GPU match for CPU

CrossMKD · Apr 7, 2013

I want to buy a new pc , and i included this CPU( APU A10-5700 ).
*I read some information on gamedebate.com for this one and it says:

''The performance of AMD A10-5700 falls behind most Intel Sandy/Ivy bridge CPUs but it's still enough to run even the most demanding games at the highest settings, if paired with the appropriate GPU. ''

So my question is : WHAT'S THE BEST GPU MATCH FOR THIS CPU ?

that depends on the games you are planning to play, the resolution,if you are willing to decrease a few setting such as AA and ofc your budget

it'll say on the side of the box or at AMD's website what card you can couple with that processor for xfire.

jeppishh · Apr 7, 2013

i was assuming when he ment paired that he meant just use the gpu normally not xfire the onboard gpu with a discrete one.

Well , for graphic card i would give 200euros so i will ask a GPU worth under 200EUROS.
And im playing on 1280x1024 resolution (19' / 5:4 )

are you sure you want to play at that resolution it is very low.but for 1280x1024 you dont need a graphics card your APU will handle all games just fine.

swifty_morgan · Apr 7, 2013

that's what I'm thinking. make sure you get DDR3 1866 ram. at least 2 - 2gig sticks ( 4gigs ) but more might be better? 2-4gig sticks ( 8gigs )

and if the APU doesn't give what you want, then you can get that extra card.

if you are going for 1866mhz modules i saw some nice prices on kingston hyperx beast modules at amazon. although you have to look at pricing for your location.

ok but still .. i want to get some graphic card , lets say it doesnt have to be sooo expensive , maybe like HD 7770 1gb , gtx 650 2gb ddr5 , or hd 5850 1gb ddr5 ?

jeppishh · Apr 8, 2013

if you are not planning to play above that resolution your APU will handle ALL games fine.it can even handle most games at 1920x1080 at low/medium settings.

swifty_morgan · Apr 8, 2013

and if you want a card, get one to compliment the xfire with the apu.

swifty_morgan :

i disagree there are issues with frames often not being shown at all or shown as "runt frames" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noVu8BXkCsw about half an hour there is an interview and that guy will explain it

jeppishh :

but you and OP are missing the point. at 1200 resolution the graphics on the APU alone are more than enough.

that is what i said earlier in the thread but the OP insisted he wanted a graphics card.

* I wont play on higher resolution then 1280x1024.
*Why its not enough to get 8GB RAM with 1600mhz ?

CrossMKD :

For this resolution your apu onboard in enough no need for card, bt than also if u want 2 buy, go for amd 7750 or nvidia gtx 650. And u can play at max setting at 1280 x1024 with this cards for a couple of years.

swifty_morgan · Apr 8, 2013

CrossMKD :

because APU's like memory bandwidth. the faster the better. native it's 1866. why would you retard it right off the bat?

CrossMKD · Apr 9, 2013

Allright let there be on 1866 , but i was asking what other graphic will be fit with this CPU(even if it has got itself) ?

jeppishh · Apr 9, 2013

your CPU doesnt care what graphics card you put in there .unless you are spending for a high end card then there are the chances of the game instead being CPU limited
