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.

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
