This AMD 7700K APU runs slowly in games.
Uhm ive been wondering why my pc build has been running slow. i have been playing GTA V based on one of the pc builds which LINUS have shown on youtube. So heres what i have. -AMD 7700k black edition APU, running/clocked at 3.4 ghz (i think this is much better than LINUS' build which is the AMD A10 6790K) -kingston hyper fury x 1866 8 gigabytes (one stick ) -a68hm - e33 v2 motherboard from msi.( i looked for a FM2+ motherboard and this is what i got) - WDC WD750 (750 gig hard drive from a laptop from 2013) look for lenovo g470 I am planning on buying a graphics card but not, now maybe on September 2016. the r7 260x maybe so i want to know what my PC's problem is gta V runs 24- 33 fps but with other people using the same apu it runs 30-40 fps even without dual graphics just the apu itself and they have a 2x4 ram(1600). But i think my ram is better than theirs any reccomendations? i have lowered everything its on 1024X768 RESOLUTION I DONT KNOW WHY THE 720 P RESOLUTION IS MUCH LAGGIER is it my ram or is it my hard drive or is it my power supply? i used the power supply which was included in my deep cool smarter case which says DE480 rated at 350w peak power @ 480w
These parts aren't the issue for your in-game performance—your PSU is likely powerful enough. Why would you think building with it would help? APUs handle graphics well, but without a strong GPU, performance drops. If you need better speed, focus on the graphics card instead. Your RAM might be decent, but using a single stick instead of dual channels can slow things down. Adjust your game settings if you want to play smoothly.
That’s completely unreasonable—don’t overclock. Save your budget for the GPU later. Only invest in a GPU and possibly an SSD on that build.
I'm looking into why my GPU feels slower compared to others on the same version. I've lowered the settings myself.
You don’t require additional RAM; it won’t make a difference. A 260x or a refurbished 7870/7950 would be ideal.
You're asking about compatibility, but it seems like you're expressing frustration. It's important to clarify that hybrid crossfire 260 isn't recommended, and trying to combine different systems can lead to issues.
