Apu?

[Zeke_]

Something pretty unexpected just recently happened to me and am now forced to look towards an APU. What is an APU that you can reccomend for under 120$ that can play Overwatch? That is the most intensive game I'm wanting to play, aside from that it's just older games and CSGO

A10-7860k at 100$

or

A10-7890K at 150$

 

 

But dont expect 60 fps gameplay tough

Consider saving a bit more... just for a little more you could get a G4560 + RX 460

Wait for ryzen apus (I can't remember the gen name for them)

Pretty much this, I don't think any APU would play at a satisfactory level at this point in time.

 

A ryzen APU might be ok, but we don't know how powerful they will be.

OP- My 4770K's built in HD4600 can play Overwatch at 45-60FPS at 2560x1080, but 50% scaling. Looks meh, but perfectly playable.

i3-7100's HD630 is around 35% faster than the 4600.
