Gaming Benchmarks

When AMD sent me this APU, they included some of their own testing comparing Crossfire to APU performance.  Following their lead, I did a couple tests myself on games I felt they left out and a couple games I didn’t quite believe their results (Metro 2033 especially).  My results were quite surprising: they really have done a great job with using the APU in Hybrid Crossfire (also known as Dual Graphics).  In some of my gaming benchmarks, adding a mid-level Radeon card turned games playable on medium-high settings.  AMD has made the APU capable of playing today’s recent games (albeit not the best settings) while still having the computing power of a Phenom.  On top of that, they’ve kept the price competitive.

*in AMD’s tests, they used a Radeon 6570 in Crossfire to test.

  1. In addition,we conducted several debugging with GPU overclocking,finally we found out that thought it could enter system easily in core frequency of 800MHz(default frequency of 600MHz)
