Hello! Hope you're having a great day/night!
I've got a few questions about my A8-7600.
Question 1: I've noticed that the maximum frequency it reaches is 3.66 GHz, while its specifications say the turbo is to 3.8 GHz. Is the cause of this the enabled iGPU (integrated graphics)? I'm planning on buying a dedicated GPU and I'd need more power from my CPU for today's games. Will it get unlocked and be able to reach 3.8 GHz once its iGPU is disabled? The iGPU takes some frequency I suppose?
Question 2: turning off the iGPU will take some load off the CPU, right? Will its performance increase as it's gonna have its full cache and possibly frequency?
Question 3: The GPU I'm thinking of buying is GTX 1050 Ti (yes, I know CPU is gonna bottleneck but I might upgrade it in future). I'm worried about drivers and stuff like this. Is it how I think it is?:
Uninstall the current AMD drivers for the APU with Driver Sweeper > shut down PC > put GPU in > turn on > install its drivers from Nvidia's website > enjoy my life.
The iGPU should disable as soon as there's a dedicated GPU, right? So I suppose I won't need the drivers anymore? Should I remove them or keep the AMD drivers even with the iGPU disabled?
Looking forward for some answers!
Have a nice day/night!
