Title: AMD APU
Post by: skribetm on November 22, 2011, 10:41:56 PM

1920x1080P performance comparison on COD:MW3.
for the $450.00 you get a good gaming system on an AMD APU.

In aces high I think a core i3 may perform better, seeing how AH is cpu dependent. But the Intel GPU may be just under the acceptable barrier for aces high....

Anyone tried Aces high on a fusion platform?

 I havn't tried one, but looking at them if I rebuld my wife's and daughter's computer. Looks like to be a good CPU for HTPC and moderate gaming and the other software which my wife and daughter would use.

They seem to run better with faster RAM and not being  stingy on the amount of Ram in the system. I see some favorable reviews.

was gaming on an APU for a while. 1366x768 w/ a hi-res texture pack(no AA). hybrid xfire enabled w/ an HD6650m. 45~50fps. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,321918.msg4203033.html#msg4203033)
had to crank up the clocks from 1.4GHz -> 2.2GHz. but these desktop APU's run 2.6~2.9 w/c should be enough for playable framerates at 1080P default graphics settings.

I'm talking about a real life test with a stock machine lol....how the hell did you put 2 mobile GPU's in a PC, one of them is virtual?  :headscratch:
