Will My A10-6800k handle a R9 285

I have an a10-6800k Richland APU (yep should of bought an fx) but im not concerned about the CPU anymore would it be able to handle a r9 285 or should I just get a 280 instead any help is appreciated,

Possibly a slight bottleneck. In GPU intensive games you will be fine but games that also use the CPU you might have some frame rate limitation / drops.

To be safe, the 270x will be a much wiser choice.


What can also do is use dual graphics so its a crossfire with your onboard integrated GPU + a discrete card: http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/dual-graphics#desktop

Ok so i've narrowed it down to three options either a r9 280 a r9 285 or a gtx 960. Im keeping the APU as the CPU seeing that its just an athlon x750k and is very overclockable again any help is appreciated.
