Hello,
I have a couple of questions involving the A10-7850K APU.
1) Firstly, I would like to know if the Enermax ETS-T40-TB processor cooler will be able to handle an overclocked AMD A10-7850K. Its stock frequency is 3.70 GHz, going up to 4.00 GHz turbo. I was looking for 4.50 GHz. Is this a possibility with this cooler?
2) Secondly, what would the performance gains be from stock frequency, using DDR3-1866 memory, against its current position in PassMark?
3) Lastly, originally the APU was purchased to take advantage of its powerful IGPU, while keeping the build cheap (no real gaming, Minecraft at the most, which it handles on full settings; 1080p just fine). However, now that GTA V has been announced for Windows, I'm intrigued into buying it and will therefore need a dedicated graphics card to go with the processor. I was thinking of the R9 270X by Gigabyte, however is the A10 going to cause bottlenecking in this respect?
The game is set for a Q4 release, so no official requirements have been unleashed as of yet. Game Debate has a rough estimate, with the R7 250 under the 'medium' category, and a 6970 under the 'recommended' category. I'm thinking the R9 270X is around a 7870 in terms of performance, but I'm more worried about the processor being a bottleneck? I mean, it is a powerful quad-core, but it's not the best and it doesn't have L3 cache like the more powerful chips.
Thanks.
