Intergrated graphics or GPU?

Hello,

 

My system currently has an AMD A10-7850k and a Gainward GeForce GT740 2GB, but when I play titles like PUBG and H1Z1 I barely get 15fps. Would it be better for me to remove the GT740 and use the APU's intergrated graphics instead?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

APU: AMD A10-7850K @ 4300MHz (107W)
GPU: MSI GTX 970

MOBO: ASRock FM2A58M-VG3+ R2.0

RAM: 8GB G-Skill Ripjaws

Why don't you try both and see which is faster?

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I've removed the Gainward GT740 from my machine and OC'd my APU, getting around a 27% average increase in FPS on 3Dmark. I have a Hyper Evo 212 cooler installed but it's running at 79°C max, seems to still be within the limits. Never expected this big of a difference. Thanks everyone, maybe I can sell my GT740 and get a better one instead :P

I wasn't sure if the GT 740 was worse or not, I guess it is :P.

 

Just remember to steer clear of GT cards, especially when the iGPU is literally better in this case xD

might wanna put an AIO  on that a10 ...79c is pretty high temps might be able to squeeze abit more overclock out of it also

 

my 7870k is running @ 4.2 oc currently and usually doesn't get over mid 60 under load with my h60 + could use it in a future build if you plan to build/upgrade in the next year or so

I'm sorry to say but i doubt your going to be able to sell that GPU for enough to make it worth it.
