Hello. Sorry if I'll be having some questions that are probably obvious for some people here. But, should I consider buying a graphics card higher than 6670 for my a10-5800k? My current build can run current gen games by high settings but I would want to play next gen games in high settings without any hassle. I am saving my extra allowance if ever I'll need money and I am wondering if I'll ever need to replace my graphics card with a higher one to play next gen games. But I'm also worried that I'll end up regretting buying a higher graphics card because it'll disable my dual graphics system. (a10-5800k's dual graphics is only available for 6670 cards)

Thank you so much for people who will bother to answer this. :)

what games are you planning to play? the 6670 will do good for casual games however a 650ti with boost or a 7850 will do much better i reckon opening the doors to games like battlefield nfs tombraider maybe crisis on low to medium etc.

7750s work partially with the Dual Graphics setup, nothing else except some of the 6000 series, the 6670 being the best option

7750s are too powerful for the dual graphics and it causes stuttering in games
 


Well practically any card above a 7750 is gonna beat your dual graphics setup.
Dual graphics on an AMD apu, truth be know are rubbish in comparison with even midrange discrete cards.

Have a look at the link below:

An AMD 7850 2gb, or a GTX650ti Boost are the min I'd recommend. They are both cards that wll get med-high on 1080p

I'd like to play GTA V if ever it comes to PC and Watch Dogs which is in line for the next gen consoles and the PC. I also would like to play both in high settings. In my current build, I am playing Borderlands 2 and Skyrim on High settings without any lag.

seriously????????? with just the intergrated apu??????????? that can't be right and for nxt gen games you will definetly need atleast the 7850 which is around the level of performance of the ps4 that being said consoles do more with less so the ps4 will be looking better than ever about 6yrs down the line and you will be unuseable almost

for next gen games on high you will need to get something like a 7950-gtx770 is my guess however your cpu would bottleneck those cards
