A10-7850K's performance amazed me.
My friend asked me to build a PC for him.
Say, we've buy one R7 260X, you think we should pair it up with a FX 8320 or A10-7850K? I know Mantle from AMD is finally out for Battlefield 4 and it actually solved the bottleneck problem, will dual graphics outperform CPU+discrete?
 
Solution
It will not. The discrete graphics card will (in most cases) disable, or replace the graphics processor in the CPU. No need for it to do any work in that case.

A discrete graphics card will out perform integrated graphics. So if you choose to use one skip the APU.

Best of luck
