AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz gaming on low/ medium settings?

[Guest]

can i play games (gtav bf4 farcry etc) at 60+ fps with AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz while on low/medium settings at 1080

Depends on your GPU ??

The 6300 will run BF4 when paired with a proper GPU. By itself it will not, as it is not an APU.

offline yes without a doubt (assuming you have a good gpu)
online, AMD doesnt do good on bf4 64 player servers or when you get into big fights in any game for some reason, so expect 30-40 plus on low or medium settings in online if u have a good gpu though you could run ultra 60 fps but hwen you get into any large battles amd just cant handle it it seem like

i got a EVGA 02G-P4-2754-KR GeForce GTX 750 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Superclocked Video Card

im new to computer building

That GPU will hold you back a bit. FX 6300 can support an r9 280, 280x or GTX 960, 970 very nicely.

The FX 6300 is unlocked. With a decent CPU cooler you can get a 4.4-4.5GHz OC on near stock voltage. Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a good match for this CPU without being too expensive.

Stock for stock, FX 6300 performs like an i5 4440.

If a 6300 is performing like an i5 stock for stock, the game isn't very cpu demanding (which can happen at times). Even shadow of mordor which isn't all that cpu demanding runs better on an i3 than the 6300 @ 720p. Once the resolution is turned up higher and more load is placed on the gpu it may not matter as much. Shadow of mordor runs on just about anything. A good indicator is when at 720 (when there should be more work placed on the cpu) an i3 2100 runs as fast as a 4770k i7.

Even at 1200, the 6350 falls a good 15fps behind a locked 3rd gen i5 in far cry 4.

Ryse son of rome isn't very cpu demanding either, a simulated dual core system was pushing 50fps and quad/hex + were all running over 100fps. It's more gpu intensive.

A 4th gen locked i5 had 10fps better average and higher min fps than the 6300 in metro last light. For that matter a 4th gen i3 did nearly as well as the fx 6300.

That same benchmark page showed tomb raider is also not much of a cpu strain since the fx 4300 performed like an i7.

The common theme I'm seeing is that so long as people are playing gpu intensive games that will run on any cpu the 6300 can keep up. In many of these a dual core cpu would keep up. Once you get into a cpu intensive game, fx chips fall behind. It's almost like cheering because a weaker cpu can play solitaire just as fast as an i5 or i7. The reason we should take into account the first game is because when a user attempts to play something that actually taxes the cpu, locked i5's easily surpass fx chips.
