    Looking to upgrade my processor now since the 2 extra cores I unlocked on my 960T are no longer stable so I'm back down to a quad-core, which is grand with my gaming need but my video encording is now distinctively slower.

    So now I'm looking to finally looking to get myself another multi-threaded cpu and have 2 options for my price bracket, a 6300 or a 8320.
    They both have there good and bad points for me, like the 6300 being cheaper and meets my scabby needs =P, or the 8300 which will meet my productive needs etc.

    If I know for sure if the FX-8300 performs satanically better than the FX-6300 on Vegas 10 that justifys the extra cost I would defiantly go for it, but unfortunately I couldn't find any benchmarks for that so I'm just going to leave it as poll for you guys and any helpful info would be great.

    If you're going to upgrade and you have the funds and power for it you might as well go for the 8320.

    aye i do have the funds but i'm such a cheapskate =P hence why i wanna know how the 8320 is in Vega see if it is worth the extra yoyo's

    Well vegas uses up to 16 threads so there's no doubt it will be faster.

    Not quite what you are looking for but this guy on overclock.net ran some benches of an FX 8350 vs FX8120 on Vegas 11, showing 100% usage for hours on end, which suggests (Vegas 11 at least) will use as many threads as you can throw at it (And that it loves overclocked CPUs).
