AMD A8-3850 Llano and Radeon HD 6870 - Need for Speed Hot Pursut (2010)

[ellaseba]

My spects:

AMD APU A8-3510MX 1.8 GHz (2.5 GHz)

AMD(TM) Radeon HD 6620g 512Mb + AMD Radeon HD 6470m

6144 Mb RAM

Samsung 305V4A/ 305V5A-S03

Windows 7 Home Basic 64 bits

DirectX 11 (Pixel shader 5.0)

Resolution 1366x768

Do you think I run well the Need for Speed​? How many FPS? I recommend for optimal performance you activate the box triple buffering job is based in Catalist-Games-3D application settings (High Performance Graphics)

can i used my hd5570 here

[AlphaAlec45]

I got a AMD A8-3870k, should I get an extra graphics card? If so which one ?

[lalalaa1232]

3:31 the van's windows xD

[VideoDude6475]

so will a 6990 work?....

[cyberboy109]

put in another 6870 and have it crossfire, you will not bottlneck your cpu, Im running a A8k overclocked to 3.5 with 2 6850s in crossfire....

[UltraPCB]

shit cpu



[ValugaTheLord]

This is why I want Lappy with one of the AMD APUs!!! It costs almost nothing and runs games like a charm!

[javisonic]

@pheeson

That is correct, the highest you can go with Hybrid crossfire is the 6670, after that the Apu will not use the on board graphics.

[EiccaHnr]

@javisonic That's the exact information I was looking for.

Thanks dude!

[AdityaNair1000]

The a8-3850 is an APU not a GPU

[javisonic]

@thesims2starwars123

The game supports the xbox 360 controller, as soon as you plug it in it changes the messages to the xbox buttons (A,B,X,Y, etc..) but once you plug it out it switches to pc (space, asdw, etc..)

[javisonic]

@thehostler0

Im not 100% sure but I think the A6-3650 only supports crossfire with the 6450 & 6350, not the 6570 & 6670.

[thehostler0]

Wil a A6 3650 work with a 6670? Im thinking of getting it as a HTPC but i'd also like to be able to play games on med/high instead of low/med

[javisonic]

@gen2sega

No it's not on hybrid crossfire mode its just a bench to see how the A8 performs as a quad processor.

[gen2sega]

wat?the apu can crossfire with 6870??i thought the apu limit is the 6670 O.O

[pheeson]

@gen2sega

the 6670 is the highest you can cross fire with the APU, if you go higher the GPU component of the apu will switch off and only the cpu will be working

[javisonic]

@thatsux0rz

Yup, once you pop in a 6670 the hybrid crossfire will be enabled as well as you'll be able to access it on the CCC

[javisonic]

@biftasi

It's xbox 360 controller compatible, so when ever you plug a controller all the command switch from pc to xbox.

It's also posted on the specs section that I'm using a wired controller.

[biftasi]

WTF? on PC and press A to skip? It's not in XBox?

[javisonic]

@BlackCap784

Anytime, just happy to help.

[javisonic]

@BlackCap784

When ever you install a discrete graphics card the on board chip turns off, but you can change the setting in the motherboard to prefer the pci lanes.

[BlackCap784]

@javisonic awesome. thank you very much!

[thatsux0rz]

@javisonic If you use what AMD reccomends: a Radeon HD 6670 or under series card it will use dual graphics - the APU chip and the discrete.

[javisonic]

@BlackCap784

Yes, when I recorded this vid the APU was at stock clocks, this apu is a great solution for low budget computer build, but personally I don't recommend it, you're better off buying an Athlon xII or a core i3 because the fm1 doesn't have that many upgrade options so you'll be stuck on a dead end road, when it comes to gaming.

[BlackCap784]

@javisonic thanks for the concern. still interested though. trying to go for a cheap build with as little upgrades as possible, with the only upgrades more focused on the graphics card. i'm not looking for top performance, as long as it's acceptable and playable.

at worst, i'm more than willing to OC mildly (200-300Mhz is mild.....right?) if i have to, or grab an A8-3870K when it gets cheaper. expecting this rig to last 2.5 - 3 years max.

[BlackCap784]

@javisonic btw, was wondering, how do you turn off the onboard Graphics? through the BIOS, Catalyst Control Centre, Windows Graphics Options, or Device Manager?

[lYouJustGotOwneDl]

crossfired with the gpu the 6550 that is in the APU???

[BlackCap784]

so wait, was this at stock CPU clock? and does OCing DRAM bring any benefits when using a discrete GPU, or were all the reviews referring to the performance boosts on the integrated GPU when OCing DRAM?

thinking of grabbing an A8-3850, and upgrading it with a 560Ti or an HD6950 at a later date, hopefully working at stock clock without experiencing the ever so dreaded "bottleneck". planning to OC the CPU modestly though if worse comes to worst.

[Leaann2010]

hot pursuit is sheet

[javisonic]

@Quembell

Hybrid crossfire only works on 6000 cards up to the 6670. So no, I was not running crossfire.

[Quembell]

you activate de crossfire?

[javisonic]

@Rockniels

Agreed :D

[Rockniels]

your kung fu is too lazy bro ;)

[aeyman301]

how do you get the Anti-aliasing on? in this game?

[Rotemetoot]

Just a tip. Windows Live movie maker is fine...

As long as you choose: "save movie for high definition display"

That's the only setting that gives me foulproof 1080p full screen.

[TheDarkFenrir]

This makes me want the APu more now. Lol.

[thedingdoeatyourbaby]

This is not a good game to test on. This game was imported from the consoles, and is extremely CPU-bound.

[Renikeiswow]

@thedingdoeatyourbaby i wouldnt say it extremely CPU bound because i play this on my 2.3 GHz processor and an GTS450 video card and 3gb of ddr2 ram and i do have it on med i think and it runs pretty darn smooth for a crappy processor i have so IMO i think it is a decent game to test on if he has it as high as possible but w/e =)))) as well as im waiting to get my money back from TD cuz they were on back order so yea... im a sad panda right now

[Gordyyyy]

Thanks. For my undervolt settings, I'm getting no where near 7 hours in power-saver mode with 15-20% brightness.. Could anyone share their settings with me?

[TheUrzur]

lol it looks like online flash game, you must be kidding me that this is what takes DX11 card for billion bucks to play it ...

[javisonic]

@RacingRyan0

I recorded it with Fraps but I made the mistake of coding it on Windows live movie maker.

[RacingRyan0]

What did you record this with?

[javisonic]

@RyansworId

Well i had purchased the card a while back and i had it with a Q8300 and ddr2 so i wanted to do a cheap upgrade and for a good $270 i picked up the A8, A75M and 4gb of Corsair Vengeance. So it was a pretty good set up for the wife considering i got $200 back from selling my old mobo, cpu and Ram.

[RyansworId]

Why the 6870? You cant go any higher then a 6670 in dual graphics. The A8 + 6670 is better than the 6870.

[javisonic]

@schwabydude

since both components are power efficiency oriented (the apu is 35 - 45w instead of 100w) you will get slower performance, but the 6750 had a good amount of power behind it so you should be able to play almost all recent games at decent settings, i say you should get similar performance at 720p with no aa or vsinc running and you'll definitely hit the 60fps mark.

[schwabydude]

what do you think about an amd a8-3500 w/ radeon hd 6750m configuration?

[savagemessiah82]

I think If you get a video card like that a core i3 would be a better choice

[javisonic]

@Fruna123

I did i little search on youtube and i saw a couple of vids that do test the Hybrid Xfire, dirt 3 at 1080i, 4xAA, High settings, no V-sinc, yielded 62fps. I ran the same bench except much higher settings, 1080i, 8xAA, Ultra Settings, V-sinc on, and yielded 60fps. if you have the money you're better off with the 6870.

[javisonic]

@Fruna123

you would be better off just with the 6870 w/o hybrid crossfire, since the crossfire scalability isn't super amazing, you do have two gpu's but with the 6870 you have a much bigger bandwidth of power. It's not much bigger, i would say 20-30% better performance depending your set-up. if your on a budget the the apu with 6670 is a great solution, but if not then you're better off with the bigger card.

[ailgartwj]

nice setup :D good video

[javisonic]

@jhvhest

Unfortunately once you go higher than a Radeon HD 6670 the hybrid cross fire shuts off.

[jhvhest]

I was wondering.... Is hybrid crossfire functioning?
