ASUS F1A75-M Pro AMD APU Motherboard Review

ASUS F1A75-M Pro IGP directx 9 Performance

The ASUS F1A75-M Pro had some extremely playable framerates in Total War: Shogun 2 at both resolutions that we tested. At 1280×1024 the A8-3850 APU was able to crank out 56.15 frames per second while the Intel Core i5 2500k was only 23.07 frames per second. The F1A75-M Pro and the A8-3850 out performed the 2500k by 143.4%! Cranking up the resolution to 1920×1080 the ASUS F1A75-M Pro was still playable with 37.98 frames per second while the Core i7 2500k system averaged just over 15 frames per second. That is a difference of 151% at 1920×1080!

Batman Arkham Asylum tells us a tale very similar to Total War: Shogun 2. At 1280×1024 the ASUS F1A75-M Pro with the AMD A8-3850 APU was able to average 51 frames per second while the ASUS P8Z68-V Pro and Intel Core i5 2500k averaged only 29 frames per second. At 1920×1080 the AMD APU system averaged 32 frames per second while the 2500k system averaged only 19 frames per second.
