Ryzen 5 2400G Integrated Graphics Performance
Shadow of Mordor
The next title in our testing is a battle of system performance with the open world action-adventure title, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor (SoM for short). Produced by Monolith and using the LithTech Jupiter EX engine and numerous detail add-ons, SoM goes for detail and complexity.
The main story itself was written by the same writer as Red Dead Redemption, and it received Zero Punctuation’s Game of The Year in 2014.
The 2400G saw consistent gains in the average frame rate performance at each of the different frequencies tested while the 99th percentiles were somewhat arbitrary up until 1250 MHz and then again beyond.
F1 2017
Released in the same year as the title suggests, F1 2017 is the ninth variant of the franchise to be published and developed by Codemasters. The game is based around the F1 2017 season and has been and licensed by the sports official governing body, the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).
F1 2017 features all twenty racing circuits, all twenty drivers across ten teams and allows F1 fans to immerse themselves into the world of Formula One with a rather comprehensive world championship season mode.
While the average frames showed consistency from 1100 MHz to 1600 MHz on the integrated graphics core, the 99th percentile frames unfortunately didn’t give us the same results. The 99th percentiles came across a little irrational up until 1250 MHz with the iGPU set at 1500 MHz showing the biggest discretion. Everything else however seemed normal and is put down to an anomaly.
Total War: WARHAMMER 2
Not only is the Total War franchise one of the most popular real-time tactical strategy titles of all time, but Sega delve into multiple worlds such as the Roman Empire, Napoleonic era and even Attila the Hun, but more recently they nosedived into the world of Games Workshop via the WARHAMMER series.
Developers Creative Assembly have used their latest RTS battle title with the much talked about DirectX 12 API, just like the original version, Total War: WARHAMMER, so that this title can benefit from all the associated features that comes with it. The game itself is very CPU intensive and is capable of pushing any top end system to their limits.
In Total War: Warhammer 2 the average frame and 99th percentile performance displayed by the 2400G was consistently better through each of the 50 MHz straps on the iGPU. The performance on average frame rates from 1150 MHz to 1600 MHz marks a 5 FPS increase from the bottom frequency tested to the top. The 99th percentile frame rate performance was all over the place and was not consistent.

Sorry to be a dick Gavin, but...oignant
ˈpɔɪnjənt/Submit
adjective
evoking a keen sense of sadness or regret.
"a poignant reminder of the passing of time"
synonyms: touching, moving, sad, saddening, affecting, pitiful, piteous, pitiable, pathetic, sorrowful, mournful, tearful, wretched, miserable, bitter, painful, distressing, disturbing, heart-rending, heartbreaking, tear-jerking, plaintive, upsetting, tragic
"the father of the murder victim bade a poignant farewell to his son"
Its a sore point. I misused it similarly in a speech.

Good effort, but a shame temps not included.There is a suspicious pattern here.
On the 2400g at voltage bumped, 1600 gpu clock, it gets good results ... mostly. Its min frames are erratic and even lowered at times.
This could well be heat.
My take home, is that the Apu is so cool, its worth decent cooling and a low latency nvme system disk with a direct pci link to the cpu.
The apu seems a hit in the linux world, and that the apu is becoming a kind of default zen/vega platform - a target for some intimate apu driver tweaking.
Its fine wine indeed.

I am having trouble finding it, but was the memory overclocked as well or just the iGPU?piteq - Tuesday, October 2, 2018 - link
I was reluctant to buy any new graphics card because of the sick prices, so I'm keeping my (really) old Radeon HD 6790(-ish GPU, can't remember exactly - GPU-Z states it has Barts core and 1 GB DDR5, clocked at 900/1100 MHz, respectively). And it's paired with Ryzen 5 1600, on Asus Prime B350-Plus board. Do you think switching CPU to Ryzen 2400G would be some upgrade in the GPU area? I'd like to return to WoW and also play some newer, but not demanding titles. (Slightly slower CPU won't be much of an issue for me).neblogai - Wednesday, October 3, 2018 - link
It would be better for you to start looking for a new GPU- prices are getting good. RX570 for $150 would solve your problem better than switching to a 2400G.V900 - Thursday, October 4, 2018 - link
Just buy a used card, or a GT1030/1050.They're available for roughly what the 2400G costs, but will give you a much bigger GPU boost.

The video ads are starting to bother me now, darn.msroadkill612 - Wednesday, October 17, 2018 - link
OP. u misuse poignant in ur opening. It has a "sad" connotation.msroadkill612 - Wednesday, October 17, 2018 - link
Heresy, given the curiously zealous loyalty folks have to sata ssd over clearly very superior nvme, but it would not surprise me if the HDD era SATA interface & even greater lag of the chipset the SATA ports run off, added some significant random delays by gaming standards.There is no comparison in; iops, processing overhead and access times.
I am sure I have seen reviews where they don't even state the test rig's SSD details.
