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.

Thanks for the correction. That was a real head-scratcher!msroadkill612 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Under the table on p1"The top part is a Ryzen 7 5700G, featuring eight cores and sixteen threads, with a base frequency of 3.8 GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.6 GHz. The Vega 8 graphics runs at 2000 MHz, and we get 16 lanes of PCIe 3.0 for graphics, plus another four for storage."
Not so -AFAIK - all apus have 8 lanes for the graphics pcie slot.
anand made the same mistake on a previous apu review as i recall. its very misleading.

The 4000G series have 16 lanes and so do these, it was not misleading at all as far as I can tell.Fulljack - Friday, August 6, 2021 - link
nope, the connection to GPU were different according to the package. any APUs packaged on AM4 will have x16 PCIe 3.0 connection—always has been since Raven Ridge.for laptop, FP6 and previous package were limited to x8 PCIe 3.0 connection for the GPU.

will have to wait for 6000G, since this has old ass graphics with no AV1 decoding support. Enjoy your choppy 4k/8k videonandnandnand - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
~2x graphics performance, AV1 decode, DDR5, PCIe 4.0, USB4, and possibly a Zen 3+ IPC increase.GreenReaper - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Yeah... they're good CPUs, but not the one to get if you're buying something to use for the next decade.GeoffreyA - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Possibly the best for AM4 folk that want an APU.GeoffreyA - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Can't comment on 8K, but 4K runs smoothly even on an old 2200G.pman6 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
not 4k60 AV1 it doesn't. Or it uses a lot of cpu resources
