Howdy all,
Okay so I'm pretty dissapointed with my 7850 so I have decided to fork out cash to purchase an XFX 7870 DD edition.
My girlfriend has a gaming PC too and was wondering if she could have my old 7850.
We're both quite new to PC gaming (since December 2013), and neither of us built our systerms, we bought them pre-built (please dont judge!).
This is her spec:
AMD A8 6600K QUAD CORE 3.9 GHz (with 4.2 Ghz/ Turbo Mode)
8gb Ram DDR3 1600MHZ
AMD HD 8570D GRAPHICS
500W PSU
MSI FM2-A55M-E33 uATX Motherboard
So what I understand is that an APU is a CPU + a GPU in one. This particular APU is okay, we played Dota 2 together for the most part it's fine but she says at times it does lag.
Is it possible to install a 7850 gpu in this system? Will it work alongside this APU or will there be complications? If it wont work, please explain why.
Thanks
Koushick
