Will an AMD FX 8350 overclocked to 5.1 GHz be sufficient enough for Fallout 4?

[TheLegendOfChin]

In the system requirements for Fallout 4, it recommends that (for AMD) you use a 9590 at 5.1 GHz. I have an FX 8350 and plan on buying a liquid cooler to OC, and I was just wondering if I would get the same results with this processor? I really don't want to replace the processor, as I'm extremely happy with this one.

Why, certainly. Even at stock it will be enough. Those "requirement" specs should be taken with the proverbial 'grain of salt'.

Depends on your GPU, really...
Your CPU is just fine I think, I'm playing Fallout 4 on an E8400 Core 2 Duo Intel Processor and it do just fine...
