Hardware

Has anyone played Swtor with an AMD APU?

My comp crapped out during my move to my new apt. I replaced a bunch of parts on it and decided to try out an A10-7870 apu. I havent played it yet b/c I had to go out of town, for a month, pretty much right when my parts came in the mail. So I am a little anxious to see how it plays this game. Ill have some 2666mhz ddr3 ram btw.

I am also waffling between a new build and an engagement ring. So my gf gets either a computer or a ring.

Hey man, glad you are still around!
So I have no experience with amd apus and swtor (ditched amd a very long time ago).
But from what I've read everything should work, but swtor is also CPU and a mem hogger.
Also the amd apus need the fastest ddr3 ram you can get, to improve the graphics side. Still in the end I can't give you experienced feedback with that hardware.
So what GF do you have, one that games alot or watches shows like getting married / high life and what not?
My wife was from the latter so all moneys went to the ring haha
No ring and asking for marriage is a no no

Sweet!! You have not abandoned us..er..yet! lol
hahaha - rings are so overrated. But that is what society dictates I guess.
As a woman I would strongly advice you against the computer idea LOL LOL.
Of course I would've preferred a computer but only if it came with a guaranteed upgrade with an option to buy a new one every 6 months. Oh, talking about the computer there...then again...

The APU's are rather competent in my experience, though keep in mind SWTOR only really cares about single core performance, and per core, Intels usually deliver more than AMDs do.
