I was wondering if the AMD Radeon HD 7560D is worth it. Im kinda new to GPU's so idk how to tell how good it is. I thought most GPU's had the speed like 512Mb or etc. But when i googled this, it was way different. Doesn't even show similar pics to most GPU's. No hate please, I'm a noob.
So, what would it probably cost, and could it run games on maxed settings? (Like WoW, DayZ, Smite, Dishonored, Bioshock?) Just common games.
Another question, which is better. The AMD Radeon HD 7560D or GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB. (Which is $170) Thanks!

The 7560D is integrated onto the AMD A8-5600k processor, meaning that if you buy that processor, you'll already have the graphics card (GPU) on it. However, if you're going to be building a computer with integrated graphics, you'll need slightly faster RAM such as 1866 MHz or faster. I would also recommend purchasing 4-8 Gigabytes of RAM. The reason is that with integrated graphics, the CPU and GPU share the same RAM, so faster RAM actually will make a difference in games.

The AMD A8-5600k is currently $109.99 on Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113281

As for performance, take a look at these benchmarks from different games:

Batman: Arkham City: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/a10-5800k-a8-5600k-trinity-apu,3241-9.html

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/a10-5800k-a8-5600k-trinity-apu,3241-10.html

Skyrim: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/a10-5800k-a8-5600k-trinity-apu,3241-11.html

Diablo III: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/a10-5800k-a8-5600k-trinity-apu,3241-12.html

You'll need to Google some more 7560D benchmarks for the other games you mentioned.

For your last question, the GTX 650Ti is so much better than the 7560D. This page starts some benchmarks of the 650Ti Boost for some of the games you mentioned: http://www.techspot.com/review/661-nvidia-geforce-gtx-650-ti-boost-sli/page2.html

If you have the money, I'd highly recommend purchasing the 650Ti Boost over the 7560D. If not, then buy the 7560D now, and maybe a few months later, buy a graphics card out of nVidia's new 700 series graphics cards, such as the 750Ti or 760 (which are not released yet, but will be before the end of this year).

Good luck!

can you run the 7560D with a gtx 660 ti? like would one of them shut down the other, or would the gtx 660 ti not be able to run in the same computer as the 7560D?

I would think that they would be incompatible. It would make more sense just to use the 660ti on its own. It can go in the same computer as the 7560D, but basically the 7560D won't run anything. The processor side of the APU will still work, however.
