RX 550 vs A10-7890K APU Frame Time Analysis - WRC 6 [RALLY DE PORTUGAL]
The 6th round of the World Rally Championship is already underway in Portugal as we benchmark AMD's strongest Kaveri / Godavari APU against the RX 550, the smallest SKU of Polaris in WRC 6. We tackle the Fafe Power Stage of the rally behind the wheel of Thierry Neuville's Hyundai i20 WRC in 720p and medium quality preset.
The A10-7890K was able to produce great frame rates on the fast and flowing gravel stages of Portugal, but it's clear that the RX 550 is racing in a different league - the dGPU can easily handle higher resolutions.
