@@bluengold3443 8th gen (with 6 cores in the i5 and i7) was in development before ryzen launched.

Yes, it got hot, yes it had high power draw but 40-50 FPS in every AAA title at the time. I usually did much better in DX12 and the lower AMD driver overhead really helped too. I told the guy he can remove the overclock if he wants but it's better to keep it and that it's an older platform that he may want to upgrade in the future - but he was super happy with it last I heard.

It's rock solid. nobody believes it's an fx build when they try it. The logic behind my build was just optimize what it natively can handle and it seems to be just as good/better than some turned up rigs. Runs so much cooler than others with the undervolt so it automatically turbos like 100% of the time anyway.

@@AeDoEOEoE i really won't bother with 8350. FX was great, but it really isn't the best option anymore, even for budget builds. I won't even recommend anyone still on AM3+ to get it. I'd invest a bit more and get AM4 instead. A Ryzen 5600 setup with a b450m motherboard and 16gb of ddr4 ram can be had for around $200, or add a bit more for b550, and that setup would outperform any AM3+ setup by a massive margin.

It would run over 4.6 GHz at stock voltage, I daily’d it at 4.8, stable at 5.2 and benched it as high as 5.6 but it was HOT haha. I paired it with a GTX 780 and other than benchmarks I had no complaints at all. It was a great little cpu at the time. These days I’m using a 7950X3D and couldn’t be happier but I miss the days of tweaking the FX chips to try and squeeze as much performance as possible out of ‘em.

[@RJARRRPCGP]

My FX 8350, also a 2014 batch, was OC'ed to 4.4, even when it likely could go higher, I didn't even increase the Vcore! But my revision was prone to getting hot and shutting down while x.264'ing. I only kept the system for some months! I should have kept it, as I got an Asus Sabertooth 990 FX R2.0 for it in summer, 2015!

Hello, you can still squeeze out performance from the 7950X3D. Since the CPUs OC themselves out-of-the-box, it's all about RAM tuning and underclocking though.

It's crazy how much CPU progress slowed down in these last 12 years. Imagine going back to 2012 and trying to run games from that time on Pentium 3/4.

[@PineyJustice]

CPU progress has not slowed down, the difference is modern hardware is so much faster than required that pulling 200 fps isn't uncommon for the cpus. Games are not increasing in demand, particularly the cpu side like they were 20 years ago.

[@Samqdf]

@@PineyJustice CPU progress has definitely slowed down. This is a result of the non linear returns that result from shrinking the lithography process for every generation. For example on top of the general diminishing returns the input/output part of CPU dies can't be scaled down to the same level as the other transistors. This is why the trend has been to go for ever increasing amount of cores, it's a form of sideways rather than forward development. This is going to be considerably more of an issue over the next 5 years as well. None of this is even mentioning thermal limits which Intel is already at the limit with. There will be some decent progress still such as AMD going to a different interconnect type between the chiplets for a much reduced latency but overall things are just not going to be as exciting as they used to be.

[@PineyJustice]

@@Samqdf It depends what metric you look at, but no, cpu progress has most definitely not slowed down. I own both a 7950x and a 5950x, for gaming the 7950x is only what, 20-30% faster, but for tasks like video export, shader compile, decompression/compression and lots of other tasks the 7950x can be 50-100% faster. And that's comparing a 2 year old cpu to a 3.5 year old cpu. Zen 5 is coming in just a few months and it's looking like huge gains once again. The only cpu generation not getting much progress was 13900k to 14900k, because they're both basically 12900ks with more OC.

[@Trick-Framed]

You didn't set this up right. The motherboard, memory and OC are all sub par. You need to super-tune this. I own an FX 8350 and a 9590 water cooled. I have both a 990x and a Sabertooth 990FX and I can get the chip to 5 Ghz with a 5.2 Ghz Turbo core with a 300 watt TDP cooler. I run 32GB DDR3 2400 or 16GB DDR3 2133. Fun facts: After OCing everything including the memory you can get the single core IPC of a Sandy bridge i5 2500 with the Multi core of an i7 4770. That in itself would have given you about ~15-20% more frames than you got here and would have smoothed out the frame time graph significantly. I can see you didn't go down the all out trail. Considering this processor is old enough to be cheap to build the best you could from it, it's worth it for a review like this. One last fun thing to do, drop a line in your bios to boot from a PCIe card and install an NVMe on it. Sure, it's slower than 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 but it's still faster than a standard SSD on SATA6.

I built it with a 2080S and a Ryzen 9 3900X, as well as upgrading to a 1440p 144hz monitor, and that's when I discovered the true magic of playing on PC compared to console. I haven't been able to go back since then, and at this point I use a QD-OLED ultrawide monitor with a 4090 and 7800X3D. I've got a beast PC by now, but I won't forget those first experiences I had with my 1060/FX6350 system, even if these days I now know how bad the FX chips were even for their day.

I used to run the 8350 as my daily driver until 2 years ago when I switched to Ryzen. Had a simple 4.7ghz oc. Mostly a 50 fps experience, Surprised to see Valorant running over 60 here, I had to lock mine to 50 fps to make the game feel stable as it dropped from 70+ to mid 50s frequently

[@ford1546]

All you AMD FX8350 testers are thinking 100% wrong! Yes it is a 12 year old CPU. This generation only has PCI-e 2.0, while 1000 series GPUs like the GTX1060 require PCI-e 3.0. PCI-e 2.0 means that you can never use 100% of GPU power! FX8350 is also a bottleneck and you should turn off GPU hardware acceleration! But think of this in a different way! It's not all about gaming all the time! You can buy less good computers, laptops nowadays that are worse than the amd FX8350! The AMD FX8350 is a super good CPU. for everything else but not new games and heavier video editing. I run an FX8350 in my main computer. I don't play games and I don't video edit. Windows 11 is very responsive and starts up quickly with SSD. What AMD should have done with the FX8350 was to have 8 processor cores that had their own FSB. 8 pcs. communication roads instead of only 4. The FX8350 can only receive 4 data streams at once. correct me if i'm wrong. I have. 800w power supply. 16GB memory. sabertooth fx990 main board. cooler master hyper 212. GTX 1060 6gb.

[@rotorglow6110]

A mild overclock of 4.6ghz - 4.8ghz removes the stutter surprisingly.

[@alrightylol]

Fx 8 series was awesome deal for the price, it was way cheaper then second gen i7 competitor of that time+ boards from what i remember was cheaper, ive got actual new pc on that proccessor at 2013 i think for around 550$-600$. + it overclocked rly well, i did know guys who run it around 5ghz for years.

[@shifty5917]

Bro, you did it all wrong, FX8350 is better than this. You need to OC CPU NB to 2600 and make sure you use dual rank RAM. It would give you around +10% more performance which is quite significant. Here bro did everything perfectly, the perfect OC: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHm9oIJnr8lrgLs

[@MrSamadolfo]

🙂 thanks for the tip, i'll check it out, i just picked up a couple FX8350 gaming rigs and i never really worked on amd motherboards before, better late than never to learn 😊

[@shifty5917]

@@MrSamadolfo You should have went for 2600k setups instead xD But yeah AMD FX was kinda huge in Russian speaking countries. People were fighting over it. "Pentium g4560 is better than this shitty AMD FX!" "Even 2500k is better than fx8350!" But in fact it's a pretty okay budget CPU. If you OC north bridge (CPU NB) and make sure it has dual rank ram on 1600 Mhz at least then it's the same as stock i7 2600k. Btw there is no point in OCing FX too much. Don't go past 4500 (I keep mine at 4200). The OC of the cores themselves doesn't do much (unlike with intel CPUs).

Nvidia is horrible when paired with old/slow CPU-s because one of your CPU cores belongs to Nvidia driver. ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°) As shown in this video: "Nvidia Has a Driver Overhead Problem, GeForce vs Radeon on Low-End CPUs" by Hardware Unboxed.

[@losguy3183]

Thank you for the review AMD FX-8300's series...CPU from 2012 Man times flys... my first build was parts from micro center an AMD FX-4100 in July 2014 with gpu 580 ti. Crazy I know, I know... it was great for Pubg when it first came out 2017.. The AMD FX-4100 was in use until 2018 then I up graded the cpu to a AMD FX-8300 in August 2018 for about $100 used and change the gpu to 1650 in 2019.. it was so bad...in 2018 and 2019 playing games.. I had build new pc went with AMD Ryzen 5 5600X in April of 2022 just WOW it not even close...Just playing youtube to working and games thee six core's of AM4 is so amazing wish I went with Ryzen sooner... I for got I was on 720p 20inch monitor when on first build and now on 1440p 27inch

It's one of those platforms that you'd rather throw an RTX 2060 in it and give it to your kid or something. It's really not too terrible all things considered.

[@PineyJustice]

Using an nvidia gpu really hurts your performance with these as they have much higher driver overhead. Get a used 5600xt or 5700xt and go with that instead.

[@SrWolf90]

When RDR2 came out, I could only play it on FX8350, on the Ryzen 2700 I wasn't even able to run it, it threw an error. The 8350 in RDR2 performs much better than the 4-core CPUs of its generation. And the FX8350 is not slow, it is a server processor, I have had an i7 2600 and an FX8350, and the FX8350 as virtual machines, HEVC decoding, and some workstation tasks performed much better than the i7 2600. Even on the desktop it still behaves quite well, it can view 4k videos without acceleration with a bitrate of 60Mbps, it is something incredible, the i7 I had stuttered, which with the other one always remained stable. The only good thing I notice about the i7 2600 is its good performance in video games.

[@gojiraforbreakfast]

With 2 of them in the house still. One with gtx 1070 and the other with rx580. Using them as Linux gaming boxes for older titles.

I had 1 of these FXs way back in the day. Wasn't bad, ran it for years

[@DrEvilTag]

I used an FX 8320 from mid 2014 to mid 2016, the game that made me upgrade was BF1 since even with my GTX 970 I would drop below 60fps, kept the GTX 970 but got a Ryzen 2600 and I kept 60+fps all the time

My backup system is an fx-8370 with a Radeon RX 580. They are almost perfectly balanced to each other. So, I'd say the 1050ti (at less then half the RX 580) is actually holding it back.

[@Bandit1978]

I used an 8350 all the way up til the Ryzen CPUs released and it got me through everything just fine including streaming on twitch.

[@blindfire3167]

I remember when this came out, I got it 6 months later not knowing much about PCs and being new to hardware as I started going to college for CSCI. I had it recommended to me by a friend based on it being decent for gaming but a beast compiling and launching programs I made for school, but of course it was absolutely bad at playing any game at all. I also used the M5A97 but the LE R2.0 and the frame drops were so much worse. It was a 1 4-pin connector and would hit 135-140W for me before stuttering and dipping down to around 30 fps for 2 seconds and then would push on back to ~80 fps.

[@Reitaliation]

Suprisingly ok, for such an old CPU. Way better than i expected

[@lightosama3127]

I guess how FX 9590 is doing in 2024

[@IZAN_OFF]

Intel gaming processors for 15 or 20 years there where amd started in 2017 before its it was only office processors so it was sure and certain that the result would not be incredible but its remains quite acceptable for such an old processor that is intended for office automation some old gaming processors did less well :)

[@Artanis02sk]

I never understood why people hated FX series so much, I was on an FX6300 until last year and it worked absolutely fine.

[@heisenburgerking3621]

cuz programs and windows back then had no idea how to use more than 4 cores so an i3-2100 destroyed an FX 8350. but nowadays FX 8350 destroys i3-2100 and can put up a good fight against i7-3770

[@andrewcrocker22]

[@basbas63]

Reallly cool to see it stretched in modern games with a fast GPU. :D These chips are interesting. Not to use but because of their rather unique design. They made use of "Clustered Multithreading" which is a technology in which some parts of a traditional CPU core are present for each thread but other parts are shared between two threads. In that sense their are neither a 4 core nor an 8 core compared to modern CPUs. Personally suspect that how software has been designed to use a CPU can have a big impact on what the FX8350 can deliver, however, I am not an expert on this, I could be wrong. This might also be why some modern games run alright-ish and others barely.

[@nithia]

Had one of these back in 2012 with dual XFX 7870s in crossfire xD With liquid cooling mine ran about at those temps you were seeing so I dont think it is showing wrong data, or at least not too far off if it is.

[@Bluedion]

I am still live on this processor.

[@amdintelxsniperx]

the key to fx is northbridge and ram clocks with super low latency. htt speed isnt as important and is happy at 2600 if your board is good getting 2800 nb and htt will net you a huge performance increase as long as your fsb is at 220 to 240 . at those speeds even at 4.8 ghz you should have i7 3770/ i7 4770 ish performance

[@2528drevas]

I'm currently building a Windows 7 PC with the 8350...just because I have the parts and why not? I want to get my Steam Library loaded to it before Steam will no longer allow it to connect. Hopefully I haven't waited too long.

[@kevinedward6132]

If games had actually been coded to use the CPU properly instead of the Intel 2 core 4 thread bullshit they sold us for years it could have been great back then, I'm still using an 8370 and it works surprisingly well considering how old it is tbh
