Heatmap of bottleneck
During gameplay scenarios, your AMD PRO A12-8870 might not operate at its full potential due to the constraints imposed by the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition. In such cases, the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition may struggle to swiftly process and relay data, resulting in underutilization of the AMD PRO A12-8870. Therefore, the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition will be operating at its maximum capacity, leaving the AMD PRO A12-8870 capabilities untapped.
In the hierarchy of bottlenecks, a graphics card bottleneck is often considered less severe than a processor bottleneck. When a graphics card bottleneck occurs, the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition operates at its uppermost limits, thereby allowing you to extract the best performance possible from the card. This ensures that you benefit from the full scope of the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition features.
One distinct advantage of not maxing out the AMD PRO A12-8870 is the enhanced ability to efficiently manage other background tasks.
