choice is AMD Radeon Memory as it is equipped with A.M.P. (AMD Memory Profiles) to facilitate the best
possible performance.
GRAPHICS CARD
For maximum gaming performance, AMD recommends pairing an FX 9000 series processor with an
AMD Radeon R9 series graphics card or comparable Nvidia graphics card.
