True story bro. I really cannot understand some people . For example you already have a 2080 ti and you panic sell for something that its 20-30 % faster? even 40-50 in some cases but still. You wait other models to be released from nvidia and also the most important you wait for the competitor of nvidia which is AMD to release their new cards and then buy

I actually had the 6670 back in 2012 in my Intel i5 2500k build, it actually did pretty good with games, it wasn't the best but for budget card it got the job done, I think I got around 30-50 fps on games but for those fps back then was pretty good
@@TDP808 Yipp was the difference between 7730 and an 7750/7770 in Peaks. Idk if it works in Win 10. After our Power Plant killed minimum my FM1 Board and never could Test my good old Llano 3870k anymore because FM1 was dead and it dependet hard on the Motherboard if it runs fine or like a hot pot of garbage
I had this thing and It served me well for years, had it paired up with a gtx1050 ti oc and 8gb of ram, and I have to say that performance was very good for a budget build
This was the 1st CPU i used for my very 1st PC build in 2013 along with a 750Ti and 16GB RAM. It ran most games in 1080P 60FPS medium-low graphics settings no problem at the time and it was perfect for me cos i was very poor at the time and all those parts were very cheap.
@@RandomGaminginHD searched them up not long after seeing your video. Maybe you should do a "Attempting to game on a workstation" video? Keep doing your fine work!
All these dudes saying this was their first gaming CPU makes me feel OLD yet I'm only young, I swear. My first gaming CPU was the i286 at 8MHz and I upgraded to the i486 SX 25MHz for Doom 2
After that I had the Cyrix 686 200MHz, then AMD K6-2 500MHz, then AMD Athlon 2000+, then core2duo e400, then the legendary i5-2500k which I still have today. So the Ryzen 4700 or equivalent will be my 8th gaming CPU when it's released
@@johna527 for me it was Celeron 2.4ghz (northwood-256), then pentium 4 521, then core 2 duo e7500, then just upgraded to core 2 quad q9650 (the xeon equivalent actually)
Mine was a Pentium 100, then K6-2 233, K6-2 350, Celeron 433, Athlon Thunderbird 1.2, Athlon 1700+ Thoroughbred, Athlon 2500+ Barton, Athlon 64 3200+, Athlon 64 FX-55, and a few years later, Phenom II X6 1100T, which I still use today!
I'm surprised the performance was even as good as it was. These AMD APUs were pretty bad. I thought Crysis looked terrible. Didn't look 720p to me, more like 480 or something.
Those APU are RAM hungry. Dual channel, high bus and setting a fixed amount of shared memory via dual graphics changes a lot of things. I boosted from 40 to 60fps in Dota 2 after changing 8GB of ram to 2x4GB
also their GPU can get underclock if the ram is too slow or not compatible. My 8GB module was 1600Mhz but ran at 1333 due to compatibility with mainboard. My A10-5800k has a 800Mhz GPU but was running at 667 due to bus.
I actually had one of these since 2013 until 2-3 months ago. It wasn't too bad paired with a RX 570 though most modern games had pretty rough stutters. It gamed well with Skyrim on high/ultra, and plenty of other games for me. Loved using it for it's price and how long I got it to last.
I built one for my sister-in-law who needed a cheap computer using this chip. 128gb ssd, 8gb of ram and a cheap micro ATX board in one of those Rosewill cases with an included PSU. If it fails then I have excuse to build a new low budget system. TBH I almost find low budget builds to be more exciting than pricier ones.
Streammaster 101 I had the same system as my main gaming set up until recently. Consolidated a bunch of my lower end system parts into a trade for a 2070 Super, and put into an old i5 7400 HP Omen PC. Now collecting the parts for my next system, putting the 2070 Super in a system with an R5 3600X or R7 3700X with a B550 MoBo and hopefully push to 32GB of GSkill Trident Z RAM 👍🏻
@@MudSluggerBP nice I want to be able to upgrade but I'm not really gonna be able to for a bit I want to try to get a ryzen 5 3600 and rtx 2060 or 70 depending on prices
The Apollo Guidance Computer had RAM of 4KB and 32KB hard disk. But yes, it was quite low. However you're off about the reason why it was so low. You have to understand how those computers worked then, Margaret Hamilton actually wrote the code for NASA " Apollo Mission" then input those commands and coding on the fly. She was really the brains and the computer as mighty as it was in those days, couldn't actually compute that information all at once and in real-time.
Funny story about that, I have an A8-6500B in my desktop. It came with an A4-6300B which actually was okay for doing basic work for a few years, but decided to upgrade maybe 2 years ago (I also upgraded from 8 GB to 16 GB RAM...which I probably didn't need to do). The computer cost me $60 back in 2016 and it's still with me now, so I guess it was worth it.
I had this exact cpu in my computer for about five to six years as my main computer, i had paired this processor with a gt1030 with 16gb of ram with windows 7. I had felt it did well for what it was and was glad the memories with friends and games this processor had let me play.
Used an A10-7800 quite a few years back as my main system - the A10's were kind of the Ryzen APU's of their day because they had better onboard graphics than anything intel could offer but were a bit behind CPU wise. Good to see you doing an older AMD CPU for a change - does seem to be a lot more i5, i3, pentium reviews on your channel.
new apus are actually very good cpus, and the vegas are very powerful, considering they are integrated gpus. The athlon 3000g is an outstanding cpu for the cost.
The Athlon 3000G is absolutely phenomenal for it's price. Overclock the piss out of it, get a dedicated GPU down the line and you're set. You have a nice little rig with damn near unlimited upgrade potential at this point.
I love watching these videos! Yes, my R9 3900x and 2070 Super are better but it's just soo cool to see what the little ones are capable of and how they handle tasks. Also your voice is so calm it's always nice after a stressful day to watch my daily dose of RGiHD!
I played games for 5 years with the A8-7600 apu it was hard like i had too put the resolution to 480p on some game like just cause 3 but it was still a good gaming experience with just an apu
So, I always like your videos, and I really appreciate that you gave this APU a fair chance by going right to 720p on the benchmark tests for it. TBH, it actually peformed even better than I was expecting, all things considered. However, I wanted to point out a couple of things: [1] I can't speak for the U.K., but currently as I write this the Athlon 3000g's lowest price on Amazon is $90 + tax here in the U.S. - ouch. When you factor in actually BUILDING the system with a decent MB, case, PSU, RAM, SSD, etc, it CAN easily exceed $300-$400 if you're not careful. [2] While the price of this CPU by itself (and many other older APUs) have become ridiculous, I've been buying HP pre-builts with A8 and A10 APUs in them (often the newer ones, like the 9800) for as little as $20-$30 each (U.S.) lately. That usually includes 8GB of ram and sometimes even a small SSD. So, as a light, ultra-cheap gaming pre-built, these APUs are starting to make a lot of sense.
When I switched to PC fully I ran a prebuilt A8-5500 with a 1050 2gb slapped into it. It tanked Warframe, and I got addicted to that for months on end, completely ignored the fresh copy of BF1 I'd just bought for the Xbone. Upgraded very foolishly to an Athlon 880k, a good lesson learned, and later invested in an i5 4570 which did me until I had pieced together a Ryzen build. I got very lucky with my upgrade path, learned a lot of valuable lessons.
Dude. I rocked a Kavari chip for YEARS! I had an A10 7700k for years before I got my Ryzen system last year. Mum has it now in her office PC. It ran GTA V pretty well tbh at Normal settings.
What a piece of history. I used this with a gigabyte fm2 board a decade ago to play wow. I had a massive 8gb mem and a 750 gpu. My youngest uses this to this day to play minecraft and roblox and a few games on steam but differently he uses 32gb ram and an old 980ti. It is quite fussy though with new triple a titles lol. Thank you for the content.
Just got a super cheap A8 7650K with A88X motherboard, 8GB DDR3 1600 and SSD+HDD I was wondering what I could couple this baby with. 750ti it is then. But does my 315W psu enough ?
Ahh the good old day. This was my first APU gaming pc I had. It played all of my games really well (well... at the time). and temperatures were really bad, hitting around 90 degrees celcius on load. I remember watching your videos with my A8 6600k wishing i can get a better PC. Now I have a Ryzen based gaming PC, i never seemed to transition to Intel and I'm kinda glad I didn't. Sometimes, I always look back on old setup admiring what got me into this community.
I have one, it's running right now on my pc at 4.4GHz paired with a RX 570, it's usable but you can feel the bottleneck in most games. At least it runs way better than my older pc, which had the E-350
I used to use this APU when I bought a prebuilt off eBay because I wasn't trusted to build my own. It was my first modern CPU that wasn't a Pentium 4, It was the best thing ever. I later added a dedicated graphics card.
I used to have an A6 7600. And at 1080p it bottlenecked the crap out of my 1050ti. I went from 20fps on Forza Horizon 4 (FH4) with regular freezes (lowest settings 1080p) to 50-60fps with a dip down to 30-40fps sometimes (High settings 1080p) when I upgraded my CPU to a Ryzen 5 3600 (and tripled my RAM). Didn't regret doing that one second. Now recently I've put an Artic Liquid Freezer II 360mm rad in place of the stock cooler and upgraded the 1050ti to a 2080 super and damn, this has also been a world of difference.
I had the A8-6600k and it was great fun. I overclocked the CPU to 4.6Ghz, the iGPU from 800 to 1110Mhz and the RAM and that gave an enormous boost (the iGPU is quite dependent on RAM clock and the GPU can be overclocked in AMD Overdrive) It would be interesting to see a comparison when overclocked, I remembered the difference to be quite big.
Had this in an Asus prebuilt paired with an amd 5400 2gb... Took me over 2 years to realize that the Apu was actually more powerful than the gpu they paired it with
@randomaminginHD, I would love to see you test the gimmick AMD was touting on those APU's, Hybrid Crossfire, some of those apus could ''crossfire'' with some lower end GPU's for supposed extra performance, I have always wondered how much that helped back in the day. Maybe you could do something like that?
I tried to find a compatible GPU card back when I had this system, but for the price I could get a waaaay newer and better nVidia one, so I went that route ;)
I bought the 6400K when it first came out...and it still runs great on Linux Mint... That build will graduate to being my main server once my Ryzen 5 5600G build is ready in the next three weeks...
this is my CPU!!!! Mine is paired with a GTX 1060 3gb and it can run gta 5 (high mostly execpt render distance), rainbow 6 (medium everything and ultra for meshes), overwatch (medium) at 1440p at 60fps consistent. Note that mine has a all core overclock at 4.5ghz
Going from a pc with intel atom and on board graphics to a pc with this cpu felt like I discovered a new world, 4-5 years I had a good time, finalIy i could play games the way u should.play god damit. Being used to play games in 15 fps, the leap felt HUUUGE, from barely been able to play SA:MP to playing saint row 4 at medium setting was a dream came true
My brother is responsible for getting me back into PCs with one of these... I want to say it was an A8-7850k. I thought it was super cool that the onboard graphics could run in crossfire with an R240... I wish they’d do that with today’s APU’s for an even more sensible upgrade path.
Before I got my Ryzen 5 3600/nvidia 1660 system I was playing great games (NOT AAA ones) on a dual core A4-6300 - these included WoW, Diablo 3, Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 and Civ 6 (adding a low profile 1030 2gb card helped heaps here too). Am looking at getting this exact CPU for making a media PC for our lounge room. :) Great video.
My first major PC build had the A10-5800k, and that processor was a beast for its time. It ran Skyrim at max detail around 30fps and I could even play BF3 at medium settings on 1080p. Eventually I "upgraded" to an A10-7850k and got some faster 2400mhz dram, but it didnt make much of a difference suprisingly. I didnt actually buy my first dedicated GPU until the R9 300 series came out. Still using my 390 to this day, but I have a Ryzen 1700x and 3000mhz ddr4.
I have an old athlon x4 760k which i think is also a richland CPU. It's clocked at 4.7ghz stable & paired with an r9 270 surprisingly still gives a good gaming experience in a load of games.
Many thanks for no frills content. You've collected another subscriber. My FX8350 is getting a bit long in the tooth by today's standards but I'm still pleasantly puzzled at my performance being paired with a 1060.
Reminds me of the time when I had an A6-6400K in my first "gaming" build and having to run games such as Bendy and the Ink Machine off of the onboard. Was not pleasent. Even the GT 730 improved things
I'm one of those people who still use A8 7650K now in 2020. For me it isn't that bad performing cpu, I actually playing with the Onboard R7 Graphics. It's still playable for some games and for some modern title a 720p resolution is the best setting of resolution. I'm playing NBA 2K21 with this chip
A classic in FM2/FM2+ chips: Undervolt the hell out of it, drop the iGPU, use something like a 1050, dual channel RAM and tune the timings. You can make it work... up to a point.
I built my daughter’s first PC with an a10-6800k and an R7 260, was a pretty good little computer back in 2015 but I don’t imagine it would have aged nicely.
I'd kill for one of these right now. I'm at work. My work PC has a 2-thread A6-6400k. Our work gets done faster with more processing power, yet here we are with a dozen A6-6400k systems, and two holy grail i5 4460 systems.
The first ever laptop I had was an Acer Aspire with an A8 all the way back in like 2013 or 2014, It was okay? Ran hot though cuz' it had a discrete HD gpu inside, just built my first pc this september and wow what a leap for AMD with Ryzen.
This was my first CPU to buy , build a small factor pc ( No gpu ) back in 2013 , i can safely say that this cpu was ok for that amount of money i gave back then , nowdays isn't worth to even look at it after 4 years paired it with rx 560 4gb from asrock , integrated graphics still hold those 2 cores back even on low 1080p games
Still using my a10 7870 and i cant believe how strong these are almost 10 years later Upgraded to a cheap aio watercooler, covering both cpu and gpu for a measly 50bucks and overclocking right now already at 4,4 ghz without even trying
I didn't realize it's been 7 years since the A8-6600K was released... I just replaced a 6600K in my garage pc with a R3-3200G and it really didn't even need replaced, other than being a bit slow sometimes when switching a video to fullscreen.
My first ever PC build had a A10 5800K Trinity APU. Great piece of Hardware at the time. I could even play Battlefield 3 at low settings, 30 fps (somewhat stable)!
I have ryzen 5 4600G and i have an old intel combo motherboard that can use DDR2 ram or DDR3 ram and i can tell you if you use DDR 3 or DDR2 ram there is not much differences in performance unless AMD APU use DDR4 ram. That is why i waited 2 Years for AMD to release AMD 4600G to shop and now i playing online games @1080P, watching youtube in 4k 2160p resolution.
I have a FM2 board on a non-gaming pc. Recently upgraded from the A6 to an eBay A10. For me it was worth the 40 USD. I would not play games on it, but it does what I need it for. Converting to a SSD also helped things out. With the A6, every little thing would max the CPU out but that is really rare with the A10. Like I said, Windows 10 non-gaming.
For "End-of-Life" Graphics, I wonder how something like a GTX 560Ti 2GB would hold up today? When I 1st built my PC back in the Summer of 2013 I started with a EVGA 560Ti 2GB (not sure of exact model but was a single fan) paired with a FX-4100 OCed to the high 4GHz range under a Hyper 212 Plus.
I’ve never loaded gta5 on my laptop thinking it wouldn’t possibly run. But if you can get that level of performance from that chip in gta5 its obvious I’ve been underestimating my laptop.
My laptop has an AMD A8-3510mx with HD6620G 512mb integrated graphics. Can play CSGO ok but struggles with most EA games. But after a pretty hefty overclock and maxing the fan it gets pretty close to a playable experience in Star Wars Battlefront (2013 I think).
I have an a10 6800k in my old gaming rig. Currently in the hands of my younger brother. We are going to get him a new gpu to use with it until he can afford to build his own Ryzen build.
What I always found sad about the RIchland refresh of Trinity was the built in integrated graphics based around TeraScale 3. The next year, AMD released Kaveri APUs that had GCN integrated graphcs. Those APUs like the A8 7600 are still receiving graphics drivers updates.
The problem with that APU is the TeraScale-based GPU, it's a shame because it is quite competent. Myself I never owned one of those, but I did see many 6500 and 6800 APUs installed on Lenovo ThinkCentre SFF workstations.
My first PC had a 5600K and a HD 7850, nowadays I have a secondary PC with it and a HD 8570 (R7 250) DDR3, works great for playing Dark Souls remastered at 720p60. That 5600K has actually been in 3 different setups, my first PC, my little brother's first PC and my current secondary PC, for about $80 for the chip and $45 for for the motherboard it's really hard to complain.
Gaming on an A8 4555M wasn't too bad back when my laptop was my mobile gaming PC. However it provided a worse experience than my older laptop with a Phenom II N970 and HD5650 1GB (run with a 140MHz overclock).
I still run my main 2 desktops(home office, and game room/family room) with AMD A-10 5800K APU's OC to 4.0Ghz Stable with 16GB DDR3 1866Mhz RAM(OC 2133Mhz), but I've paired them with AMD RX 560 4GB GPU's 240GB ADATA SSD, 2TB HDD for storage, on Gigabyte Micro ATX FM2+ Mobos running Manjaro MATE Linux, both systems on air cooling, and they handle most titles I play @ 1080p 60Hz fine. With any AMD APU when you are using the onboard graphics, or not from my experience the faster you can OC your RAM the better as that's just the way AMD's APU's have been for some time now.
It would be great to see some more older APUs (and top of their class) running stock vs. overclocked with modern drivers in an “ultimate GCN APU showdown” type video. 1st Gen GCN: Athlon 5370; Socket AM1 2nd Gen GCN: A10-7890K; Socket FM2+ 3rd Gen GCN: A8-7680; Socket FM2+ Then also maybe: 3rd Gen GCN: PRO A12-8870 vs 3rd Gen GCN: A12-9800 Both socket AM4 with plenty of reviews; but it would be nice to revisit AM4s first APU 4 years later with modern drivers and modern titles. ALSO: could you add some Rust gameplay (with modesty filter on) as it’s a highly demanding title and it would be interesting to see how well it would (or wouldn’t run) on some of these chips.
My old laptop had the mobile version of this chip and it was awful at just about everything. I ran most games of the 2016 era on back at 1024x600 to just barely squeak by with 30 fps but then again I was mostly playing early access games like 7 days to die and rust which at the time were not optimized for crap. The main frustration with this computer was both the 5400 rpm hdd and the battery life.

Pentium 4 for me
Damn, i could almost be your son propably (04) and im soon 18
I'm surprised the performance was even as good as it was. These AMD APUs were pretty bad. I thought Crysis looked terrible. Didn't look 720p to me, more like 480 or something.
mmmh, the Intel APU's are very bad, the amd apu's is very good, but not for hard gaming
Intel doesn't have APUs, APU are AMDs own intellectual property
Those APU are RAM hungry. Dual channel, high bus and setting a fixed amount of shared memory via dual graphics changes a lot of things.
I boosted from 40 to 60fps in Dota 2 after changing 8GB of ram to 2x4GB
also their GPU can get underclock if the ram is too slow or not compatible. My 8GB module was 1600Mhz but ran at 1333 due to compatibility with mainboard. My A10-5800k has a 800Mhz GPU but was running at 667 due to bus.
I think this was back at a time when rendering tricks were employed to increase FPS through artificially rendering the textures at a lower clarity.

I still use a6-7400k :')
i still got my A10-6800K up and running.
ooh a little update, my 6800K actually performs okay while playing GTA Online.
I actually had one of these since 2013 until 2-3 months ago. It wasn't too bad paired with a RX 570 though most modern games had pretty rough stutters.
It gamed well with Skyrim on high/ultra, and plenty of other games for me.
Loved using it for it's price and how long I got it to last.
I built one for my sister-in-law who needed a cheap computer using this chip. 128gb ssd, 8gb of ram and a cheap micro ATX board in one of those Rosewill cases with an included PSU. If it fails then I have excuse to build a new low budget system. TBH I almost find low budget builds to be more exciting than pricier ones.
Same. For me, high end pc parts (like the rtx 3000 series) are kinda boring,since they run pretty much everything you throw at it.
400W PSU and that will be fine. Just focus cooling.
I HAD THIS EXACT CPU UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO i was also able to get it too 4.4ghz (i was finally able to get a ryzen 3 3200g and rx570)
Streammaster 101 I had the same system as my main gaming set up until recently. Consolidated a bunch of my lower end system parts into a trade for a 2070 Super, and put into an old i5 7400 HP Omen PC. Now collecting the parts for my next system, putting the 2070 Super in a system with an R5 3600X or R7 3700X with a B550 MoBo and hopefully push to 32GB of GSkill Trident Z RAM 👍🏻
@@MudSluggerBP damn, that would be such a beast.
@@MudSluggerBP nice I want to be able to upgrade but I'm not really gonna be able to for a bit I want to try to get a ryzen 5 3600 and rtx 2060 or 70 depending on prices
we went to moon with only 18kb of memory...but we need 12core for gaming...
Now you can render the moon. :P
The Apollo Guidance Computer had RAM of 4KB and 32KB hard disk. But yes, it was quite low. However you're off about the reason why it was so low. You have to understand how those computers worked then, Margaret Hamilton actually wrote the code for NASA " Apollo Mission" then input those commands and coding on the fly. She was really the brains and the computer as mighty as it was in those days, couldn't actually compute that information all at once and in real-time.
I'm p sure the Apollo computers don't have to run Windows Update and Chrome in the background lmao
@@v3xman Right. Imagine the moon landing failed because someone clicked on Windows Update and forced a restart. lol
USA never went to the moon
I still use this bad boys younger brother A10-6800k clocked ad 4.5 in 2020 xd
I dare u to overclock it to 6ghzt
Your younger brother A10-7870k @ 4.5 here.
i too still use this A10 6800K. still great for gaming.
I have a a10 5800 is it bad ive never used it
OH MY GOD I WAS RUNNING THAT EXACT CPU/MOBO COMBO UP UNTIL FEBRUARY THIS YEAR!
Funny story about that, I have an A8-6500B in my desktop. It came with an A4-6300B which actually was okay for doing basic work for a few years, but decided to upgrade maybe 2 years ago (I also upgraded from 8 GB to 16 GB RAM...which I probably didn't need to do). The computer cost me $60 back in 2016 and it's still with me now, so I guess it was worth it.
I had this exact cpu in my computer for about five to six years as my main computer, i had paired this processor with a gt1030 with 16gb of ram with windows 7. I had felt it did well for what it was and was glad the memories with friends and games this processor had let me play.
Used an A10-7800 quite a few years back as my main system - the A10's were kind of the Ryzen APU's of their day because they had better onboard graphics than anything intel could offer but were a bit behind CPU wise.
Good to see you doing an older AMD CPU for a change - does seem to be a lot more i5, i3, pentium reviews on your channel.
I feel pretty good. I got my Athlon 3000G score up to 944 in R20.
Yeah new APUs are so much better
new apus are actually very good cpus, and the vegas are very powerful, considering they are integrated gpus. The athlon 3000g is an outstanding cpu for the cost.
The Athlon 3000G is absolutely phenomenal for it's price. Overclock the piss out of it, get a dedicated GPU down the line and you're set. You have a nice little rig with damn near unlimited upgrade potential at this point.
I love watching these videos! Yes, my R9 3900x and 2070 Super are better but it's just soo cool to see what the little ones are capable of and how they handle tasks. Also your voice is so calm it's always nice after a stressful day to watch my daily dose of RGiHD!
I played games for 5 years with the A8-7600 apu it was hard like i had too put the resolution to 480p on some game like just cause 3 but it was still a good gaming experience with just an apu
So, I always like your videos, and I really appreciate that you gave this APU a fair chance by going right to 720p on the benchmark tests for it. TBH, it actually peformed even better than I was expecting, all things considered. However, I wanted to point out a couple of things: [1] I can't speak for the U.K., but currently as I write this the Athlon 3000g's lowest price on Amazon is $90 + tax here in the U.S. - ouch. When you factor in actually BUILDING the system with a decent MB, case, PSU, RAM, SSD, etc, it CAN easily exceed $300-$400 if you're not careful. [2] While the price of this CPU by itself (and many other older APUs) have become ridiculous, I've been buying HP pre-builts with A8 and A10 APUs in them (often the newer ones, like the 9800) for as little as $20-$30 each (U.S.) lately. That usually includes 8GB of ram and sometimes even a small SSD. So, as a light, ultra-cheap gaming pre-built, these APUs are starting to make a lot of sense.
When I switched to PC fully I ran a prebuilt A8-5500 with a 1050 2gb slapped into it. It tanked Warframe, and I got addicted to that for months on end, completely ignored the fresh copy of BF1 I'd just bought for the Xbone. Upgraded very foolishly to an Athlon 880k, a good lesson learned, and later invested in an i5 4570 which did me until I had pieced together a Ryzen build.
I got very lucky with my upgrade path, learned a lot of valuable lessons.
Dude.
I rocked a Kavari chip for YEARS! I had an A10 7700k for years before I got my Ryzen system last year. Mum has it now in her office PC. It ran GTA V pretty well tbh at Normal settings.
Oh wow, I just sold my old Gaming PC with this processor and an RX 480! It served me well for a long time
im still gaming on an A8-7650k integrated gpu :')
Nice I am playing with my boosack
@@thealien_ali3382 boolsacc?
i havew the same cpu. What can i run if i get a 750ti?
"gaming" OK lol
@@MrEditsCinema what's the problem, moron. If he/she plays in that gpu that's gaming...
These APUs were really popular among internet cafe shops here in the Philippines. At least prior to Ryzen came out.
Man.. What a coincidence. I was just about to built a pc with this processor which was lying around for a very long time and your video came out
What a piece of history. I used this with a gigabyte fm2 board a decade ago to play wow. I had a massive 8gb mem and a 750 gpu. My youngest uses this to this day to play minecraft and roblox and a few games on steam but differently he uses 32gb ram and an old 980ti. It is quite fussy though with new triple a titles lol. Thank you for the content.
Just got a super cheap A8 7650K with A88X motherboard, 8GB DDR3 1600 and SSD+HDD
I was wondering what I could couple this baby with.
750ti it is then. But does my 315W psu enough ?
@@ZERARCHIVE2023 more than enough by 100 w
Ahh the good old day. This was my first APU gaming pc I had. It played all of my games really well (well... at the time). and temperatures were really bad, hitting around 90 degrees celcius on load. I remember watching your videos with my A8 6600k wishing i can get a better PC. Now I have a Ryzen based gaming PC, i never seemed to transition to Intel and I'm kinda glad I didn't. Sometimes, I always look back on old setup admiring what got me into this community.
Using this one since Aug 2013, it's still a beast man ..
I wasn't the biggest fan of processors like this from AMD, but with Ryzen they have become a good competitor for Intel.
I have an A8-3800 that I use as an HTPC still. Runs Rocket League, Life is Strange series, and TellTale stuff really well with a Steam Controller
I have one, it's running right now on my pc at 4.4GHz paired with a RX 570, it's usable but you can feel the bottleneck in most games. At least it runs way better than my older pc, which had the E-350
I built my dad a PC with exactly that chip and motherboard combo. The whole PC cost new under 300€ and is still running strong
I used to use this APU when I bought a prebuilt off eBay because I wasn't trusted to build my own. It was my first modern CPU that wasn't a Pentium 4, It was the best thing ever. I later added a dedicated graphics card.
Hi , what card did you add
I used to have an A6 7600. And at 1080p it bottlenecked the crap out of my 1050ti. I went from 20fps on Forza Horizon 4 (FH4) with regular freezes (lowest settings 1080p) to 50-60fps with a dip down to 30-40fps sometimes (High settings 1080p) when I upgraded my CPU to a Ryzen 5 3600 (and tripled my RAM). Didn't regret doing that one second. Now recently I've put an Artic Liquid Freezer II 360mm rad in place of the stock cooler and upgraded the 1050ti to a 2080 super and damn, this has also been a world of difference.
Still rocking this bad boi in 2020
I had the A8-6600k and it was great fun. I overclocked the CPU to 4.6Ghz, the iGPU from 800 to 1110Mhz and the RAM and that gave an enormous boost (the iGPU is quite dependent on RAM clock and the GPU can be overclocked in AMD Overdrive)
It would be interesting to see a comparison when overclocked, I remembered the difference to be quite big.
Had this in an Asus prebuilt paired with an amd 5400 2gb... Took me over 2 years to realize that the Apu was actually more powerful than the gpu they paired it with
@randomaminginHD, I would love to see you test the gimmick AMD was touting on those APU's, Hybrid Crossfire, some of those apus could ''crossfire'' with some lower end GPU's for supposed extra performance, I have always wondered how much that helped back in the day. Maybe you could do something like that?
^ bump
I tried to find a compatible GPU card back when I had this system, but for the price I could get a waaaay newer and better nVidia one, so I went that route ;)
I bought the 6400K when it first came out...and it still runs great on Linux Mint... That build will graduate to being my main server once my Ryzen 5 5600G build is ready in the next three weeks...
I have this. I'm going to get a new pc soon. Thank you AMD, for all those years and still running GTA Online at 30 fps.
hi bro, can u describe your pc spec?
i have a 6600k but its not from Amd^^
Oooo
Right, mine is the 6800k from Intel
I have a i9 9900k at 5ghzt
Murphy oh... that pc is not bad or good it’s just and what most people would have. U have more then 8gb of ram?
I have an i5-9300H + GTX 1650, very common budget laptop spec combination
this is my CPU!!!! Mine is paired with a GTX 1060 3gb and it can run gta 5 (high mostly execpt render distance), rainbow 6 (medium everything and ultra for meshes), overwatch (medium) at 1440p at 60fps consistent. Note that mine has a all core overclock at 4.5ghz
Stock cooler?
@@aodtonix no, corsair h50 AIO. I still own the stock one
Going from a pc with intel atom and on board graphics to a pc with this cpu felt like I discovered a new world, 4-5 years I had a good time, finalIy i could play games the way u should.play god damit.
Being used to play games in 15 fps, the leap felt HUUUGE, from barely been able to play SA:MP to playing saint row 4 at medium setting was a dream came true
My first pc back in 2012 was an hp pavillion with a a8-5600k, this is a throwback for me
i used to have a a10 5700k with sapphire hf 7770 ghz edition rig and recently upgrade to r5 3600 and rx 590 it served me well all those years :)
Hey man, love your videos. They always make a boring day better.
ahh.. my first "gaming pc" had that processor. remember the good old days playing arma 2 dayz at 25-30fps.
My brother is responsible for getting me back into PCs with one of these... I want to say it was an A8-7850k. I thought it was super cool that the onboard graphics could run in crossfire with an R240... I wish they’d do that with today’s APU’s for an even more sensible upgrade path.
How can anyone not like your videos?
I still have an A6-6400K for 6 years and it still playable
Before I got my Ryzen 5 3600/nvidia 1660 system I was playing great games (NOT AAA ones) on a dual core A4-6300 - these included WoW, Diablo 3, Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 and Civ 6 (adding a low profile 1030 2gb card helped heaps here too). Am looking at getting this exact CPU for making a media PC for our lounge room. :) Great video.
My first major PC build had the A10-5800k, and that processor was a beast for its time. It ran Skyrim at max detail around 30fps and I could even play BF3 at medium settings on 1080p.
Eventually I "upgraded" to an A10-7850k and got some faster 2400mhz dram, but it didnt make much of a difference suprisingly. I didnt actually buy my first dedicated GPU until the R9 300 series came out. Still using my 390 to this day, but I have a Ryzen 1700x and 3000mhz ddr4.
I have an old athlon x4 760k which i think is also a richland CPU. It's clocked at 4.7ghz stable & paired with an r9 270 surprisingly still gives a good gaming experience in a load of games.
Yeah but that’s actually a relatively decent CPU, even for the FM2 era. I love AMD to death but the FM2 series man, how did that happen?
Many thanks for no frills content. You've collected another subscriber.
My FX8350 is getting a bit long in the tooth by today's standards but I'm still pleasantly puzzled at my performance being paired with a 1060.
Reminds me of the time when I had an A6-6400K in my first "gaming" build and having to run games such as Bendy and the Ink Machine off of the onboard. Was not pleasent. Even the GT 730 improved things
i have this apu on my pc and it goes well on overclock 4.5 ghz with aftermarket cooler , still good with a decent gpu
I'm one of those people who still use A8 7650K now in 2020. For me it isn't that bad performing cpu, I actually playing with the Onboard R7 Graphics. It's still playable for some games and for some modern title a 720p resolution is the best setting of resolution. I'm playing NBA 2K21 with this chip
how about AMD A10-7850k?
yes finally a video abt the cpu ok using (well I'm using an a8 7650k but eh) been using it since 2016!
awesome channel. Love seeing you grow
A classic in FM2/FM2+ chips: Undervolt the hell out of it, drop the iGPU, use something like a 1050, dual channel RAM and tune the timings. You can make it work... up to a point.
I built my daughter’s first PC with an a10-6800k and an R7 260, was a pretty good little computer back in 2015 but I don’t imagine it would have aged nicely.
I'd kill for one of these right now.
I'm at work. My work PC has a 2-thread A6-6400k. Our work gets done faster with more processing power, yet here we are with a dozen A6-6400k systems, and two holy grail i5 4460 systems.
The first ever laptop I had was an Acer Aspire with an A8 all the way back in like 2013 or 2014, It was okay? Ran hot though cuz' it had a discrete HD gpu inside, just built my first pc this september and wow what a leap for AMD with Ryzen.
This was my first CPU to buy , build a small factor pc ( No gpu ) back in 2013 , i can safely say that this cpu was ok for that amount of money i gave back then , nowdays isn't worth to even look at it
after 4 years paired it with rx 560 4gb from asrock , integrated graphics still hold those 2 cores back even on low 1080p games
Still using my a10 7870 and i cant believe how strong these are almost 10 years later
Upgraded to a cheap aio watercooler, covering both cpu and gpu for a measly 50bucks and overclocking right now already at 4,4 ghz without even trying
4:54 that stutter is really funny
It is like a really old film
I love you how he has mastered the use of green screens. Joking aside, one of my favourite youtubers.
I didn't realize it's been 7 years since the A8-6600K was released... I just replaced a 6600K in my garage pc with a R3-3200G and it really didn't even need replaced, other than being a bit slow sometimes when switching a video to fullscreen.
My first ever PC build had a A10 5800K Trinity APU. Great piece of Hardware at the time. I could even play Battlefield 3 at low settings, 30 fps (somewhat stable)!
I have ryzen 5 4600G and i have an old intel combo motherboard that can use DDR2 ram or DDR3 ram and i can tell you if you use DDR 3 or DDR2 ram there is not much differences in performance unless AMD APU use DDR4 ram. That is why i waited 2 Years for AMD to release AMD 4600G to shop and now i playing online games @1080P, watching youtube in 4k 2160p resolution.
I have a FM2 board on a non-gaming pc. Recently upgraded from the A6 to an eBay A10. For me it was worth the 40 USD. I would not play games on it, but it does what I need it for. Converting to a SSD also helped things out. With the A6, every little thing would max the CPU out but that is really rare with the A10. Like I said, Windows 10 non-gaming.
I still use one of these, it's not bad tbh but definitely feel the bottleneck in modern games tho.
Got it with a 1050/60 3gb, can't remember which
For "End-of-Life" Graphics, I wonder how something like a GTX 560Ti 2GB would hold up today? When I 1st built my PC back in the Summer of 2013 I started with a EVGA 560Ti 2GB (not sure of exact model but was a single fan) paired with a FX-4100 OCed to the high 4GHz range under a Hyper 212 Plus.
my pc has an A6-7400K and its my pc today lmao
Maybe you should try to make video about comparing that amd apu with some new graphics card. I think that idea is very interesting :v
I’ve never loaded gta5 on my laptop thinking it wouldn’t possibly run. But if you can get that level of performance from that chip in gta5 its obvious I’ve been underestimating my laptop.
My laptop has an AMD A8-3510mx with HD6620G 512mb integrated graphics. Can play CSGO ok but struggles with most EA games. But after a pretty hefty overclock and maxing the fan it gets pretty close to a playable experience in Star Wars Battlefront (2013 I think).
I have an a10 6800k in my old gaming rig. Currently in the hands of my younger brother. We are going to get him a new gpu to use with it until he can afford to build his own Ryzen build.
Hello can i use this cpu and remove the 8570 then put rx 550 or im stuck with 8570 forever
did better than I was expecting.
my a10 5750m with its integrated hd8650g is actually still pretty fine. plays fall guys well and csgo well enough.
What I always found sad about the RIchland refresh of Trinity was the built in integrated graphics based around TeraScale 3. The next year, AMD released Kaveri APUs that had GCN integrated graphcs. Those APUs like the A8 7600 are still receiving graphics drivers updates.
The problem with that APU is the TeraScale-based GPU, it's a shame because it is quite competent. Myself I never owned one of those, but I did see many 6500 and 6800 APUs installed on Lenovo ThinkCentre SFF workstations.
My first PC had a 5600K and a HD 7850, nowadays I have a secondary PC with it and a HD 8570 (R7 250) DDR3, works great for playing Dark Souls remastered at 720p60.
That 5600K has actually been in 3 different setups, my first PC, my little brother's first PC and my current secondary PC, for about $80 for the chip and $45 for for the motherboard it's really hard to complain.
The csgo map "swamp" is really badly optimized, did you test other maps too?
Gaming on an A8 4555M wasn't too bad back when my laptop was my mobile gaming PC. However it provided a worse experience than my older laptop with a Phenom II N970 and HD5650 1GB (run with a 140MHz overclock).
youtube made me miss this epic video smh
I still run my main 2 desktops(home office, and game room/family room) with AMD A-10 5800K APU's OC to 4.0Ghz Stable with 16GB DDR3 1866Mhz RAM(OC 2133Mhz), but I've paired them with AMD RX 560 4GB GPU's 240GB ADATA SSD, 2TB HDD for storage, on Gigabyte Micro ATX FM2+ Mobos running Manjaro MATE Linux, both systems on air cooling, and they handle most titles I play @ 1080p 60Hz fine. With any AMD APU when you are using the onboard graphics, or not from my experience the faster you can OC your RAM the better as that's just the way AMD's APU's have been for some time now.
It would be great to see some more older APUs (and top of their class) running stock vs. overclocked with modern drivers in an “ultimate GCN APU showdown” type video.
1st Gen GCN: Athlon 5370; Socket AM1
2nd Gen GCN: A10-7890K; Socket FM2+
3rd Gen GCN: A8-7680; Socket FM2+
Then also maybe:
3rd Gen GCN: PRO A12-8870
vs
3rd Gen GCN: A12-9800
Both socket AM4 with plenty of reviews; but it would be nice to revisit AM4s first APU 4 years later with modern drivers and modern titles.
ALSO: could you add some Rust gameplay (with modesty filter on) as it’s a highly demanding title and it would be interesting to see how well it would (or wouldn’t run) on some of these chips.
My first gaming computer I built was on the fm2+ a8 7600
My old laptop had the mobile version of this chip and it was awful at just about everything. I ran most games of the 2016 era on back at 1024x600 to just barely squeak by with 30 fps but then again I was mostly playing early access games like 7 days to die and rust which at the time were not optimized for crap. The main frustration with this computer was both the 5400 rpm hdd and the battery life.
