AMD A10-6790K Quad Core Socket FM2 4.3GHZ 100W APU Retail Box

Comment:
Originally bought it for a HTPC configuration computer with 8GB. After a while I noticed that I could share my Steam games from my gaming rig to this one. I am amazed that I can play anything with it on my 42" HDTV including Borderland2, Batman Arkham Origin,and many more without lag and HD resolution. I can now also play co-op games with my son like Left for Dead 2. This was unexpected. All the while, I have thought that APUs can only play with low resolution and with low FPS for modern games. I am impressed, specially because I got this on Black Friday. Please note that I use 8gb high speed (2400) memory kit (got it on sale for $64 last December) and assigned 2 gb of it to graphics. It may have helped. This review was modfied by poster @ 04-08-14 04:38 PM

Always been an AMD fan, and I like the convenience of the video built in no extra card for smaller pc builds.

For the sale price, this APU provides a fast and zippy windows environment. In addition, it does provide playable graphics settings for most games. Call of Duty, Mass Effect 2, Vegas 2, Trine, all played at 30FPS+ at low-medium settings. For just over 100 dollars, you cannot complain about that.Would not purchase for the gamer, but for someone who just plays games on the side, it is a good purchase. AMD control center easily overclocks this unit to 4.6-4.7ghz range. I settled for 4.5ghz. The stock fan does a okay job of cooling, but is slightly audible as expected.
