This is my friend's PC, every time he opens a browser or tries to connect to the internet his FPS dips low on all games (Alan Wake, Crysis, etc.), so he keeps rolling it back so he can play again. After installing the latest driver AMD just released for the card, when he keeps rolling back not even that helps anymore. If he doesnt open any browser his gaming experience is great. We used to have this problem setting up the PC but we got it working somehow using the rollback trick, now that doesn't work anymore, just want some input from the community :)
 
Solution: Don't try to use the APU doing other stuff when gaming. The on-die GPU can barely play games. Having it and the CPU do other stuff in the background is stealing clock cycles and resources.
If he absolutely has to do other stuff while gaming, he needs a discrete gfx card.
 


He does have a discrete GPU, Powercolor 7790 OC Edition :/ Right now he cannot do any rollbacks and every game he plays has FPS lower than 25 :/
