Hi Guys, I am a bit confused and I hope you can help me make sence of this.

So I have been browsing the web too see how well does the kaveri work with the high end cards (280X,290X,780, etc...) just out of curiosity. And I found two sites with totally different yet weird benchmarks. this first site http://www.techspot.com/review/856-amd-a10-7800-kaveri/page7.html makes it seem like the APU are totally bottlenecked also the 8350 FX chips, which smells funny to me since my brother has the FX chip and all runs nicely. Could it be that its because they do test beyond 1080p? Second site test the A10 7800 with a R9 290 http://www.eteknix.com/amd-a10-7800-kaveri-apu-review/6/ and it seems the APU has no problems with the card no bottleneck. Which if that is true that is amazing, now I don't want to start a CPU war or APU is lame stuff, this just ended up leaving me confused.

What is your poinion, Thank you.

it comes down to what they're benching and how they're doing it.

a stock a a10-7800 will bottleneck a bit, really getting an apu and a discrete gpu makes zero sense. But if you already have the apu, i can understand looking into gpu options. Since you can't overclock the a10-7800 you're gonna bottleneck high end gpus in cpu intensive games. quad core amd cpus just aren't that fast. the less cpu intensive the more load the gpu carries the less difference you'll see between different cpus.

an unlocked Kaveri apu overclocked up to 4.4-4.6ghz will probably not bottleneck any gpu significantly excepting in the most cpu heavy of games. a stock kaveri probably will be a bit of a bottleneck on any gpu over a r7-265...
