Anybody else have a 9590, if so what is your experience like? (Overclocked 8300 series or 9370s also count)
If you take an 8350, add some hopes and dreams, a little binning, and a special motherboard, you get a 9590. So, they're basically an ungainly 8350. They're hot, unneeded, and should be forgotten about because Zen is around the corner.
Reminds me of a guy that claimed to get his to a motherboard melting 5.5GHz. He also claimed that $5000 Xeons were better for gaming than the i5-6600K. And he seemed like the kind of guy who'd snap your neck if you told him that he was wrong, no matter how many benchmarks agree with you.
Cool, a place where everyone who made a bad decision can come and congregate! I jest, but the previous posts are correct lol. I've also met some people who think all that matters is # of cores and CPU speed.
Well 2002 is as far back as me. Therefore I'm pretty much the last year of humans without a slice of IPC in his brain.
System upgrading when it comes to BEAM: more video card = run a better quality texture with finer details on the map for a more immersive experience more CPU ghz = more fps in Beam especially with larger things like the T-series. more CPU cores = more cars in play at one time more system (RAM) memory = run larger maps with more AI vehicles in play faster memory = cpu can do physics calculations and access map data up to a whopping 14% faster (Comparing 1333mhz to 2400mhz, two sticks, dual channel DDR3 config - yes memory speed matters after-all) A quad-core or better cpu with 3.5ghz speed, with a decent 2gb or 4gb DDR5-equipped (or better) video card of recent make (last two years), with 12~16gb of system memory should let you pretty much do ANYTHING in this game you'd want to do. You don't need a monster gaming rig for this simulation to run well, especially if you flick off a few gfx options or knock them down a peg or two. You do need to pick and choose your parts carefully, though. AMD cpu's are not recommended for the optimal BeamNG experience, due to weak IPC and quite-weak FPU's. Intel's FPU's are twice as powerful so each core running physics is about 2x the performance, or in worst-case 50% better.
This thread isn't about the FX-series's performance in BeamNG, this is about what people think of it in general.
Iirc BeamNg uses a thread/core for each vehicle. I used a 860K at 4.6Ghz. not the same but if I said is true it gets similar single thread performance. With a vehicle like the T series I got around 20FPS FPS and with other cars about 30FPS at best. Overall it was crap.
