I'm really not sure if this is super funny, or quite depressing, at this point. Nice find though. In: COH2 Gameplay |

overclocking the fx 6300 will cost you more electricity, but that is negligible. problems should not occur. Overclocking "costs" you in terms of mainboard and cooling - people seem to forget about that quite often. While the FX is a decent CPU overall, it's outdated and severely lacks single-threaded performance - which he needs for a lot of games on the market right now, including COH2. While at the same time there's no upgrade path with the AM3 socket, nor decent performance to begin with. "Costs more" is a matter of calculation. Buy cheap, buy twice. Personally i really can't recommend AMD CPUs for any gaming system right now. Zen might change that again, and GPUs are certainly a good alternative. Anyways, half the topic is our argueing anyways. Truth is somewhere in the middle, i guess we can agree on that. |

If you overclock it sufficiently it will run most games just fine and wont limit a r9 380x. additionally buying a 2 core cpu is a waste aswell. Overclocking comes with further costs and problems attached. The 6300 isn't a real hexacore either btw. This whole "moar cores, moar ghz" is nice for marketing, but doesn't matter if the actual raw performance is completely sub par. If he would have the money to heavily upgrade sooner or later, then buying the FX 6300 is even the worst decision he can make. The i3 will get the job done for now, while keeping an upgrade path open - that's the point. |

i wouldnt get an i3 or pentium at all. as soon as you have something running in the background, you are missing a lot of your cpu power. additionally, with directx 12 and vulcan cpus will scale much better with corenumber. Me neither, but if you're on a budget it's the better choice. Certainly better than buying a 4 year old CPU which was insufficient back then, and still is. With a 1150/1 i3 he will at least have an upgrade path, and decent performance right now. DX12 won't change that. My point being: FX6300 is a waste of money nowadays, either way. |

@oakdk: lower / deactivate CPU taxing features. Cyanara wrote a fancy guide about COH2 performance: https://www.coh2.org/guides/50098/coh2-system-performance-guide |

I wont buy FX6300 and 8gb RAM. This CPU is good for CoH? Nope. You need high single-thread performance, which AMD basically doesn't offer at all at the moment. Intels i5 is still the way to go, if you're on a budget, and depending on your other components, then i3 or Pentium G might be an alternative. |
