Best Discrete Graphics Card for AMD A10-5800k with Dual Graphics enabled

Valtierre · Jul 9, 2016

I'm no good at computer upgrading so I hope you can make it easier for me to understand.

I'm looking forward to having R7 370 at first but when I have done a little research, R7 370 4GB is the cap.
I'm also hoping that I could use the Dual Graphics options of my motherboard so I can fully utilize my HD 7660D with the discrete gpu.

Is it okay with you guys?

Here are my specs:
PSU: Deep Cool DE-500
Mobo: Gigabyte F2A55M-DS2
RAM: 8gb (2x4gb) I forgot the name
CPU: AMD A-10 5800k with AMD Radeon HD 7660D

The R7 250(maybe 250x) is the best video card you can run dual graphics in, but honestly, the R7 370 would easily outperform dual graphics. Avoid that route.

Wouldn't it add to the power?

CTurbo · Jul 9, 2016

Huh? They will both add to the power.

CTurbo :

What I don't understand is that why are you preventing making the R7 370 to be in dual graphics with HD 7660D if it adds more juice to it and far superior to R7 250x.

The R7 370 cannot run in dual graphics with the A10 5800k. It is not supported.

CTurbo :

I see. Upon researching further I found out why the AMD A10-5800k recommends to be paired with R7 250.
So this is R7 370 will be the final verdict of my build since going higher would just bottleneck everything?

CTurbo · Jul 10, 2016

Yeah something like the R7 370 or GTX950 would be good.

CTurbo :

Upon consulting the shop, the R7 370 4g seems to be phased out so my other option would be the GTX 950. It is only 2g right?

CTurbo · Jul 21, 2016

yes but the 950 would be a tremendous upgrade for you.

Valtierre · Jul 21, 2016

CTurbo :

Can you elaborate why?

CTurbo · Jul 21, 2016

If you are currently using an A10's integrated graphics, the GTX950 would be a HUGE upgrade for you.

CTurbo :

I'm quite worried on how it does on the 2g since it doesn't have 4g variant though there are quite handful of reviews that the GTX 950 would outperform the R7 370 4g basically everything. There are also lots of GTX 950 models (ex. Strix Gaming) and each of the model perform slightly different, so picking whats best for it would be a hard and it depends on the availability of the said model.

I always assume that Nvidia encourages overclocking as a norm.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the 2GB. Even the 960 struggles to make use of it's 4GB.
