HD8470D VS Intel HD 3000/4000. for gaming?

[user548412264]

Hi, i'm thinking to buy AMD A6 6400K 3.9GHZ + HD8470D APU CPU. I'm confused about something about intel hd graphics 3000 or 4000. are they better than HD8470D or this apu will show more performance against them. i did look benchmarks hd4000, hd3000 but i cant compare with HD8470D. What do you think about their performances? Sorry about language i'm from Norway. Thanks for replies. I'm thinking about 2009-2010 games and classics. like GRID, cod4, maybe skyrim on medium setting. is it possible?

Out of all the 3 options. The HD4000 is the best, HOWEVER, none of them will get you the performance you desire. If you get one of the newer Intel CPUs, 4th gen "Haswell" they actually use HD 4400 or HD 4600, both of which are a step up from HD 4000. But still they aren't really meant to play games. The newer Intel integrated graphics might allow you to play these games, but even still you won't be playing them very well, trust me. They are a little too graphic heavy for integrated GPUs. :/

Thanks for your answer. I saw videos about HD8470D on youtube like this Link(older apu) and saw game benchmark results about FPS in this site Link (bottom of the page) and i think they are not soo bad ha? What do you think? Its enough for me that games open in medium or low settings. And i decide to buy AMD A6 6400K 3.9GHZ + HD8470D with my budget. I will buy 4GB ram too. Do you think its gonna be okay for me on these games or 2008-2009 games in medium settings?

As long as you're willing to play games at low-medium settings, and not always with very good frame rates, then it will be fine for you. Just don't expect too much from it. You'd be better off purchasing a dedicated GPU.
