4K Minimum with RTX 2080 Ti
By contrast to 1080p Max, our 4K Minimum testing aims at finding differences between CPUs at a playable resolution. There is still pixels to churn, but the 2080 Ti should at least be hitting 60 FPS in most games here.
A full list of results at various resolutions and settings can be found in our Benchmark Database.
No real change in Chernobylite.
Civilization 6 gets a smaller increase in performance here than the 1080p Maximum test, but there's still a benefit over the previous generation. That being said, the AMD desktop CPUs with more cache pull ahead a lot here.
Deus Ex seems to come to an asymptotic limit, and while the 4000G APUs were behind the curve, the 5000G APUs are solidly there.
All CPUs pretty much hit a limit in FF15 above and Far Cry 5 below.
GTA 5 hits an odd glitchy mess around 180 FPS, and the new 5000G CPUs can push the RTX 2080 Ti in that direction a bit further - at this point it's probably best to start cranking up some detail to avoid it.

Yes, great follow-up article, that.nemi2 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Does anyone know if these 5x00G support 4k HDR, VVR, at 120Hz? I see some B550 MB advertise HDMI 2.1id4andrei - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
An overclocking section would be nice, with a focus on the iGPU only.Gasaraki88 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
I'm worried about the performance of the Steam Deck.nandnandnand - Saturday, August 7, 2021 - link

Steam Deck uses the much faster LPDDR5-5500 RAM and much powerful RDNA2 iGPU.mode_13h - Tuesday, August 10, 2021 - link
Yeah, but its iGPU is still 8 CUs. I think it's telling they went with 1280x800 resolution. Probably enough for a screen that size, and framerates are reportedly good.I do kinda wish they'd gone with a bigger iGPU, but maybe silicon prices these days pushed too hard against that. I think their goal should be to counter a plausible next-gen Nintendo Switch, and I'm not confident they got there.
Unlike Sony & MS, Valve can't afford to sell the hardware at a loss. The upside of that is that Valve isn't making it a walled garden. So, you should be able to load and run non-Steam software on it!

Compared to everything else in that form factor, it should be great. You probably won't be able to run most modern games at High and hit a solid 60FPS, or perhaps even 30FPS. But Medium might work. Meanwhile the competition is on Low with a few extra tweaks, and running games specifically designed for it (and likely costing a lot more). Heck, you might even be able to emulate them.The_Assimilator - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Way too expensive, especially when you consider these chips lose out on PCIe 4.0 and are still using the ancient and terrible Vega.pman6 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
i've used a prebuilt 5700G system, and for some reason, the Intel rocket lake runs smoother in certain applications like stock trading and java based apps.The only downside is that Intel is a power hog
