Hello Everyone,
Got an older machine I put together about nine years ago...
AMD phenom ll X6 1090T Black Edition 3.2GHz 8GB Ram
XFX Radeon RX4800 8GB Ram
700 watt psu
My son claims he's able to achieve a steady 60 fps playing Fortnite on the machine above.
Meanwhile he acquires a used computer from a friend...
AMD A10 7800 upgraded to 16MB Ram
Radeon RX 4600 2GB Ram
300 watt psu
So I tell him he can have my 4800 since I don't game anyway, and I'll stick the 4600 in my box. Only problem is the 300 watt psu in the A10 doesn't have the power cable hookup the 4800 requires. So I take it to my computer guy and he installs a 500 watt psu with the proper hookup for the bigger card. And he tells me the A10 system with the RX 4800 should perform a little better than what he was doing with my system. Not a lot better, just a little.
Well my son plays for a couple hours and tells me he was doing much better on my system(60 fps). The best he says he can do on the A10 is about 35 fps with settings turned down. Everyone tells me my old Phenom 6 core processor is old and outdated. So I'm wondering, is the 500 watt psu I had installed in the A10 enough power? Thanks
Jeff
