"less than 20 FPS - a slideshow" - this is how I played most of the games between 1997 - 2001 and really didn't care about the framerate, I was just enjoying the game, the storyline :-)

Still rocking an AMD A10-6800k @4.8ghz. Originally bought a Radeon 6670 to do hybrid crossfire and didn't last long. Rocking an Asus Nvidia 960 and it's alright til this day. Will upgrade to a whole new system in a year or so but for now it works for any game I like.

There's no friday without PCL friday video! I really like these older APU and part videos, so much content of new parts already so nice to see how older stuff still works :D

[threadthathasnoend]

I've had one of these running in the PC I built for my parents since it was new. Great chip.

[UncommonKnowledge]

This processor released a year after my A6 3500 (on FM1). Good to see this old tech being discussed.

[Matlockization]

Enjoyed your explanation of installing problem drivers for this APU. Quiet an enjoyable video.

a net cafe i built for a client just when this thing released was a succes, since this could run the Most played games at the time (league of legends and cs go) the net cafe saved a considerable amount of money, later down the path, we just added nvidias 750ti and its still rolling making huge profits with a small intial inversion. we're going to refurb the pcs with R5 3400Gs down this year, APUs are amazing budget chips AMAZING!

Nice it still retains some sort of low end gaming. I built this pc in 2013 for customer and they wanted to sell it now. upgraded extra 4gb ram, added 120 gb ssd with new rgb keyboard mouse combo . Its up for sale now.

That extremely fast ddr3 ram is literally helping out this old beast

[helo]

when it performs better than intel's iGPUs

I love that you tested XP as well, thanks for that - keep up the good work

[danedewaard]

Thanks for this video! I'm running an AMD A8-5600K on Win10 as my daily driver!!! I'm not playing games, but I have not found it to be needy in any way. AMD Rocks it, baby!!!

I was the AMD A10-5800K APU to build my HTPC in 2013 it gets the job done still. I still have a A8-56600K new in the box.

My favorite channel by far! Great work!

[petergibbons]

Great one man. I really liked the driver troubleshooting. I'd love to see a recap of your most challenging build with more of it

Missed you last week Phil, mucked up my Friday routine

[KurNorock]

I used this APU for YEARS. Once I paired it with a GTX750TI I was able to play almost any game from Steam besides the triple A titles. But all the survival games like Ark, Minecraft, Raft, etc ran fine on medium to high settings.

I upgraded a few years ago and now I am considering using this old processor to build a dedicated game server.

Was wondering if you were going to upload today, and here we are. Great video, Phil. Keep it up! Cheers, mate.
