Low fps AC Origin

[jadson135095]

My specs are FX6100 3.30 Six-Core, 1x4gb ram and 1x8gb ram 1866mhz ddr3, amd rx460 4gb gddr5, before playing ac origin, i was playing ffxv on high-ultra with around 45fps, but my ac origin on low get 25fps and 20 on ultra, besides that ffxv have a way more beautiful graphics, only 5 fps from low to ultra is definitely wrong.

The lack of FPS change indicates the CPU is the biggest issue here.
Which it is, that processor is nowhere near the task of running that game.

Its been a while since I was thinking on changing that CPU, I thought that FX-8350 would be a good choice, I know I'm not on the right topic but what do you think?

The problem here is twofold.

First, an 8350/8370 isn't a panacea. It's a faster CPU to be sure, but it's a faster CPU on what is now a very old 2012 platform that was always a bit of a disappointment in terms of gaming. These were always better CPUs for productivity and gaming and when games really started utilizing more cores, the FX ones were still too slow to really see any kind of significant boost.

The other problem will be motherboard-based. AM3+ motherboards that aren't 990FX or some of the better 970 motherboards have a tendency to run into issues with the 125W CPUs, frequently even in cases where the motherboard is officially supported. And generally speaking, builds that start out with a 4100/6100/6300 tend to be more budget-oriented, so it wouldn't have made sense to have a top-end AM3+ motherboard in the first place. So the feasibility would depend on what exact motherboard you have.

Thats a problema too, my motherboard is pretty old, Asus M5A78L-M LX, if i would change that i probably would pick an AM4 ddr4 and use it with a Ryzen, and i dont know If my PSU would be enough (xfx 400w xt), that way i would be changing everything on my PC but the GPU, both PSU and GPU are almost new (2017), what i did was an upgrade on a old PC, what do you think, change the entire PC but the GPU? An good Motherboard with Ryzen 5 is on my mind, and later on i would change to a better GPU like 1070 or 1080.

Yeah, you wouldn't want to run a 125W CPU on that (ASUS doesn't even officially support any 125W CPUs on that motherboard).

Your best move is likely an upgrade; if that's the path you're going, I wouldn't put any money into this current rig. There are a lot of great budget Ryzen motherboards. It's a quality platform and AMD's best in a long time. I loved my old Phenom II 965 back in its day, but the Ryzens are even better now than the Phenom IIs were then.
