AMD Dual Graphics - Does Crossfire with your Onboard Video Make Sense

2014-03-01
with its factory tuning and data center DNA and Intel 730 series SSD is an amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts so what is AMD dual graphics it's fairly simple does using the power of two GPUs together sounds similar to something crossfire you say yes it is it is similar to crossfire and unlike crossfire is competitor you can actually use things that are extremely similar but not identical so in this case you can use the integrated GPU on AMD's Kaveri platform to work together with the dedicated graphics card for better gaming performance in our configuration we have an r7 250 with an a-10 78 50 K and this is one of AMD's recommended configurations AMD's website is not currently updated with all available configurations for this level of dual graphics but I'm sure it'll update at some point in time for performance testing I tested fairly standard stuff I ran with Far Cry 3 and BioShock Infinite running both of them at 1080p on high just to see how well these would do and the the dual graphics ran a lot better than just a ferry APU which we can obviously expect but what was very cool was how much better it ran that just the discrete graphics card which was definitely nice to see another thing to note is the price per FPS which we also checked out which is much better running in dual graphics which you expect as they're the same cost and it got better but it was just how much better which was actually extremely impressive all right guys I want to do more science but I need to know if you guys want me to do more science so in the video below and on the forum be sure to comment telling me what you guys want to do what I'm thinking is maybe some more configurations around this price range maybe give or take 50 bucks to see what competes with dual graphics outside of this little ecosystem we can try some cheaper CPUs and try some more expensive CPUs we can try some more expensive graphics cards we can bounce all over the place and just see where everything lines up in price per performance and raw performance so what do you guys think what configurations do you guys want me to test all that kind of stuff again below the video or on the forum while you're here on your YouTube your tube be sure to favorite and share the video and like dislike as normal and also be sure to subscribe to see all of our content in the future while you're on the forum if you get really annoyed by all the ads all over the place be sure to become a contributor as at any contribution level you can get rid of the ads and if you're looking for a shirt I know Linus has a holy balls shirt coming out with some cats and playing with toys on there because that's obviously what he's referencing and you can pick up one of those on our district line site which you can find fairly easily I'm sure and it'll be in the description below the video as always guys thanks for watching and I'll see you next time you
