A4-3400 Dota2 FPS RESOLUTION

[tristanity03]

Will this PC BUILD can play Dota2 with a good resolution?
A4-3400
4GB RAM
Some EMAXX MOBO

Can you tell what resolution can it play and how many fps?
Thanks.

I dont think so you can play with that cpu, that cpu is horrible
get a FX 4300 instead its a better deal for somewhat same price, though you will need to change your mobo too, one with a AM3+ socket type

How about AMD A4-7300? It is sure to handle Dota2 but how many fps and what resolution?

You're saving just 10$ and buying something which is not worth buying A4-7300 is surely an upgrade from that but still it will struggle

1024X768 average Medium to high Settings 25-50fps

That game isn't all that demanding although a A6 or better would be preferred a A4 will due.

You buy APU's to save cost on a CPU+ GPU combo so your saving much more than $10. I've built around A8's and A10 quite a few times and they have made people quite happy with the performance and cost savings. Not everyone cares about 1080P and Max settings many people just to play and enjoy the game and APU's are perfect for that.

Yeah that's what i was talking about but i have owned one of them , trust me their single core perfomance is so weak that you'll feel like you shredded your money after buying one of these

@delmaro if I buy the a4-3400 if I play dota2 with medium settings and medium render quality how much fps will I get and Can I switch programs like alt+tab without problems?

Will you notice Hiccups when Tabbing out? Yes Use Overwolf that allows you a Browser, Music player and other apps without Tabbing out.

Overall chips on FM1 are not entirely good for gaming, they will game just at reduced Resolutions and much lower settings. If APU's are of interest to you then FM2 or FM2+ should be the socket and a A6-5400K or better with 1866mhz Ram should be considered.

A4-3400 FM1 $35
A6 5400K FM2 $32 Overclockable better performance
A6 6400K FM2 $44 A setup up over a 5400K
A8 7600 FM2+ $75 Overall a good APU will do Minecraft,LOL, DOTA2 @ 1080p near max settings
Athlon X4 750K $77 + GPU $60+ Better performance than above will cost you much more too.

4GB 1866mhz Ram $37
4GB 2133mhz Ram $44

Motherboards of decent quality
FM1 board $35
FM2 board $40
FM2+ board $68 Asus or Gigabyte A88X

Thanks a lot man, probably get A4-6300k I think with Some gigabyte FM2 mobo.

A4-6300 $40 VS A6 5400K $32 and A6 6400K FM2 $44

A6-6400K HD 8470D 4.1 GHz/3.9 GHz
A6-5400K HD 7540D 3.8 Ghz/3.6 GHz
A4-6300 HD 8370D 3.9GHz/3.7GHz

Both the A6's are overclockable up to 5GHZ
Both A6's have a better integrated GPU

Why would you pick the A4?

 

[tristanity03]

Oh lol, I mean A6 not A4 hahah. Thanks again man, just sleepy that time.
