Finding 60+ FPS
Never mind 30 frames per second, if we want gaming to be smooth, we look for true 60 FPS gaming. It's going to be a benchmark for any integrated graphics solution, but one question is if games are getting more difficult to render faster than integrated graphics is improving. Given how we used to talk about 30-40 FPS on integrated graphics before Ryzen, it stands to reason that the base requirements of games is only ever getting worse. To meet that need, we need processors with a good level of integrated oomph.
So here are a series of our tests that meet that mark. Unfortunately most of them are 720p Low (or worse).
A full list of results at various resolutions and settings can be found in our Benchmark Database.
These last couple of games here, World of Tanks and CS:Source are getting on in age a bit. Playing at 1080p High/Max on both is easily done, but we cranked Source up to 4K and we're not even getting 60 frames per second. The previous generation R7 even beat out the new APUs here, probably indicating that the previous generation had more power going into the GPU and the new models are balanced towards the CPU cores a bit more. It works in some games clearly, and 1080p resolutions, but not here at 4K.

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
