APU / AMD Questions

piggykid1 · May 10, 2014

So I know the APUs have pretty decent integrated graphics, but does it also boost the GPUs performance?

And is it better to have an AMD card or Nvidia card when you have an APU?

Also doesn't AMD R.A.M boost gaming performance when you have an AMD card and an APU?

Thanks!

you can mix them up no problem.

there was this dude on some store the other day when I went to provice.

amd processor = amd gpu and put nvidia and you're fucked.

intel processor = go nvidia and put amd and you're fucked

but it doesn't go that way.

just put up what you want and it's all good.

1) It would only improve the performance when running in dual-graphics mode.

2) Dual-graphics mode is only compatible in some AMD Gpu's, if you don't want dual graphics you can go with either an Nvidia or AMD card.

3) AMD-branded ram will not improve the performance of an amd product.

What APU are you planning to buy?
