Is FX 8350 good for 1080p

I plan to buy a 1080p monitor to upgrade from my 1440 x 900 monitor, hopefully I can can find a cheap decent (usually an oxymoron) 24'' monitor in the store if not, online it is

I have the 8350 in my (now former) rig and I can tell you that 1080p will be fine with that processor. Mate it with a decent card and you'll be good fam.

Your cpu won't make a difference in resolution in the case you mention here, its all on the gpu side. If your getting 60 fps in a game at 720p, you'll get the same at 1080p as long as your gpu is strong enough.

If your gpu already has headroom, you can easily bump it up to 1080p.

Don't bother buying a monitor over 60hz unless you will be upgrading your cpu soon, because that amd cpu will somtimes have trouble hitting 60fps in some cpu heavy games.

It's still a decent CPU and with games hopefully going multi core you'll benefit even more.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it because I had one for a long time. I would get frustrated by how single-core performance was a huge bottleneck since it is far behind Intel chips in that area. And, many games are optimized using only one or two cores of a CPU. It became a huge problem for me whenever I fired up a CPU-intensive game such as Victoria 2.

What kind of gpu u have?

@vaidream45: RX 480

As an ex-FX8350 user who had a GTX 970 (same ballpark performance as a RX 480) who upgraded to a 6700K/GTX 1070 I think I can chime in here.

An FX8350 is generally good enough to hit 60fps in modern games (for example, The Witcher 3) provided they aren't poorly optimised or quite CPU dependent (Dreamfall: Chapters). Which is to say that, for the most part, it should be fine for your budget-minded set-up.

If you aim to play above 60fps in the future (when you upgrade your graphics card) however, you'll find yourself hobbled fairly frequently by game that make moderate use of CPU (to say nothing of those that make heavy use of it).

So I'd say it's fine for now, and fine for your current set-up, but your options in the future will be quite limited.

Yes. It's good enough to run Crysis 3 maxed out (given you have descent GPU). So, I would hold onto it till maybe Zen 2 comes out.

Mostly good enough to hit 60fps if the game supports multiple threads well, but then there's cases like dark souls 3 where 4.5ghz fx 9590 can't hold 60fps, while 2.5ghz 6700k can, but these cases are pretty rare

FX barely gets the job done, I have a six core FX6300 @4.3 and I have frame drops in almost every game, it can be frustrating, so... Plan to upgrade would be my advice.

Great work horse for 1080p. Only downside is that it's really really outdated. I'd go with low end ryzen or Intel core i5 instead.
