I should address this first. My cousin is looking to upgrade his setup, but he wants to keep $300–$500 for future needs. We’re considering switching from the Amd FX 6300 to an FX 9590 GPU, increasing RAM from 1050 Ti to 1660S, adding another stick for 16GB. Will this cause a performance issue? His current CPU temps average around 55°C, though usage isn’t clear yet. I’ll post an updated thread with more details soon.
Could the present mobile device support the FX9590? Be aware that many models from that era weren’t designed for a 220W processor, and some even experienced overheating issues.
The FX9590 demands a lot of power, so it's generally not recommended unless the motherboard supports it. Mostly, unless you're using a 990FX board, it won't work with this chipset. Some older 780 and 970 models could overheat if you try to run a 9590 on them. The FX processors aren't very strong; an 8-core option like the 8320 would be worth around $60 at most.
I own a card that fits the FX 9590, though it only offers about a 3% boost over the FX 8350 (rough estimate). Heed the guidance given. Could it become a bottleneck? The GTX 1660 Super runs faster than an R9 Fury—my FX 8350 struggled with it in most cases. The Fury was still effective, though not exceptional. Side note—I recently acquired a Fury X and plan to swap it back with the FX 8350 this weekend. So far, it seems like a good match. EDIT - I tend to buy low, and I’d never spend money on an FX 9590 given its current performance versus more affordable options.
Consider investing in an R5 3600, a 3300X, or even a 3600mhz CL16 RAM if possible. A 3200mhz Cl16 works too if it's more affordable. B550 boards are on the horizon. Simply switching to an older RX 470-580 or a 590 8GB card around $100 could boost performance by 50-60%.
I explored additional benchmarks recently to verify, and in benchmarking tools it appears about 20% quicker performance, though when checking FPS trends and average rates it isn't a substantial improvement.
Yes, it wasn't a strong show either way. Likely just a 8320 or so.
