Is this apu good for gaming
1638396
it is OK for mild gaming. if you want an APU that is Good for gaming, get either the newer Kaverti A8-7600 as a minimum, or any Richland or Kaverti A10 (ex. A10-6800k).

Yes, this is good for gaming. This is the "Black Edition" so the cpu/gpu can be overclocked. Just don't use the stock cooler that comes with it for overclocking. You can Hybrid Crossfire this APU with certain radeon cards like the 7750. I've played The Witcher in full hd so far and it can do Dead Rising 3 with few adjustments compared to my NVidia card.

If you have dedicated graphic card yes, if not then no. It can play basic non-intensive 3D games like TF2 or KSP.
1638399
It can play Skyrim on ULTRA settings, Left 4 Dead 2, quite a few others. No issues with gaming.

It is fine for gaming with at least 8gb of memory I purchased this processor for my sister and it works well. I personally have an A6 Richland black edition 8gb ram Asrock Fm2A88X Extreme 4+, and I run World of tanks on High as well as other games. If you really love AMD, and have the cash to spend Skip the Kivarie, and go strait to Godavari 16gb of ram an MSI board, and an SSD as a gaming drive.

It is a good starter CPU and as long as you play either older or less intensive games, it will do just fine until you need to upgrade. Alternatively, I have heard good things from Intel Processors, so it may be useful to look into some of those at the price ranges you are looking for.

Yes, this should do more than fine for gaming. I own it and haven't had any problems.

Yes, you can run a graphic card with this processor. If you have the right motherboard and use the specific cards that will work in tandem with the apu. You can go to AMD or ATI website and it should have that information.

First, you realize that this APU allows for a crossfire configuration with some brands of AMD low profile GPUs correct? If you are already aware of that, then the next question is, does your motherboard actually support crossfire? If the answer is yes, then great, but keep in mind not all games are designed to run in crossfire mode and may actually suffer performance because of it. I actually just recommend one really high end GPU if you are really insistant on buying a GPU. I can't tell you what cards to crossfire because that is all a matter of opinion. I'd recommend you read reviews on NewEgg and then make a purchase based on that. Keep in mind this APU really rocks for the price it is at, I'd recommend trying it stand alone before buying a new GPU, it might save you some money.

Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

it has the intel built in gpu 4400 , its quite a nice gpu but not for gaming for sure , unless you lower the resolution

The answer would depend on the minimum and recommended specifications of the games you're trying to play. If the hardware meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the game, then it will play very well.

As long as you are above 350 watts the AMD A10 series of APU's should run fine. That said, if you later decide to go with a separate video card or multiple hard drives you most likely will want to go with a power supply above 500 watts. If you are on a tight budget the Antec Basiq series is pretty good.

Yes, this PC is better than your average store bought PC. This PC can perform very well for any situation except playing the newest games in max resolution.

its good enough to play up to date games with settings just below best graphics and perform without any lag. and you can always purchase a better graphics card in the future

8GB RAM is recommended for most APUs if you're planning to use the built in GPU. Make sure you have an FM2 socket motherboard with an A55, A75, A85 or A85X chipset. If your PC has those things, you should be good to go.

It's just an Athlon processor at that point. If you aren't wanting to use the gpu I would get either an FX chip or Intel chip depending on your preferences. This should still work but it's not as good as either of those. The AMD APU's are really designed to be a cheap solution for an integrated chipset setup.

The Resolution is 1366 x 768 . If you are looking for a gaming Laptop, you will want to look for something with a dedicated Video card. The APU will not perform as well as you would like.

an I3 can run high quality games, this will have no problem. just get yourself a good graphics card compatible with the motherboard Bios
