Crossfire or Not AMD A8 6600K or Buy faster RAM
Hi, i recently bought APU AMD a8 6600k
And i am thinking, should i buy faster ram 1866Mhz (Because as i seen the APUs integrated graphic card depends on good Ram speed)
Or should i buy like HD 7750 as read that can be crossfiered with this APU
-And also i am wondering will it be better performance with it crossfiered or not. Thanks in front,
Cheers.

*I have now DDR3 4GB Ram on 1333Mhz and i have really bad performance on some games like GTA 4.
*One more thing, is there diffrence if i want to crossfire for example with HD 7750 and its GDDR5?

To answer your first question yes that's good enough and second it's sort of a wash. I like Kingston and G Skill.

One more infront question, if buying ram which will be probabbly my decision, which one is the best (Kingston, Corsair G. Skill etc) What is your recommendation? I dont know but i think Kingston is good?

Upgrading speeds of RAM will TREMENDOUSLY help the GPU speeds on the APU. Get the RAM, crossfire might help but isn't as good of an investment as RAM.


Hi, thanks for answers!
I can go up to 1866Mhz as my MotherBoard MAX, is that enough good for 4x2GB ram for this APU - GPU?
I think that would be then good enough for Battlefield 4, as i seen on Youtube reviews for this APU.
-Thanks

I wouldnt crossfire...I dont think you'll get that much more performance out of it. Going to 8GB of Ram will definitely help though.
