How is this CPU for Gaming?

This is a GREAT piece to have if you play ANY Arma/DayZ game as they are SO dependent on CPU vs GPU. I have a GREAT video card and those games still tax my rig, upgrading to this for my setup this year as I have used it to build a few rigs for others and it makes my 6320 BE look not so great when it is a nice CPU for the dollar.

Actually, surprisingly good. Although, what you'll really want to partner with this is a good GPU... unless you're planning on focusing more on CPU intensive games like WoW, then you'll be okay with a middle of the road GPU. I've been playing Titanfall, Assassins Creed: Black flag, BF4, (as well as some older titles) and my fps is definitely playable and pleasing to the eyes (running everything 1080p and maxed settings). I have this CPU partnered with a GTX 760 2GB... soon to be an SLI setup. Hope that helps!

I have a AMD fx 6300 6 core proccessor can i upgrade my proccessor to a AMD 8350 8 core ?

not real big on games but have played need for speed and crysis3 with no problems.

Depends. Do what everyone here says and pair it with a good GPU - I am using an EVGA 670 FTW and have had no trouble with any game maxed out. The only issue you may run into, and it is slight, many games are coded to use 1,2, or 4 cores. The 8350 is not as peppy in regards to single-core tasks. It's like having a V-8 engine but only being able to use 1 or 2 cylinders. To find out which games can take full advantage of all 8 cores, my suggestion would be to Google "(game name) CPU Core Usage" or something like that. Hope that helps.

I suggest this CPU for all facets of desktop computing; I use the 8350 both at home and work. Paired with a nice videocard, your computer will play many games on high settings with great frame rates. It is also worth noting that your videocard plays a larger role in videogame performance than the CPU.

Well paired with a Radeon R9 290 4GB, I run FC3 and AC Unity at round 50-60 FPS at the very max setting. My fx6300 couldnt do that with the same card

At stock speeds it can handle gaming as long as the gpu (graphics processing unit) / videocard is up to receiving the data transfer rate it dishes out. Faster the cpu can run and how well the gpu can process this, the better the experience will be. Just remember you don't want bottle neck your components either.

I mother board specs are great, this would be very good for gaming, that is what I use mine for and it runs great. I really think that you will be very surprised on what you get for the money with this AMD processor.

Yeah. I use it exclusively for gaming. Works pretty good. What do I play? BF3, 4, Hawken, CoDs, Crysis 2, 3 and some UT3. For something that's 20 bucks, it aint bad. If it breaks, I'll just go buy another one. I use a Logitech EX110 for work purposes. What's my game stuff? Intel i7 3770 cpu, Asus P8z77-V LK motherboard, WD 2.5 Velociraptor HDD, XFX HD7950 gpu, G.Skill 16gb 19200 ram, Corsair RM750 psu, Corsair H100i liquid cooler.

Yes, I have been using this CPU personally for several months now. No issues at all.

it is OK for mild gaming. if you want an APU that is Good for gaming, get either the newer Kaverti A8-7600 as a minimum, or any Richland or Kaverti A10 (ex. A10-6800k).

It is fine for gaming with at least 8gb of memory I purchased this processor for my sister and it works well. I personally have an A6 Richland black edition 8gb ram Asrock Fm2A88X Extreme 4+, and I run World of tanks on High as well as other games. If you really love AMD, and have the cash to spend Skip the Kivarie, and go strait to Godavari 16gb of ram an MSI board, and an SSD as a gaming drive.

I dont play too many games on it but what i have played it has done amazingly well. The graphics are absoutly amazing in my opinion and i feel the processor can handle it. I plan to try battlefield 4 on this computer in the near future.

it is a great processor, it is great for GAMING, but if you want it for gaming you need a nice graphic card

If you have the right mobo/case combination it is a good cpu. But if you are having to buy a whole set up the newer i5s and i7s are better and cheaper to make a full gaming pc.
1059825
Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

It has an i5 processor,probably an i7 processor would be better for gaming. Also, it come with 6 GB memory, but the memory is can be easily upgraded via the back panel. For my needs, it is a perfect PC for me, love the huge screen!

yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to overclock yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to... » Read More yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to overclock « Show Less

Gaming performance is will depend more on your GPU than the CPU, but yes, this should run most games quite well.
1994400
yes its good for gaming, the k indicates that it can be overclocked, also it allows for pci express 3.0 connections for your graphics cardsMost motherboards work well with it, I've personally used two asus x79 boards and can recommend both, the sabertooth x79 and rampage 4 extreme

the onboard graphics card is not that bad. not too much of a gamer, however I have played Doon 3. I have sold many of these motherboards and have no problems are the graphics.

I bought an FX 8350 along with this card, and there are absolutely no problems with either the card or the processor. It'll be able to perform amazingly on all modern games, running most at high settings, 1080p 40-60FPS

Should be okay if you don't overclock it or your cpu. It's running fine on my cheap 700watt cooler master extreme
