Discrete GPU Gaming Tests

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.

(a-3) Chernobylite - 4K Low - Average FPS

No real change in Chernobylite.

(b-5) Civilization VI - 4K Min - Average FPS(b-6) Civilization VI - 4K Min - 95th Percentile

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.

(c-5) Deus Ex MD - 4K Min - Average FPS(c-6) Deus Ex MD - 4K Min - 95th Percentile

Deus Ex seems to come to an asymptotic limit, and while the 4000G APUs were behind the curve, the 5000G APUs are solidly there.

(e-5) Final Fantasy 15 - 4K Standard - Average FPS

All CPUs pretty much hit a limit in FF15 above and Far Cry 5 below.

(i-5) Far Cry 5 - 4K Low - Average FPS(i-6) Far Cry 5 - 4K Low - 95th Percentile

(k-5) Grand Theft Auto V - 4K Low - Average FPS(k-6) Grand Theft Auto V - 4K Low - 95th Percentile

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.

    The recent GPU driver additions were NOT for Rembrandt. My guess is that's from some as of yet unannounced custom/embedded part for a market/use case where die size is absolutely CRITICAL (the only reason to pick RDNA over RDNA 2 is raw transistor density), that we're seeing there. Rembrandt otoh has had explicitly "RDNA 2" based graphics IP literally since it very first appeared on leaked AMD roadmaps YEARS ago, and it's consistently stayed "RDNA 2" in every future appearance/leaked roadmap.

    In fact with AMD's penchant for copy-pastaing reusable IP blocks across as many different products as they can, the iGPU implementation on Rembrandt is likely to be EXTREMELY similar to what is currently seen on Van Gogh (in fact, it wouldn't surprise me at ALL if they end up just sharing the exact same 8CU RDNA 2 iGPU block wholesale).

    "Van Gogh is said to have eight compute units (CUs) per shader array with a 1 MB L2 cache while Rembrandt will have six CUs per shader array with 2 MB L2 cache, with the added cache possibly translating into improved gaming performance. It must be noted here that we still do not know the total number of CUs on the GPU, but rumors indicate up to 12 CUs for Rembrandt."

    These APU's have my exact use case. Upgrading my HTPC which has trouble with HEVC codec (YouTube 4K) that can easily play PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, Sega 32X/CD, etc, etc. Plus Space Engineers which none of my rigs can play at the moment. All done with the iGPU at 60+FPS or better , also some Xbox titles like Forza Horizon since I don't play on buying a Xbox X.

    Second use is server. WIth a couple of VM's but mostly containers. Maybe throw a GPU in their for renting out GPU. All those threads will allow lots of functional task to be done.

    AMDs APUs don't support GPU virtualization

    Not yet, no.

    Are you sure?

    Hush now! Ian was spilling Intel's newest acquisition plans..

    In addition to what Dan said above your table entitled, "Ryzen 5 APUs (65W)" Is completely wrong. The 5600G is a 6 core processor and I suspect some of the other entries are incorrect also.

    "The second part is a Ryzen 5 5600G, featuring six cores and sixteen threads, with a base frequency of 3.9 GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.6 GHz. "
    This sentence has suffered from some copy and pasting. 12 threads and 4.4 GHz boost.

    "However slow quad cores (like the 2400G still let you down."

    Missing closing parenthesis mark.
