Would it be good for FPS gaming?

Absolutely not! It will fall apart. In a matter of weeks. Check out the Stinky foot board. Cost a bit more, but it's well built.

I have not tried this board for gaming specifically. But I did try Team Fortress 2 for linux using this board and got very playable framerates with little skipping using the A8-5600K processor's GPU. If you used a discreet GPU, this board would be fine. However, you probably won't be using the APU of what you slot on this motherboard to the fullest.

Well, I am a gamer myself and this isn't the best one for it. I can play minecraft on it with about 15 fps. So this may not be the one. But a Asus K55N can run most shooters, MMOs, and other with medium graphics at the minnimum

It's only a fair gaming machine. While the processor is powerful, it's slow by today's standards. I think you would be frustrated with the games your are looking at.

Long as you have a desktop pc with an available slot. Be warned though that this isnt ideal for pc gaming of thats what you plan to do. I barley got 20 fps on DayZ Standalone.

For app gaming yes, for hardcore gaming like battlefield I wouldnt recommend because of the limitations of the CPU.

It will probably not deliver the best playing experience or the fps you would want, unless you added extra RAM and a dedicated GPU.

It's fast, but if you are looking at it for gaming, probably not the best processor. I don't know the exact CPU speed or MIPS.

I would not recommend it for gaming. When mine was working the response time was too slow to be used for quick input. My Sharkk mouse

I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. I ran a few games on our computer setup, and they ran much slower than an older computer using a quad core processor. I use it in an HTPC. Most of the tasks are done one at a time, so the dual core works fine. It is fast for light duty applications, but games aren't light duty.

It's great for gaming. Best computer on the market right now for the price point it's at.

It most likely performs well with games that don't require too much video RAM. But intense games that use or depend on the the video GPU would run sluggish. Try to look for a laptop with at least an i5 (dual core) or i7 (quad) processor. As well with dedicated video RAM (GPU) w/at least 1GIG.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm.i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

I would count on it to run CS:GO so so but BF and COD is doubtful, especially BF. I bought this for my girl that just likes to surf the net and do Facebook stuff. I wouldn't spend the money on this for gaming. You would need something beefier with better cpu and graphics. I have a PC I built specifically for gaming so I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable about this topic.

Yes, it works perfect for gaming. I have this pc with 8 GB of Memory and it run games perfect... Joe

Actually, surprisingly good. Although, what you'll really want to partner with this is a good GPU... unless you're planning on focusing more on CPU intensive games like WoW, then you'll be okay with a middle of the road GPU. I've been playing Titanfall, Assassins Creed: Black flag, BF4, (as well as some older titles) and my fps is definitely playable and pleasing to the eyes (running everything 1080p and maxed settings). I have this CPU partnered with a GTX 760 2GB... soon to be an SLI setup. Hope that helps!

It can handle games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft etc. not all on high settings.
