Is 1080p Max possible?
My goal for integrated graphics is for it to be suitable one day for 60 FPS gaming at 1080p maximum settings. At these settings, we're asking a lot of the graphics solution to do lots of compute, sometimes with memory bandwidth that just isn't there. A normal suite does a few of these 1080p Max tests, and the results are almost always dismal:
The short answer is no. You're lucky to break 10 or 20 FPS in most cases.
eSports are the obvious differentiation point, with CS:Source (an old favorite, don't @ me with CS:Go) showcasing almost 60 FPS at 4K High.
Note that on this 1080p High graph, it is interesting to see the frame rates increase over several generations of AMD Ryzen APUs, increasing 33% in frame rate from the first generation Ryzen 5 2400G.
The 4K variation shows the previous generation coming out ahead, and this was fairly consistent. This might be a case of where the power is going between CPU and GPU and the algorithm that determines where the workload should be.
Sometime we get odd scenarios such as this, when the previous generation gets slightly better results. Each result has some level of uncertainty, but even at this value, the're pretty much both unplayable.
A full list of results at various resolutions and settings can be found in our Benchmark Database.

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
