Help choosing a PC

[T8rsalad]

I am stuck between getting a i5-5200u laptop or and a10 5745m. The i5 has a worse graphics card but not by much.

 

[PapaWood]

Can you send a link to both PC's please? Should make things easier to help you decide

I would pick this one.

1 - Bigger HDD
2 - More memory
3 - Cheaper
4 - GPU will work better than w/out GPU

Hope that helps, its my opinion that its a better buy. You get more for less.

Will the amd pc be able to run arma 3 at decent fps on lower settings.

 

[PapaWood]

On lower settings I think it will be decent especially because its not on integrated video.

 

[PapaWood]

It would run it better than the other option atleast.

 

[T8rsalad]

How about this?

That one still has integrated graphics, then the same memory and stuff, I would think it wouldn't be the better choice for gamining.

 

[T8rsalad]

So stick with the a10 PC?

 

[PapaWood]

I would because the of dedicated graphics card, will do more for you.

 

[T8rsalad]

But the i5 has a better benchmark number than the a10

 

[PapaWood]

on Video games? w/ integrated graphics?

 

[PapaWood]

you can link the benchmark your looking at, if it included a GPU that would be the better PC, unless you can find a i5 laptop with a GPU in your price range Then go with that.

Amd a10 benchmark

I5 benchmark
https/www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-4210U+%40+1.70GHz

 

[PapaWood]

I still standby my decision unless games aren't the main priority, then by all means go with the intel. Those benchmarks aren't going to mean so much when the Intel is doing the processing and running the graphics.

 

[T8rsalad]

OK then I will probably go with the amd a10

 

[PapaWood]

I do believe it will serve you well.

Is arma able to all 4 cores of the a10
