On that 512 stream processor iGPU with DDR3 1600, I have been wondering if certain settings are harder on memory bandwidth compared to GPU processing power.

Here is a thread I made last year in an attempt to optimize the GPU setting when low memory bandwidth is present:

Any opinions on the best way to set-up graphics till we get something better from AMD?

Thanks.

Ideally, It would also be great if I could find an article looking at optimized settings for APUs @ DDR3 1600. Which graphics settings hurt frame rates the most and which do not? And by how much?

I think this is pertinent for at least two reasons:

1. All the A10 Pre-built Desktops from Lenovo, Dell, Acer (etc) come with DDR3 1600.

2. As a budget DIY enthusiast, I've noticed sale priced DDR3 (or bundled DDR3) is usually 1600 speed.
