Firstly, apologies if this seems similar to my other query today on prospective builds, but I was wondering what kind of performance people are getting with the fx6300 – standard fps on best appearance / best performance, in world play, spvp, instances and wvw?
Can an overclocked 6300 give you enough power to run the game comfortably above 30 fps, or does it stutter too much to enjoy the game?
im having an steady fps arround 60-70 in pve/instances as for wvw i arround 30-35 with this cpu running at standard 3.5 Ghz and graphic settings are set on medium/high on windowd full screen 1980*1080
when on best performance i have arround 80-90 in pve/ instances and arround 50 in wvw
also u can try to oc it for a few fps more but it u wont see much difference in my experience had it running before on 4.3 ghz stock cooler and there wasnt much performance increase

Hi Willisium – Performance will differ a little depending on each person’s individual set up. Overclocking your processor has been known to give players a nice boost in performance, but Guild Wars 2 is also a little sensitive to overclocking and so this could lead to more annoying issues in the long run especially if not done correctly (not saying this would be the case for you, though it does happen).
cant tell you that about an i5 since i mostly run with amd anyways fx 6300 aint a bad cpu i think it has more to do with the single thread gaming mechanics that amd doesnt handle very well
although personally i think the fx6300 is one of the strongest cpu`s of amd that handle single thread gaming very well
cant tell u much about pentium obviously
maybe you can try upgrade your gfx card to get an higher fps since fps is more related to an gfx card then a cpu
myself are using an hd7790 1gb oc edition for me its ok anyways i wish u getting it better that suits ur play style

Hey, if I were gonna get it I’d run with a 7870; problem is everyone says the fx 6300 doesn’t have the single core performance to handle gw2 in big events. I’m probably getting an I5 instead, which is a dissapointment cos the 6300 is such a good price.

Just a warning about performance on Intel vs AMD processors. Even though the i5 does have better single thread performance, its not worth ‘upgrading’ from a 6300 to Intel. If nothing has been bought yet or you’re upgrading from an older generation processor, then sure; grab the i5 and run with it.
Like i said im using an stock running fx6300 and since amd is not great in single thread performance wouldnt mean they cant handle the game
as i play wvw alot on med/high setting and character details in wvw set to low and numbers to lowest i can easely take on 60v60v60

Sorry if I scared you in your other thread. It’s not that the FX-6300 is bad, it’s just that a true Intel quad core is better but if you can’t afford it’s no big thing. It’s as good or better than a Phenom II X4 965 or Phenom II X6 1100T.
On one hand of course the i5-3470 should perform better, it costs 65% more than an FX-6300 . AMD and Intel do try to price their CPUs on relative performance.
By posing the question in your other thread you knew, at least subconsciously what the answer would be. Deep down you want to be talked into the i5 but if your budget for a new system was already at it’s max and we are talking food on the table or rent paid on time or prescriptions refilled then it’s not worth it, we’re talking about a computer to play games on. It’s a luxury item.
To be honest, it was the other way around. I was hoping someone could talk me into the FX 6300 and save me some money! Both systems are within my budget, but I was hoping to save a little cash if I could get similar performance.
But I put in the order this morning for the I5 3470 with a 7870.
