Video Perspective: AMD A-series APU Overclocking and Gaming Performance

[news 28]

We have spent quite a bit of time with AMD's latest processor, the

A-series of APUs previously known as Llano, but something we didn't

cover in the initial review was how overclocking the A8-3850 APU

affected gaming performance for the budget-minded gamer. Wonder no

more!

Quote: "We tested 3DMark11, Bad Company 2, Lost Planet 2, Left 4 Dead

2 and Dirt 3 to give us a quick overall view of performance increases.

We ran the games at 1680x1050 resolutions and "Medium"-ish quality

settings to find a base frame rate on the APU of about 30 FPS. Then

we applied our overclocked settings to see what gains we got.

Honestly, I was surprised by the results."

 

Thanks for posting our news!!
