A10 with a 7850

[adrianc1]

Hello i have seen this post http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/349112-10-5800k-crossfire-7850 and i see that i cant crossfire the 7850 with an apu so what good cpu can i get that will crossfire the 7850? or if that post was wrong there will i be able to crossfire it ? or just buy the a10 and add the 7850 and dont crossfire?

 

[drunkducki]

you can only crossfire A10 with 6670. get a FX or i3 for the same price and they work better with 7850.

The on-board APU would crossfire with the 6670, or something around the same speed. The 7850 is a nice card, but would run seperately, and mayb bottleneck the processor. The FX series are cheap and decent, or if you want to spend a bit more the I5 series are excellent as well.

Like the post said, you will not be able to crossfire that high-end card with an APU. If you buy the APU and the 7850, you'll most likely have to disable the onboard graphics and make the 7850 the primary GPU. However, I think this would be a waste. Like drunkducki said, an FX or i3 would support the 7850 much better.

One thing I think you should consider is future upgrades. If you get an A10, it will use the FM2 socket which doesn't support any FX series CPUs which has the AM3+ socket. You'll be limited right from the start.

Thanks people so could someone give ma a £250 Build for the fx thanks becauise the one i made for a10 is this and i want it the same price

and also if i got a 6670 and crossfired it will it still work the same as the 7850?

 

[hents1230]

Like they said - get i3 and 7850

 

[adrianc1]

so can someone make me a build ? using pc part picker and will this then play fc2 on medium atleast and i want a motherboard in which i can add i5 or i7 when i want a faster pc

NO, it would be about 1/3 to 1/4 as fast.

Once you get above 6670, crossfire with the CPU would only slow down the more powerful graphics processor. It kind of ends up like having a rowboat where there is a strong athlete on one side and a 5 year old on the other. The 5 year old isn't helping at all at that point.

The 7850 is very fast on its own. While the A10 is a decent chip, if you are exceeding the abilities of the onboard graphics with a powerful graphics card, it doesn't make a lot of sense. At that point you should move to the FX line and go FX-4300 or FX-6300 (I like the 6300). The 6300 is going to be powerful enough that you wouldn't really need to jump to an i5 later, especially with a little bit of overclock.

Are those the only parts you need for that 250 budget?

[adrianc1]

Yes that's all i need i this build because i have an atx/micro atx case and optical drive so a 250 budget without gpu

and also what would be better phenom, fx, or i3 because now i dont know what to choose ;/

 

[twelve25]

I would pick the fx-6300, but arguments can be made for an i3 if you plan to upgrade to i5 later.

Do you already have the 7850?

 

[adrianc1]

twelve so the fx-6300 is slower than i5 or they are just about the same speed and make no difference?

 

[adrianc1]

so if i was gonna choose Phenom why ? and is that a good build looks good and cheap

[adrianc1]

SO lads i see that the processor has alot of ghz and its 4core without overclock so thats great isint it?

I3 is fine and so is an FX chip. A 4170 cpu and 7850 gpu would do rather well together.

[adrianc1]

But im abit concerned about that mobo because if i want to update to 16gb in the future or something i cant can someone give me a good one for this cpu with the same price

in most cases you will not go past 4 gigs...8 is overkill as it is but it is so cheap 8 gigs get picked....16 gig will tend to be a waste of money.

 

[adrianc1]

oh ok thanks

 

[adrianc1]

oh ok thanks so the psu will reach the mobo connectors? and also can anyone give me cheap 3.0 mobo simillar price to that one thank you and a board that supports crossfire thx
