Asus F2A85-V Pro & AMD A10 5800K Review (w/ HD7660D)

Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.

We use the built in STEAM settings for these results, so you can directly compare against your own system.

At 720p the A10 5800K manages to produce a smooth frame rate, although it drops close to the danger zone at 25fps a couple of times. The 3700k with HD4000 on the other hand is more like a slideshow.

At 1080p the AMD A10 5800k returns the error message above. Not that it would be playable at this resolution anyway.

  1. looks like a great chip from AMD, I havent though that in quite some time either. Intel must be worried !

  2. Asus make great motherboards, but the prices of these A85X motherboards are stupid. I wouldnt pay this for a board for a £95 chip

  3. I wasnt expecting this to be that good, so im shocked. I can see this being really popular for media centers and small chassis builds.

    If they did a deal on motherboard and chip for £130 all in, that would be great. I can hope!

  4. I noticed on the Cinebench test that the A10 smashes the Core i7 2640M at standard clocks. Obviously it wouldn’t get near a desktop Intel i7, but this result must be a strong indication of what A10 can do in Ultrabooks, no? How much will A10 get crippled to fit inside a mobile solution?

  5. Yeah ill be getting one of these chips at some stage, but I might wait until it hits a mobile platform near me
