Dragon Age Origins (ideal for higher-res monitor such as 2560x1440 though as lot of small text) Dishonored #1 (great game, ran well on my GTX680) Deus Ex GOTY (with Revision free mod in Steam) darksiders 1 and 2 (I'd avoid the 'deathinitive' Darksiders II as it's too demanding) Command and Conquer 3 (and red alert 3) earlier Call of Duty series such as COD4 Modern Warfare (I don't own later games like Ghosts) batman arkham asylum, arkham city (probably but avoid DX11/PhysX) GAMES that would probably run well when properly tweaked in the settings (for your system):

*It's hard to cram in a lot of advice here, but again there's lots of GREAT GAMES that aren't very demanding (some old, some new). A good rule of thumb is make sure the GPU and CPU is well over the minimum requirements. Focus on the FPS you want.įor some games you can force 'Adaptive VSYNC' in the NVidia control panel (make sure NVidia drivers are installed), then for 60Hz monitor tweak game settings so you hit 60FPS about 90% of the time (the other 10% it drops below and VSYNC auto turns off which causes screen tear but not added stutter).Īlso, avoid games that are too demanding for your system. You can go a long way with dropping shadows, anti-aliasing etc.

It's not bad for a budget build, but again it depends on what games you have.ģ) pretty sure the FX-8120 isn't compatible with that socket.įrankly, my advice is keep your system but TWEAK the game settings carefully rather than worry about finding 'bottlenecks' in your system. Yes, a better CPU (ideally Intel i7-7700K) would make a big difference in some games but it's also a lot more expensive.Ģ) Your APU's CPU (you don't use the iGPU in the APU) is probably similar to a slighly overclocked FX-4300.
