This is because you listen to fans. A couple of us really wanted the 8350 in modern day video and you came through, so I appreciate you for it brother. Thank you. Anyway, now on to the video. It's nice to look back on old stuff I used to have. Crazy to see it still at least do its best with modern games. That and the Athlon apu I ran in highschool/college really got me started in PC gaming. I miss them sometimes even tho I have a total battleship gaming rig now lmao.
@@zWORMzGaming Glad you did. Spider-Man was performing unexpected well. Also amazing what was going on in Hogwards Legacy. I never thought the FX8350 would do any playable experience in those two titles.
@@Ciffer-1998 it also makes competitors lazy since there is no competition. Do you think intel would've stepped up their game if ryzen didn't exist? We'd probably still have dual core i3s and quad core i7s right now if amd went bankrupt then
@@bluengold3443 but thats the point they wouldn't step it up which means hardware will remain the same and as such developers would need to make it optimised for that same old hardware which further means you dont need to upgrade
@@bluengold3443 8th gen (with 6 cores in the i5 and i7) was in development before ryzen launched. While more cores earlier would be nice, it wasn't really feasible due to transistors being too big until at least the 14nm node (nevermind being expensive on a monolithic die). So no, we definitely wouldn't have dual core i3 and quad core i7 nowadays even if ryzen didn't exist/was less succesful.
I used my AMD FX-8350 from 2013 to 2022 and paired with graphics cards: GTX 560 Ti, 4GB GTX 770, and GTX 1060. Loved it. Nothing great benchmarkwise. But, it was quietly running my games. Old faithful kinda like a mutt.
Absolutely! I used mine for 8 years. Sure it sucks compared to modern CPUs in 2024, but for the mid 2010s it was fantastic. It ran Cyberpunk at 1080p with my GTX 1060.
@@AleksandrStrizhevskiy good cpu in its day. Was a massive upgrade for gaming over my old athlon 750k, got me through many years of gaming paired with r9 380/385x then i upgraded to a rtx2060. i've been using i5 12400f/4060ti for past few years quite good combo although i'd like to go 12600kf/4070 next time i rebuild
It's insane so many games even launch. The cpu perf increase per generation has REALLLY slowed down. It is crazy. If you had gotten a cpu in the year 2000, no matter how high end, and you tried to play ANYTHING in 2012, not only couldn't you even launch the game, but you couldn't install the game, and most likely couldn't even install the OS that was supposed to run the game. Now, you can get what back in 2004 was considered absolutely acceptable performance, on a 12 year old cpu, which is INSANE. Office pc's can now probably, basically last forever as a consequence. This wasn't the case 20 years ago.
At the end of the pandemic, I sold a fully overclocked FX 8350 (NB, HT, RAM, subtimings, etc) system with an RX 570 4GB for 300€ (at the time, still a good price) to a guy who just wanted to play single player titles. 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. I was surprised when he told me he was really enjoying Hogwarts Legacy
@@aleksazunjic9672These FX CPUs really needed some tinkering with HT, NB and RAM to perform well. I was surprised how the FX 8350 he tested at 4,4 GHz + 1886 MHz RAM performed worse in CS2 than the FX 6300 I tested at 4 GHz + 1333 MHz CL 9 RAM + Tweaked HT + HD 7850 at low settings and FSR Perf (The GPU was the bottleneck even at 1080p Low with FSR P), I'd guess the Nvidia Driver overhead and maybe a lack of HT/NB tweaking limited the performance quite significantly.
@@ismaelsoto9507 Agree, but FX tweaking is a topic on its own. Average user would not know how to do that, and even less about which card should he buy to get less driver overhead.
Tinkering is half the fun with these. My side rig for iracing is an 8350 at stock speeds (but undervolted as far as i reliably can) 280 AIO, 32gb ram (4x8gb @1333 cl8-8-8-20? if i remember right), rx580 red devil, and all the other usual junk, wifi card, ssd, ect ect. 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. The UPS says when im racing with tier 1 graphics options (default highest) its only pulling about 225W peak, pretty tame.
I had my FX 8350 + GTX 980 Ti rig up to November 2023, played for 10 years on that pc and it was still doing a decent job on the games I played. I sold everything on eBay and got a 7800X3D with a 4070 ti
@@swiftxrapid919 heh heh I meant my EVGA 980ti Classified - I couldn't be bothered correcting my typo, also pretty sure I do also have 970 if not the ti!
The fact that this even works at all is amazing considering that when this CPU was released, a 12 year old CPU was a late Pentium III or early Pentium 4 and utterly unusable.
It's not amazing. You're forgetting something: Xbox One and PS4 had abysmal CPUs, therefore, game developers couldn't develop games with high CPU requirements if they also wanted to release them on those systems. I don't complain, because that allowed me to use a 4670K up until mid-2023.
future poof af .. Fx is total underdog. always was. i opted for fx because it was cheap on used market full thing cpu mobo ram cooler for a Decent price. while old and grampy.. it still does things the phenom 2 wasnt doing.. gogo avx.
I fell for the “world’s first eight core desktop cpu” hype when the FX series launched. First pc build was an 8150 and then upgraded to 8350. 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.
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.
@@rockapartie Yes, I'm currently using PBO with per-core negative CO. Running @6000 RAM with timings from buildzoid and I've lowered voltages where possible. Right now I'm working on getting the memory latency as low as I can. I'm always learning something new. 👍
The crazy thing about the FX is even after 12 years, it can still reasonably run modern games. Pretty insane, considering that back in early 2000s when I first started on PCs, a 4-5 y.o old CPU was considered an obsolete piece of junk. I own an FX-6300 from 2013 and might even hold out until AM5 setups get cheaper before upgrading.
you sound like you have a bit more experience so quick question: Ive got a motherboard with an am3+ socked (msi 970...) running a amd fx 6300 + nvidia 1080ti and im looking for a better performance than 100fps in valorant(cpu is the bottleneck in my system as far as i know) Do i take a chance at this fx 8350 or do i invest a bit more and get a new motherboard to be able to get newer gen's of cpu? the fx8350 is apperantly at less than 80$ atm
@@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.
@@AeDoEOEoE you're welcome. Anyway, if you have the budget, it's better to go with AM5, since it still has upgradeability. It's quite a bit more expensive than AM4 though. I'm still on the FX and is considering saving up and go AM5 instead of AM4, though I'd wait until Ryzen 9000 came out and see if the 7000 series get a price cut.
I had this cpu back around 2016, man, even back then when I was using 1080p monitor with a GTX 590, it was not enough... when I built a new 2600X system, it was such a massive leap in performance
Yeah, same. I had a 8320 and it couldn't even max out my rx570 4GB lol. Switched to a 9th gen i5 and my frames doubled-tripled in some games and with much higher graphics settings. They were overhyped because even brand new they cost like a 3 member family's McDonald's menus. For that money they were just fine.
@0:44 That spider really loved the fx 8350! xD So do I ! By the way if you set northbridge at 2400 mhz or more , overclock the cpu to like 4.5 ghz or more you can see big gains from this cpu in gaming. I would like to see how a tuned fx 8350 fares on your next videos!
@@zWORMzGaming yeah fx overclocking isnt really complete without memory overclock to frequency, northbridge overclock, and cpu core overclock. if you look at the channel 'RA Tech' he has done a lot of content on fx cpus, and how to overclock them.
@@zWORMzGaming Lol, I left a similar comment, but yeah, you can get massively more performance out of them and not even touch the power draw on them. Hypertransport and ram overclocking is what really polishes these up.
Yeah! NB + RAM Overclock (if Kryzp has 2400MHz DDR3 the improvement will be HUUUGE) and atleast 4.5 on the core, will make a real nice improvement... FXs are not good, but really funny to tune 😊 I'd expect performance close to a i7 3770 if not more with that tune
One of these was in my gaming rig until I got my first Ryzen (3600). I recently revived it, added an SSD and a 1660 super. Now it makes an acceptable low spec system, capable of some 1080p gaming. Nice to see you put one through its paces,
@@daytimerocker3808 the Problem is which one of the FX8350 u had catched it gave a better Performing one the FX 8350 Octacore Black edition then AMD FX-8350 Wraith Black Edition and the AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Tray
I absolutely loved my FX-8350. Had it for about 10 years. Overclocked to around 4.6/4.8GHZ most of the time, i didnt start noticing how slow it had become right around the time Cyberpunk 2077 came out. I was rocking the 8350 + GTX 960 2GB in 2020 haha. it was bad. upgraded to a used gtx 1070 at some point. somehow i lasted with the FX 8350 + GTX 1070 8GB until 2024.
heads up...I move from AMD FX-8300...to ryzen 5 5600x and rtx 3060 12gb crazy good... if your keeping the RTX 3060 and moving to 5700x it will be really great...if you get a better gpu greater than 3080 10gb or better you should look into a 5700x3d higher fps with most games.. but 3060 will not give you more FPS with 5700x3d and ryzen 7 5700x will do better
Used a 1050ti and an fx 8350 since 4 months ago lmao. It REALLY struggled in any modern singleplayer game, but i had decent performance in most competitive games (at low-medium). Incredibly it also was ok at emulation. Now that i upgraded the difference is incredible tho
Test it with overclocking! I used it overclocked about 2 years ago and some games like the ones you posted were running much better thanks to the overclock.
With 2nd gen FX 6 or 8-core you can still run most of day to day office work, basic productivity apps, youtube, email and Internet related stuff. Just add an SSD and cheap second hand DDR3 8GB sticks. I say this because I have one just like this, just across my desk as second machine. But for heavy multitheaded apps and gaming, please use something newer.
if u have a good mainboard and okayish Ram u can basicly paired with a 2060 still game with it just have to be good at settings and keep a eye on what for settings u use and it works great i test atm a A4 10000 and a A4 5300 and was shocked how good they run with 1080 980 and 2060 on board O_O
i still game on mine its fine problem is I have a kid now and really gaming is a 2x a week at most event for me so its not relaly a problem plus the new titles dont interest me much anymore
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.
@@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.
@@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.
One thing those 8-core fx-83xx CPUs were surprisingly good was x264 encoding. I bought one for my 2 pc streaming setup back in the time because it had better price-performance ratio than Intel ones, especially with getting like fx-8320 and then overclocking it.
I can confirm, I don't usually encode, but I did decode 4K HEVC movies on the 8350 with a completely stable 60Mbps bitrate without frame drops, and I tried an i7 2600, that was never able to show the same stable HEVC mkv, it had constant framedrops.
that sniff test b roll of the dog was perfection mate. I think a lot of people are in my situation where upgrading beyond this requires a mobo and ram and cpu all at once so squeezing everything out of AM3 is an attractive option
I guess what also makes it less worthy is it's power draw. With an older Ryzen cpu and some 2014-ish video card (like a GTX680) I can manage an overall 60-70W power draw. Yeah, I set the game settings to meet the power draw.
Try gaming on a Core 2 Duo, 6GB of RAM, and a Geforce 210. Going from that to an FX8320, 16GB of DDR3 RAM, and a Radeon HD 7950 3GB is quite an upgrade. 😂
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.
I have a 9370 and honestly it's just an official high volted amd cpu. If your 8000 series can clock well with more voltage, you'll get the same thing. For me personally, I run everything at 4ghz and undervolt at the same time.
This AMD CPU was the first one I owned built a pretty nice system with it at the time paired with a ATI-AMD 4670 GPU was a pretty good system at the time.
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
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
🤠 yay, im late to the party, i recently picked up 3 AM3+ gaming pcs, gonna start rebuilding them this weekend and see if they still work, i ordered some cpus too, an FX6300 & FX8300
Thank you for posting this. I literally run the upgraded version of this. I forget what it's called, but I believe it's the 9350 without searching. 0:29
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
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.
@@cannerbal I still have both. I should have sold them. Based on pricing, still can but I just can't seem to let go of the 8350. The 990x and the FX 9590 with its cooler can go but the 990fx and the 8350 will ride the closet next to my Apple gear from decades past.
@@Trick-Framed I’ve still got my old fx 8350 it was in one of the best asrock motherboards you could get for am3+ and it was water cooled and overclocked but my pump and motherboard died around the same time whilst I was moving house so I had to put it in some crap £50 biostar motherboard whilst i put aside money for an am4 cpu and motherboard but I still have my fx 8350 and I’m gonna try to recreate the original build with a similar motherboard
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.
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: ua-cam.com/video/zHZoO1zd8JY/v-deo.html
🙂 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 😊
@@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).
@@shifty5917 😊 heehee ok thanks, i made a note of ur tips and i'll look into it, thanks for the info and today i'l have some Vodka and I'll have a Toast for you, Happy Memorial Day Weekend
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.
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.
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.
This was my first gaming cpu. It served me for 4 years. And another 3 years for a friend of mine which i gave the pc to. Crazy to see it still can game
built my first computer back in 2016 for around $200 with this, an r7 260x, and salvaged prebuild case/psu combo lol. as a 16 year old who paid for his first pc himself the thing was a beast, when the first gen ryzen came out i called it a ryzen killer lol. tons of overclock potential.
I remember buying my first PC from a friend's friend back in late 2018. It had a 1060 and an AMD 6350. I paired it with a budget 1080p 144hz monitor, and at the time it ran games like Minecraft, R6 Siege and Fallout way better than it did on console. I waited until early 2020 to build my next PC. I built it with a 2080S and a Ryzen 9 3900X, as well as upgrading to a 1440p 144hz monitor, and that's when I discovered the true magic of playing on PC compared to console. I haven't been able to go back since then, and at this point I use a QD-OLED ultrawide monitor with a 4090 and 7800X3D. I've got a beast PC by now, but I won't forget those first experiences I had with my 1060/FX6350 system, even if these days I now know how bad the FX chips were even for their day.
One one of my last cpus many years ago was a 8350 on the grind up building where im at now from years ago, love to check in on my old companion and how it does.
Amazing how it went from bottom of tbe gaming pile when Core 2 Duos were all the trend for gaming but then ended up hanging around for years as game engines started to use more cores.
Fx 8 series was awesome deal for the price, it was way cheaper then second gen i7 competitor of that time+ boards from what i remember was cheaper, ive got actual new pc on that proccessor at 2013 i think for around 550$-600$. + it overclocked rly well, i did know guys who run it around 5ghz for years.
Thanks for the video Kryzzpo!! I always said you're a one of a kind UA-camr. 👍 I always loved your energy also. Oh and yes the 2 year badge!!!!! 🔥 When you restart the shader compilation in warzone/CoD MW3 you need to restart the game i believe.
Thank you once again for all of the support 😃🤗 Glad you enjoy the videos! Gotcha, it took like 10-15 minutes to load the shaders to 6%, then I clicked restart, I'd need to spend like an hour waiting I guess hahaha
I still have my fx8350 paired with a 1060 6gb with 16gbs DDR3 ram and 1tb SSD. It actually "runs" pretty much everything I want In 1080p at 60ish fps. Lot of good games can run smoothly on this setup despite the age.
I found this CPU open box at a Goodwill for $10 once. Best deal ever. It was listed for $20 but it was a half off Saturday. Performance to dollar ratio is insane.
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.
Thanks for making me feel better about my skills as a Helldivers 2 player. I get that you're just doing a demo for your video, but you should still be using the dive key to help you dodge the hoard! Watching you play this game was frustrating.
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.

@@Ciffer-1998 it also makes competitors lazy since there is no competition. Do you think intel would've stepped up their game if ryzen didn't exist? We'd probably still have dual core i3s and quad core i7s right now if amd went bankrupt then
@@bluengold3443 but thats the point they wouldn't step it up which means hardware will remain the same and as such developers would need to make it optimised for that same old hardware which further means you dont need to upgrade
@@bluengold3443 8th gen (with 6 cores in the i5 and i7) was in development before ryzen launched. While more cores earlier would be nice, it wasn't really feasible due to transistors being too big until at least the 14nm node (nevermind being expensive on a monolithic die). So no, we definitely wouldn't have dual core i3 and quad core i7 nowadays even if ryzen didn't exist/was less succesful.
I used my AMD FX-8350 from 2013 to 2022 and paired with graphics cards: GTX 560 Ti, 4GB GTX 770, and GTX 1060. Loved it. Nothing great benchmarkwise. But, it was quietly running my games. Old faithful kinda like a mutt.

The cpu perf increase per generation has REALLLY slowed down. It is crazy.
If you had gotten a cpu in the year 2000, no matter how high end, and you tried to play ANYTHING in 2012, not only couldn't you even launch the game, but you couldn't install the game, and most likely couldn't even install the OS that was supposed to run the game.
Now, you can get what back in 2004 was considered absolutely acceptable performance, on a 12 year old cpu, which is INSANE.
Office pc's can now probably, basically last forever as a consequence. This wasn't the case 20 years ago.

At the end of the pandemic, I sold a fully overclocked FX 8350 (NB, HT, RAM, subtimings, etc) system with an RX 570 4GB for 300€ (at the time, still a good price) to a guy who just wanted to play single player titles. 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. I was surprised when he told me he was really enjoying Hogwarts Legacy
System you had was slightly better than PS4 Pro, and at that time PS5 only came out and games were still made for PS4. Therefore, no surprise.
@@aleksazunjic9672These FX CPUs really needed some tinkering with HT, NB and RAM to perform well.
I was surprised how the FX 8350 he tested at 4,4 GHz + 1886 MHz RAM performed worse in CS2 than the FX 6300 I tested at 4 GHz + 1333 MHz CL 9 RAM + Tweaked HT + HD 7850 at low settings and FSR Perf (The GPU was the bottleneck even at 1080p Low with FSR P), I'd guess the Nvidia Driver overhead and maybe a lack of HT/NB tweaking limited the performance quite significantly.
@@ismaelsoto9507 Agree, but FX tweaking is a topic on its own. Average user would not know how to do that, and even less about which card should he buy to get less driver overhead.
Tinkering is half the fun with these. My side rig for iracing is an 8350 at stock speeds (but undervolted as far as i reliably can) 280 AIO, 32gb ram (4x8gb @1333 cl8-8-8-20? if i remember right), rx580 red devil, and all the other usual junk, wifi card, ssd, ect ect. 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. The UPS says when im racing with tier 1 graphics options (default highest) its only pulling about 225W peak, pretty tame.

The fact that this even works at all is amazing considering that when this CPU was released, a 12 year old CPU was a late Pentium III or early Pentium 4 and utterly unusable.
True! Impressive in some games

It's not amazing. You're forgetting something: Xbox One and PS4 had abysmal CPUs, therefore, game developers couldn't develop games with high CPU requirements if they also wanted to release them on those systems. I don't complain, because that allowed me to use a 4670K up until mid-2023.
future poof af .. Fx is total underdog. always was. i opted for fx because it was cheap on used market full thing cpu mobo ram cooler for a Decent price. while old and grampy.. it still does things the phenom 2 wasnt doing.. gogo avx.
I fell for the “world’s first eight core desktop cpu” hype when the FX series launched. First pc build was an 8150 and then upgraded to 8350. 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.
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.
Oops, I meant undervolting.
@@rockapartie Yes, I'm currently using PBO with per-core negative CO. Running @6000 RAM with timings from buildzoid and I've lowered voltages where possible. Right now I'm working on getting the memory latency as low as I can. I'm always learning something new. 👍
8350 ipc was literally on par with Phenom II, outdated technology already at the time of its release.
Makes me feel old I'm 30 and I wanted this cpu back then, but it also makes me feel good about my i5 12400.
The crazy thing about the FX is even after 12 years, it can still reasonably run modern games.
Pretty insane, considering that back in early 2000s when I first started on PCs, a 4-5 y.o old CPU was considered an obsolete piece of junk.
I own an FX-6300 from 2013 and might even hold out until AM5 setups get cheaper before upgrading.
you sound like you have a bit more experience so quick question:
Ive got a motherboard with an am3+ socked (msi 970...) running a amd fx 6300 + nvidia 1080ti and im looking for a better performance than 100fps in valorant(cpu is the bottleneck in my system as far as i know)
Do i take a chance at this fx 8350 or do i invest a bit more and get a new motherboard to be able to get newer gen's of cpu?
the fx8350 is apperantly at less than 80$ atm
@@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.
@@ViollinneElizabeth alright thanks man - appreciate it
@@AeDoEOEoE you're welcome.
Anyway, if you have the budget, it's better to go with AM5, since it still has upgradeability. It's quite a bit more expensive than AM4 though.

My biggest issue with AM3+ were not the CPU'S. It was the motherboards with ass power MOSFETs. Overclocking would inevitably kill most motherboards.
Used a 1050ti and an fx 8350 since 4 months ago lmao. It REALLY struggled in any modern singleplayer game, but i had decent performance in most competitive games (at low-medium). Incredibly it also was ok at emulation. Now that i upgraded the difference is incredible tho
Most completive games work well on PS4, and this CPU is slightly better than CPU in PS4.
Test it with overclocking! I used it overclocked about 2 years ago and some games like the ones you posted were running much better thanks to the overclock.

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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
One thing those 8-core fx-83xx CPUs were surprisingly good was x264 encoding. I bought one for my 2 pc streaming setup back in the time because it had better price-performance ratio than Intel ones, especially with getting like fx-8320 and then overclocking it.
I can confirm, I don't usually encode, but I did decode 4K HEVC movies on the 8350 with a completely stable 60Mbps bitrate without frame drops, and I tried an i7 2600, that was never able to show the same stable HEVC mkv, it had constant framedrops.
that sniff test b roll of the dog was perfection mate.
I think a lot of people are in my situation where upgrading beyond this requires a mobo and ram and cpu all at once so squeezing everything out of AM3 is an attractive option

I guess what also makes it less worthy is it's power draw. With an older Ryzen cpu and some 2014-ish video card (like a GTX680) I can manage an overall 60-70W power draw. Yeah, I set the game settings to meet the power draw.

Try gaming on a Core 2 Duo, 6GB of RAM, and a Geforce 210. Going from that to an FX8320, 16GB of DDR3 RAM, and a Radeon HD 7950 3GB is quite an upgrade. 😂
A mild overclock of 4.6ghz - 4.8ghz removes the stutter surprisingly.
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.

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.

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).

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.
This was my first gaming cpu. It served me for 4 years. And another 3 years for a friend of mine which i gave the pc to. Crazy to see it still can game
lol the spider at 0:39
Those vulkan results speak for themselves by far the best API.
Yeah, shame that we don't get more games with it
I had 1 of these FXs way back in the day. Wasn't bad, ran it for years
I'm happy with my intel xeon e5 2689, its old but gold.
built my first computer back in 2016 for around $200 with this, an r7 260x, and salvaged prebuild case/psu combo lol. as a 16 year old who paid for his first pc himself the thing was a beast, when the first gen ryzen came out i called it a ryzen killer lol. tons of overclock potential.
I remember buying my first PC from a friend's friend back in late 2018. It had a 1060 and an AMD 6350. I paired it with a budget 1080p 144hz monitor, and at the time it ran games like Minecraft, R6 Siege and Fallout way better than it did on console. I waited until early 2020 to build my next PC. I built it with a 2080S and a Ryzen 9 3900X, as well as upgrading to a 1440p 144hz monitor, and that's when I discovered the true magic of playing on PC compared to console. I haven't been able to go back since then, and at this point I use a QD-OLED ultrawide monitor with a 4090 and 7800X3D. I've got a beast PC by now, but I won't forget those first experiences I had with my 1060/FX6350 system, even if these days I now know how bad the FX chips were even for their day.
One one of my last cpus many years ago was a 8350 on the grind up building where im at now from years ago, love to check in on my old companion and how it does.
Great videos lately bro
Amazing how it went from bottom of tbe gaming pile when Core 2 Duos were all the trend for gaming but then ended up hanging around for years as game engines started to use more cores.
Surprising how well it can do. I thought it will be terrible, but it's practically okay tbh
Fx 8 series was awesome deal for the price, it was way cheaper then second gen i7 competitor of that time+ boards from what i remember was cheaper, ive got actual new pc on that proccessor at 2013 i think for around 550$-600$. + it overclocked rly well, i did know guys who run it around 5ghz for years.
I remember that when the FX CPUs were released, I immediately got a Phenom II X6.
Please make video on palworld on minimum and recommended system requirements
Thanks for the video Kryzzpo!! I always said you're a one of a kind UA-camr. 👍
I always loved your energy also. Oh and yes the 2 year badge!!!!! 🔥 When you restart the shader compilation in warzone/CoD MW3 you need to restart the game i believe.
Thank you once again for all of the support 😃🤗
Glad you enjoy the videos! Gotcha, it took like 10-15 minutes to load the shaders to 6%, then I clicked restart, I'd need to spend like an hour waiting I guess hahaha
I still have my fx8350 paired with a 1060 6gb with 16gbs DDR3 ram and 1tb SSD. It actually "runs" pretty much everything I want In 1080p at 60ish fps. Lot of good games can run smoothly on this setup despite the age.
1:49 love that you included the shot of the pc configiration in the beginning, that's a nice change
I found this CPU open box at a Goodwill for $10 once. Best deal ever. It was listed for $20 but it was a half off Saturday. Performance to dollar ratio is insane.
🍪🍰 Sweet! 🍄🐧
Still using mine with 16gb ram,rx6750. Works fine coh2,aoe4. 2k resolution.
Forget about the review of the cpu, review the spider!
Hahaha
I am still live on this processor.
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.
Every time he tests a cpu or something non gpu its always pretty refreshing
Thanks for making me feel better about my skills as a Helldivers 2 player. I get that you're just doing a demo for your video, but you should still be using the dive key to help you dodge the hoard! Watching you play this game was frustrating.
why would he? hes testing with it not actually using it; his main cpu is definitely leagues better than this one.
@19:55 I think what you meant to say was, the game looks at the FX and says, NOPE! 😆🤣😂
Yeah, your video is way better. I had an iPhone 7 recording mine 11 years ago.
Finally found out how i could view what my pc's parts are and welp, here we are.
nic vid cryspo, loving th cpu vids.
can you do the early ryzen CPUs for the next one, like the 1200 or the 1400? thank you
30:40 Forza Horizon Five Guys? Man, that's gonna be a fast moving burger...
🤣🤣
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.
Very interesting.
Would have fared a bit better paired with a Radeon GPU due to the more efficient drivers.
I had a water cooled fx9590 from 2014 to 2021 originally with an r9 290x and later with a gtx1080.
im using a 1050ti with an amd fx 8320e and i dont know what is bottlenecking what, also another amazing video by zwormz
ua-cam.com/channels/M8hhDT62CwZZGe7iKUp8DA.htmlvideos
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.
