I have the Asus HD6570 1GB DDR3. AMD reccomends to pair this gfx card with the A8 rather than the A10. In your opinion which of the two is the best match for the 6570? if I go for the A10 will the dual graphics perform better than with the A8? Or is it optimized for the A8?
thanks

Yes. Remember, the GPU has to match the on-die GPU or they won't dual graphic.

Unless you just want to experiment with dual graphics, I would recommend spending your money on a discrete graphic card if you want to improve the FPS of the on-die alone.

I don't notice the micro stuttering you guys are talking about with my A8-5600k with 6670 combo, but I did hook up my HDMI to the 6670 rather than the motherboard. AMD says to hook up the display to the faster card, whether that's the IGP or dedicated card.

On my retail box, it says both the A8 and A10 can go in dual graphics mode with the 6570 and 6670. The A6 can DG with the 6450(?) and 6570. Obviously, the APUs will have their optimized DG cards.
