Audio popping issue

Yeah. It's a chipset that can *still* be found on $1k computers on Amazon and elsewhere. I bought my computer brand new 4 years ago and it's got FX-8350s in it, simply because they're solid chips. With my 1070 Ti, I can run every game I've played in at least High settings, if not Ultra or equivalent. So, blaming sound issues on "old hardware" is kind of a subversive take on SE's part. Perhaps more appropriate would have been to say "hardware we hadn't tested on" or something.

Indeed. FX-8350 is still pretty fine for a lower/mid-budget PC.

Since they've implied that we're trying to run the game on a toaster, I did a requirement check on system requirements lab, and found that FX-8350 is actually above not only "minimum requirements", but the "recommend requirements" as well. I recommend everyone does it as well, so we have proof it's not a "we're trying to run the game on a toaster" issue.

I myself am using a FX 8320 which from what I see is only "slightly" lower then the FX 8350 (About 6%) so if that 8350 is above recommend requirements, mine should absolutely be okay then.

If you're curious, run the Endwalker benchmark. Most of us with 8350s were punching WAY above average. When I ran mine after the benchmark first came out, it scored just over 13500. (Like, 13507 or something.) Which put it just shy of the very highest tier (15,000).
