Most AAA developers dropped support for it, and it's getting frustrating not being able to play the new games. Latest one is AC origins, and ubisoft being ubisoft, refused to path it.
May just upgrade to a Ryzen eventually. Need some good deals on it.
damn I was hoping this could replace my Phenom II, but it seems my motherboard has an AM3 socket and doesn't support AM3+ processors. Oh well, thanks anyway OP
Processor Only
If you are only surfing with perhaps some casual photo or video editing then perhaps not, depends on what you are doing, the fx6300 is also a pretty good processor in it's own right.EverydayCloudy wrote: ↑Feb 11th, 2018 2:56 pmI currently have the fx 6300 would this be a good upgrade?
Lol, because that thing is powerful enough for most and many of us still have the hardware to use it with and don't want to pay the high prices newer gear is going for presently, and most of us are not merely keyboard jockeying, sticker numbers reading, bench mark junkies. Aaand it's cheap even for what it presently is to some.
This cpu has actually gotten better as software is taking advantage of its feature set much better than 5 years ago, there is nothing worong with this cpu, except it is not the most power effeicient and once overclocked it is fine for majority of users easily except die hard gamers.
