for it to only be using 10% of the GPU while it's rendering in game, images are not and will never be rendered using the CPU. Because it's not physically capable. you just have the settings wrong. Still a perfectly capable CPU but I wouldn't Pair it with anything better then an R9 380 or GTX 960, that's about where the sweet spot is and the most you'll get out of it without overclocking the snot out of it, and with the temperatures, cooler and motherboard you could comfortably hit 4.5ghz by overclocking and get significantly better performance at the same time.

Was running a FX9590 @5.6 GHz until last week. Did a great job for about 7 years. But now it was time for an upgrade.

I have a amd fx 6300 and it’s not enough so if you plan on mid-high end gaming with a cheap cpu don’t do it not worth it unless you want 30-60 fps

Still have my 8320 and have had no reason to upgrade but i do have a brand new MSI B550 mobo and havent takenf the dive for an upgrade. Just realized i dont need to yet.
