AMD 7700K APU SLOW ON GAMES

[HERO CODIZAL]

 Uhm ive been wondering why my pc build has been running slow. i have been playing GTA V based on  one of the pc builds which LINUS  have shown on youtube.

So heres what i have.
-AMD 7700k black edition APU, running/clocked at 3.4 ghz (i think this is much better than LINUS' build which is the AMD A10 6790K)
-kingston hyper fury x 1866 8 gigabytes (one stick )
-a68hm - e33 v2 motherboard from msi.( i looked for a FM2+ motherboard and this is what i got)

- WDC WD750 (750 gig hard drive from a laptop from 2013) look for lenovo g470 

I am planning on buying a graphics card but not, now maybe on  September 2016.
the r7 260x maybe

 

so i want to know what my PC's problem is

gta V runs  24- 33 fps but with other people using the same apu it runs 30-40 fps even without dual graphics just the apu itself and they have a 2x4  ram(1600). But i think my ram is better than theirs
any reccomendations? i have lowered everything its on 1024X768 RESOLUTION I DONT KNOW WHY THE 720 P RESOLUTION IS MUCH LAGGIER
 is it my ram or is it my hard drive or is it my power supply? i used the power supply which was included in my deep cool smarter case  which says DE480 rated at 350w peak power @ 480w

Dual channel is better for APUs, get another stick of RAM.

it isnt your hard drive or your power supply. These two components don't affect your in game performance (if you have a powerfull enough psu, which you have) First, why do you think that if linus made a build with it at some time that it will run games well? I mean, it's an APU! If you want to get good performance in games, go with a graphics card, or your pc will run "slow"! Also, your ram may be a bit better but your'e running a single stick and the example you are talking about use two. That means dual channel vs single channel. That's probably why your game runs slower. Lower the graphical settings if you want to play, or get a gpu, its as simple as that!

do not get more ram. save money for gpu later. do not invest into anything on that rig other than gpu and maybe ssd.

sir i am planning on getting a new gpu. but i was just wondering why it was slower than the others running on the same build. i have lowerd it to the minimal setting too sir

so you think a GPU like the r7 260x will be better than buyin a new stick of ram or do i get both?
well ssd is very expensive here in my country , thanks for the  reply btw

you don't need more RAM, it's not going to help one bit. 

 

260x or a used 7870/7950 would be golden

i think ill go with the 260x sir its the only one compatible with my APU

what do you mean it's compatible? you can't hybrid crossfire 260x 

 

not to mention hybrid crossfire is BAD and you shouldn't even think about doing it.

this is my first pc build sir. IM gonna be a Computer engineer and its embarrsing that i dont know much.
so what would you recommend that i do now sir?
the amd web page says any r7 is compatible with my apu .

any gpu is compatible with your apu.

 

you can only hybrid crossfire r7 240 and r7 250 though and they are way too slow to even bother. http://wccftech.com/amd-kaveri-dual-graphics-works-ddr3-memory-based-radeon-r7-gpus/

 

you can buy ANY gpu on the market and it will be great. 260x, 7870, 7950, 750ti, 950, r9 280/380, whatever fits your budget. 

 

 

 

 

edit: if you mean this 

 

 

this just means that it has r7 graphics built in, nothing to do with compatibility.

750ti is faster than 250, about the same as 260x but it's a little outdated too, 950 is taking it's place now.

Yet the R9 380 performs up to 15% better and can cost like $30 less on a good day.

this may help friend

 

the R7 360 (or 260) is a great way  

[darealsoulless]

APUs perform at their best with dual/quad channel RAM that's clocked at high speeds. See this video:

 

 

 

Anyways, why spend the money on high capacity and high clockspeed RAM when you could just buy yourself a 750 Ti or a 950 or something?
