Oh hello everybody.
Here's the thing, I got a new pc, and it's carring one of those AMD's APU's, the 7850-K. And I was looking at things, and looks like the graphics card on it is actually usable for gaming? I do have plans to get a graphics card, when I have the money. But I was wondering if it's actually usefull, I saw some demos on Youtube, but you never actually know if they are using the parts that they say.
I'm aware that high frecuency RAM is a pretty important thing here, but I just want to get the doubt out of my mind, haha.
Yes, these are actually usable for gaming. So long as you keep the graphics settings in check, almost nothing should be impossible to run decently on your computer - and a lot of titles should actually get you to about current-gen console quality.
Just remember that with an APU, memory speed and capacity are important, speed moreso. Do you know what speed of DDR3 memory you're using, and how many modules are in there, and their capacity?
If for some reason you're not satisfied with the video card performance, you can also just throw in a new video card. There should be more than enough CPU in there for any gaming use.
By the way: why not an A10-7870K? It's a revised version that should be slightly faster.
