can I play Duke Nukem Forever with AMD Fusion APU alone without any discrete graphic card?
I am in midist of upgrading my desktop computer or getting a new laptop . I am looking at AMD Fusion APU and wondering if it is capable of enthusiast level gaming without any discrete graphic card required. I understand that AMD Fusion APU use Radeon 6xxx which I think is fast enough to handle enthusiast level gaming for the most part . I find it a little odd that AMD Fusion is not mentioned much in the gaming forums.

The AMD APU's are a poor man's alternative to a gaming setup.
Specifically, they are meant to be for people who only need fairly basic graphics for lower end games. Duke Nukem Forever is unfortunately, a bit out of the AMD Fusion's league, and unless you pair the Llano setup with a midde-class graphics card such as the Radeon 6670 (and use it in crossfire mode with the APU) you probably won't be able to play DNF at a reasonable framerate.
Also, if you ever intend to use a high end graphics card in the future, the AMD Fusion series will make very poor choices, because they bottleneck the higher end GPU's.
The Fusion APU's are not very powerful in terms of x86 performance -- in terms of computing power they are about as good as Athlon 2 x4's.
Different story for a laptop -- for laptops, AMD fusion makes sense.
But not for a desktop.

hi properly then it extremely is nearly ordinary selection for me. Now if i've got been you i might say infamous 2. Now it extremely is not via fact i think of its between the superb video games ever. Duke Nukem has its moments. yet i might say infamous via fact Duke Nukem isn't residing as much as the long wait. I quite have yet to play it myself yet as i pay attention from human beings the activity lacks something new, if it had come back in 2004 or something like that the activity may be sturdy. infamous 2 sounds like a thank you to pass. yet it extremely is basically me speaking. i might say attempt checking some movies of gameplay or something and notice which seems extra powerful.

has all the benchmarks and frame rate test you could imagine
just pick a graphics chipset and see what others have got for frame rates
