AMD A8-7600 Kaveri APU reviewed

GPU performance is greatly affected by the system memory speed. In Battlefield 4 we can see a lot of scaling caused by memory speed and the next graph illustrates this (Mantle was not enabled). Overclocking the memory from 1333MHz to 2133MHz improved our gaming scores by up to 30 percent.

The AMD sample system was equipped with 16GB of RAM, but frankly 8GB is enough for a system based on this particular APU. You can allocate up to 2GB for the GPU, but there’s really no need to. We carried out a few tests with 2GB of memory set aside for the GPU and the results proved that 1GB is enough for the on-die R7 GPU.
