AMD Vision A10-6790K APU Review

Henry Butt November 29, 2013 APU, Component, Featured Announcement

Dirt Showdown is the latest title in the franchise from Codemasters, based around the famous Colin McRae racing game series, although it no longer uses his name, since he passed away in 2007.

We used the settings illustrated in the screenshot above for testing with all other settings set to the ‘Low' presets.

Both the stock and overclocked AMD configurations offered very respectable performance in this test. We were also surprised how well the Intel system performed, even though it didn't achieve anywhere near as high scores as the AMD configurations.

Great price for what you get. ideal for a media center, which I have been meaning to build all year, but never got around to it 🙁

Wouldn’t an i3 have been a more appropriate comparison?

Nice Finally somebody tested a richland APU with 2.1 ghz memory! Cudos to the review team. I personally use 2.4 memory and it’s even better like that – you should have used 2.4 memory for the oc… the gpu part in this is really memory starved and I’ve seen huge increases.

@Steve why is not appropriate to compare it to the i5 – it offers similar day2day performance even if it’s lagging in pure cpu the more then capable gpu makes up for it + its way cheaper 120$ for AMD vs 180$ Intel(newegg) and this chip would eat an i3 4340 for instance alive… even if intel is selling the i3 for 160$ – well I guess it’s not illegal to be dumb or a fan now is it…
