AMD A10-7850K Radeon R7 Graphics Comparison

With the higher quality settings in Xonotic the GeForce GT 240 had pulled back enough that it was delivering close to comparable performance with the APU's Radeon R7 Graphics.

Of the handful of low and mid-range graphics cards tested, the A10-7850K "Kaveri" APU with Radeon R7 Graphics was most often comparable to NVIDIA's GeForce GT 240 graphics card. The GT 240 is no longer being sold but it was NVIDIA's $50 USD graphics card. The Kaveri graphics did much better than the Radeon HD 6450 and GeForce GT 520 low-end graphics cards. In this comparison the A10-7850K graphics aren't too incredibly convincing if you're doing any frequent gaming, but is certainly enough to make pleasant use of a hardware-accelerated desktop and video acceleration. For the native Linux games tested the A10-7850K was at least generally pushing above 60 frames per second at 1920 x 1080.

Up next will likely be OpenCL benchmark results, a comparison against the A10-6800K Richland APU, and other open-source Linux performance data.
