Been brainstorming a new PC to build lately. So i wanted to take in consideration of SL into the build and the AMD A10-7850K is really appealing as an all in one cpu/gpu processor, as to compare me building a intel CPU / nvidia GPU counter build. Price on the APU adds up to be about 75$/75$ if i look at the split costs. i know this APU runs 1080p on some latest game titles BF4 stuff like that at 40FPS/high settings with 8 gb of DDR3 1866 Ram (deminishing returns for ram of higher clock speeds).
last time i discussed an AMD Grpahics based PC was when a friend of mine with a Radeon 5870 was having shadow glitching and mesh wasnt rezzing in right. On the other hand i do know somone running a HD6450 that has no issues with SL, in fact theirs performs better than my nvidia GT610 rig(i get allot of crashing due to memory running out issues even though its a 1gb card) so I want to know if anyone is running a AMD apu, even the lower end ones if it runs ok for you in SL.

Do the new AMD APU's play well in SL?
