APU for gaming????

[gwoolly]

I just purchased this Processor and it has an APU (AMD A8-6600K Richland Quad-Core 3.9GHz Socket FM2 100W Desktop Processor - Black Edition AMD Radeon HD 8570D)... could I just use the APU for gaming on medium settings without using a graphics card? I'm on a budget.

Here's the link just in case

Depends what games you want to play and the settings you want to play them at.

For example Crysis 3 at 4K is a no no on an APU...

What is your overall budget?

My friend has that APU, and it can play games like DOTA 2, and WoW perfect, and even stuff like BF4, at 1080p on low settings. The more powerful APUs, can even play them on medium or high.
