was it an upgrade or down grade

[Bigtrucksdd]

I am currently running msi fm2 a85xa-g65 motherboard....i just left microcenter they had a big after christmas sell, they asked me what i had because i really wanted an A10 6800k apu bec right now i have an A6 6400k apu. They convenced me to get an FM2+ board A78M-E35 for the new A10 7850k APUThe board was on sale for $40.00 Which he said its running the R7 270x onboard apu graphics was this a good move is my question?

 

 

Opposed to my other board i was also running crossfire msi hawk hd r5770

Don't ever trust an employee at a tech store. I once overheard a guy telling a 70 year old granny that the i5's had 6 cores and then he recomended 32GB of RAM to make grans pc faster.

It does not have a 270X onboard. What a crock of shit.

Don't let them sell you stuff.

Tl;dr you downgraded

This.

It's an upgrade downgrade... you went from an A85 chipset to an A75 chipset in exchange for the socket... and no the A10-7850k is does not have an R7 270X... It does have an iGPU almost equal to an R7 250... (not too sure on this one since their site does not list specifics)

get back to the store and give them back their shit and buy a cheap H series socket 1150 motherboard that has the features you need along with a core i3 or a locked core i5.

why in earth is the purpose of building fm2+ sockets after fm2

@Bigtrucksdd Go back to the store and tell the manager (the manager directly) what happened (how you got lied to) and he/she will give you a full refund. Microcenter managers don't fuck around from what I've seen (in Cincinnati).

can it be explained on how a military class 4 is a downgrade from a class 3

[SoftenButterCream]

Damn, you could of asked us before hand, we are always happy to help. And its a complete downgrade...

 

Edit: A10 7850K has integrated R7 250.... and at least i would of gotten A88x platform

That sucks man. You should of done bit more research, that's why i had to learn every bit about pc components, and other stuff such as cars and other tech so i don't get ripped off by fucked up salesman trying to make a quick buck. But you should return it. And don't get another APU. Get a Intel i3, and cheap H81 board and call it a day. And in case they try to offer you 32 GB of ram. Get 8 GB if your only gaming, and 16 GB for editing and etc.

nobody even knows what a ''military class'' is including MSI themselves i'm sure...as much  as i love msi this is purely a marketing gimmick.

with the crossfire i have now msi hawk hd r5770 my A6 6400k runs at 100 percent almost constantly on battlefield 4 isnt the bottleneck the cpu then sense the usage is 100 percent on both cores....my vids are barely hitting 20 percent usages

Yeah that's pretty rough. Your gpus are getting choked by that cpu. I'd do like others have said and use your money on an i3/i5 and motherboard combo instead of AMD. I think you'll be really glad you did.

nevermind sorry i had in mind that the 6400k was a quad core...

Sell your duo cards and get a single killer card for your new (limited...) motherboard. I recommend the GTX 970 which is the best bang for dollar card out there. 

 

Runs all modern gales on ultra at 40 FPS+ for under $400. Can't be beat. + free game if you get on Newegg.

Moral of the story is to never go to the store without knowing exactly what you want. Then you just walk up and grab what you need and tell the salesmen to fuck off.
