Gaming performance with GTX 950
We're now looking at performance with a GeForce GTX 950 graphics card in situ. The card has been chosen deliberately because we'd expect to find something similar in a complete PC featuring either processor.
The upshot is that, following on the from the CPU-side results, the Intel chip's greater horsepower tells in the default 3DMark Fire Strike test.
Updating the games, we first run The Division at medium-quality settings. The game still looks good and while the Core i3-6100 offers a little more frame rate, the A10-7860K has little problem driving an acceptable graphics experience.
Star Wars Battlefront isn't as hard to render, meaning we jack up the quality to ultra levels. Again, the base processor, coupled with a GTX 950 OC card, is good enough for solid gaming at 1080p.
Repeating the experiment a third time and getting near-identical results, you needn't worry about the A10-7860K's ability to churn out lots of geometry for the graphics card to play with.
