While viewing some of youtube videos, the r7 igpu of a8-7680 can even play games like apex legends at 720p. I bought one and i did some testings and there are some quite little fps drops at league of legends. A very annoying stuttering/lag while playing valorant. I haven't tried apex yet. Can someone help me improve the apu? Someone also said that old drivers of this igpu are better. If so where can i download the older drivers? Or should i stay using the new one?


Specs:

A8-7680
DDR3 2X2 4GB 1600MHZ
500 HDD

I'm planning to upgrade my ram to 2x4 soon, add ssd, and will add rx 560 2gb too. Im just saving money for now. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot you are going to be able to do with that chip. The only suggestion I would make is to have the best cooling you can, and the fastest RAM. It probably will not be notable enough to spend on a level appropriate to the increase you might see.
I used one of this line in a small HTPC rig and where it did great with movies and such, while gaming even when the setting were low enough on video getting 100% CPU usage was quite common. This carried over while using dedicated graphics like 750ti as well.
