Incredible Performance from On Board APU.

rjk · 28 Sep 2012 at 15:08

Hi Guys

We have a very cool upcoming platform from AMD in the office that Gibbo has been testing today, it overclocks like a demon and best of all, plays the latest games at decent resolutions from its onboard graphics!!!

We cant disclose too much info about it at the moment but im sure the majority of you will be able to use your Google-Fu to work out what it is

This is running a 1680x1050 resolution on Borderlands 2 at max settings.

Oh god the song.....

There's no style like gangnam style.

HankScorpio · 28 Sep 2012 at 18:18

Looks promising.

Burger making an appearance, good to see.

I could be wrong...but the gameplay looks like it's vsync/capped at 30fps? Or is it simply because of the video recorder can only capture 30fps max?

I wish i was korean

, GANGNAM STYLE!!! Theres a part in sheffield on tuesday themed on that as well lol.

But anyway back to the cpu.. which platform is this for? FM1? AM3+?

It's FM2 and probably a 5800k, check my link for the motherboard specs. They've not released the CPU support info either, I was hoping there would be a sneaky peek at the other processors that will be released.

Why did you cut off the best bit of the song? Should've kept recording to make the video longer

.

On the other had nice to see Trinity is looking promising for low end systems

Here is a review of it, I assume OCuK can actually confirm it is the 5800k now

What GPU will these crossfire with?

Marine-RX179 · 28 Sep 2012 at 23:18

From the reviews, it would seem that the 7660D on the A10-5800K is still only around the speed of GT440 (which is already not exactly known as a great performing card)...

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 28 Sep 2012 at 23:35

Looks like the IGP does quite well against the GT440 and HD5570:

The IGP even manages to match a GT640 GDDR3 in Civ5!!

It looks like the chaps from the OcUK HQ were right.

Martini1991 · 28 Sep 2012 at 23:40

Overclocked I can see Trinity being like a GT640 consistently.

sexyhyde · 28 Sep 2012 at 23:46

I'll be getting an a10 for shizzle. the fact that i'll be able to run borderlands 2 on my tv will be a nice bonus.

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 28 Sep 2012 at 23:46

This RAM would probably do quite nicely with a Trinity A10 based system:

It seems even 2400MHZ DDR3 improves IGP performance with the HD7660D!! :eek:

Trinity is going to be a load of fun to tweak I suspect.

Martini1991 · 28 Sep 2012 at 23:48

Definitely agree there with the RAM Cat.

Not unless AMD have given OcUK special permission to break NDA like they did Anandtech...

Hoping we see some decent reviews that show results with faster/overclocked memory, as well as generic results.
You can argue that you wouldn't be buying fast memory for a "budget" system using an AMD APU, but given how cheap memory can be at the moment, it's a poor arguement.
