Kade Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 APU's are great, not saying they aren't. I got the impression OP would buy a GPU from the start though, so unless that isn't the case I wouldn't waste the money on nice integrated graphics that won't even be used. Just me though. Some people have their fingers crossed that AMD will add support for more "dual graphics" cards. You crossfire the GPU with the APU. Thus one less GPU you have to buy. Smaller case, smaller footprint, less wattage consumed, etc. That's the reason I got my APU. Eventually the integrated graphics will be used. 2009 Dodge Caliber SXT (Silver) Deck: Pioneer X3600BHS Amps: RF P1000X5 Front: RF P16-S Rear: RF P1694 Subs: 1 RF P3D2-10 Cabling: Stinger 6 channel RCA, RF 4gauge kit, SkyHighCarAudio 16gauge speaker wire.

Which is cool, especially for those who buy and APU and upgrade later. I still don't know that it is a better option than a 970 from the start though. Not with today's hardware at least. That said though, yeah the APU should still keep up fine with other CPU's. Not a bad choice by any measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainStryke Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Graphics cards do fail, my iGPU has saved me from being without a computer more than a few times while waiting for my card to go through RMA. RMA's usually take 3-4 weeks and I really don't want to go that long without my desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMA's usually take 3-4 weeks and I really don't want to go that long without my desktop. I've never had a issue with anything failing on me, but if something does I'll take care of it. I have my laptop to do whatever I need. This is just for some part time gaming every now and then. With that being said I'm going to go with the FX-9590 Also upgrade from the 1866 Memory My last question is, can that card run what I want it too? Can I go with something cheaper? Ect.

You would probably be fine with a GTX 960 going from what you had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evermaxx Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I don't play on high/ultra as it is so I think I'll be good. Heading to micro center as I type this.
