r7 260x or 7750/7770 for A10 6800k

[NotTechie-1334934]

which is the best gpu for a10 6800k?

 

[AshyCFC]

260X is the best but also most expensive.

7770 also good but 260x is better

7750 weaker than 7770 but also decent starter good.

If you're getting a discrete Graphics Card anyways, I'd recommend swapping out the A10 for this.

Good luck

Do you already have the 6800K? If you are looking to put together a build and are getting a discreet gpu you may want to consider an Athalon 2 X4 750K. It has none of the gpu cores a 6800K has and is quite a bit cheaper

i dont have 6800k yet. which is faster a10 or athalon?

 

[Mephikun]

They're pretty much the same, the Athlon just does not have the GPU that the A10 has.

 

[NotTechie-1334934]

is it easy to oveclock?

 

[Mephikun]

Yep, it's an unlocked processor. I would recommend not using the stock heatsink if you plan to OC it though.

 

[NotTechie-1334934]

how about the athlon 760k?

 

[Mephikun]

From what I've seen it's best to just stick with the 750k as the 760k seems slightly unstable.

 

[NotTechie-1334934]

Thanks for this bro I never knew there are more available fm2 socket out there. I thought apus are the only fm2 socket processor released. Thanks alot.

 

[Mephikun]

No problem! The 750K and 260X should run quite well for you.

Good luck with your build

Hey,
1) I agree on the CPU (not APU) plus dedicated graphics card.

2) FYI, but the GPU in the APU won't perform at full performance without fast DDR3 memory (2133MHz is about the lowest that won't bottleneck it).

The GPU in the APU uses some of your System RAM so if you had 8GB and assigned 2GB you would only have 6GB left.

So when you add the slight increase in cost of faster DDR3 RAM (1600MHz good enough for dedicated CPU) and the loss of some DDR3 then that really affects the value of things.

An APU only makes sense if it's good enough as it is.

Thanks for the info bro.
