AMD A10-6800K (Richland) APU Review

According to EA, Battlefield 3 garnered 3 million pre-orders by the day of its release. It is unknown at present whether these figures are worldwide or just for the US. The pre-order total makes it “the biggest first-person shooter launch in EA history”, according to the publisher. The engine is beautiful on the PC and very demanding of the partnering hardware.

We used the settings illustrated in the screenshot above for testing.

This particular game proved to be a little too demanding for the APU.  We have left this in the review as it illustrates the limitations of the integrated graphics well.

  1. They are good value for what you get. add in a HD7870 and you also have a cheap, powerful gaming rig at 1080p

  2. Great for media center, no need for a discrete card.

    This was really useful to me, I have an older A8 and wanted to sell it, and put £70 towards a new gen model. It looks to be worth the move, especially for HD gaming.

  4. AMD rule in the low end, I just wish they could get something out at £300 to kick intels ass.

  5. The Gaming FPS tests have me confused. Are those the results with or without the dual graphics??? Or is it with the discrete graphics solution? I would like to see the performance with dual graphics.

  6. is the a10-6800k good for video editing and 3d rendering also? just struggling to find a good amd processor. thank you.
