AMD A4 3400 APU Review

Unigine Heaven Benchmark is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on advanced UNIGINE™ engine. It reveals the enchanting magic of floating islands, with a tiny village hidden in the cloudy skies. Interactive mode provides emerging experience of exploring the intricate world of Steampunk.

It was the first DirectX 11 benchmark released, the original version being released at the time of the launch of Microsoft Windows 7 October, 2009.

This benchmark was completed with the default settings determined by the application upon loading.  The default settings are below.

Although the framerate of the APU alone left a little to be desired, I believe that it was let down more by the lack of of video memory especially at high definition resolutions. With the addition of the 1Gb 6450, the framerate improved considerably and the maximum FPS almost doubled from 12.9 to 22.3 frames per second.

FSP AE36 AIO CPU Cooler Review

It's a cheap AIO from a power supply company, but is it worth buying?

  1. £50 for the cpu and £50 for the gigabyte mobo is pretty good isnt it ? id always been put off bying a system like this for my tv as the motherboards were often well over £100 even if the processors were cheap.

    im tempted now. shall try and talk my credit card into accepting the charge.

  2. Nice setup on Dabs for these, makes it easier to work out where to get the bits,

    only thing is, they should have made some complete systems with memory, power supply etc, took a few quid from them. would have worked a lot better. seems a bit ‘half assed’ having a page with the A4’s and motherboards and nothing else. these are ideal for students who maybe need the help

  3. Hybrid crossfire has always sucked, glad to see it hasnt gotten better all of a sudden.

    not a bad deal for the price, but its probably slow as molasses for a work machine. Adding a cheap SSD might help.

  4. Im curious, can it be overclocked?

  5. its pretty good value for money. Not sure id want one, but would be good for a server system

  6. I have that proc. and Gigabyte MB and i am very satisfied with that. Plus i got Ati Saphyre graphic card with 1 GB. As it was said, it is really good for lite gaming, and very cheap. And @Brian, yes it can be overclocked! 🙂

  7. Is there such a thing as an intel atom quad core? The 6450 is pretty puny so really adds not very much except heat and cost. A 6670 or better would kick things up a notch/
