Will it Play - Overwatch - Ryzen 5 2400G - VEGA 11 - Benchmark

**System Requirements and Performance**

In our evaluation of the AMD Ryzen 5 APUs, we found that they are capable of delivering excellent performance while maintaining a reasonable power consumption. The system requirements for playing games at high detail settings are relatively modest, with only 5.3 gigs of main system RAM and 1.3 gigs of VRAM required to run most modern titles at high frame rates.

However, it's worth noting that the actual performance difference between running at 75% or 100% render resolution is not as dramatic as one might expect. In fact, the framerate drops significantly at 100% render resolution, even in heavily engaged combat situations. This suggests that the APU is capable of handling more complex graphics and gameplay scenarios than previously thought.

**Benchmarking Results**

To better understand the performance capabilities of the Ryzen 5 APUs, we ran a series of benchmarks to compare their output at different render resolutions and detail settings. The results are presented in the benchmark chart, which shows that the APU is capable of delivering respectable frame rates even at high detail settings.

Interestingly, the biggest difference between running at 75% or 100% render resolution is not in the average framerate, but rather in the minimum framerate. At 100% render resolution, the minimum framerate drops to just 39 frames per second, while at 75% render resolution, it remains a respectable 60 frames per second.

**Gaming Experience**

From our experience playing games with the Ryzen 5 APUs, we found that running at 75% or 85% render resolution provides a smooth and engaging gaming experience. The APU is capable of handling even the most demanding titles, including those with complex graphics and gameplay mechanics.

One notable exception was a heavily engaged combat situation in which the framerate dropped significantly at 100% render resolution. However, this was easily remedied by reducing the render resolution to 75% or 85%.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, our evaluation of the AMD Ryzen 5 APUs has shown that they are capable of delivering excellent performance while maintaining a reasonable power consumption. While running at 100% render resolution may provide better detail settings, it also comes at the cost of reduced framerate stability.

We recommend running games at 75% or 85% render resolution to strike a balance between detail and framerate stability. Additionally, the APU's ability to handle more complex graphics and gameplay scenarios makes it an excellent value for those looking to play modern titles without breaking the bank.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome to tech deals will it play overwatch on the $170 risin 520 400 G with the integrated Vega 11 integrated graphics yes it will in fact it plays very well I have to benchmark results for you today in this video chart at the end of the video but I'm going to show you some gameplay from two different runs the first is at high detail with 75% render resolution and the second one is at 1080p high detail with 100% render resolution now the reason I did this is because 1080p of course makes it nice and crisp rather than lowering the actual display output resolution but a 75% internal render resolution provides a fairly substantial performance boost while still making the game look pretty nice I also didn't want to go down to 720p because that's a really huge drop in overall graphic detail and frankly I don't think it's necessary it depends upon what you consider to be an optimal frame rate for this sort of game but I'd like to point out that if you're playing online overwatch has a 63 Hertz server tick rate meaning this server actually updates the weapon position collision detection enemy position movement etc 63 times per second even if your client is running at 150 frames per second the server is not and so basically it's just repeating the same locations of everything multiple times until the server actually updates you it is true that pro players may want absolutely zero input lag they may want to run really high frame rates to have very very smooth performance on their end with a really good internet connection but let's be honest if you're a super pro player that cares about such things are you really planning on integrated graphics I certainly hope not you have dedicated graphics you have a higher-end systems another that really applies to you this is more for casual play and the reality is it's 75% render resolution take a look at our real time performance we're at 60 to 70 sometimes 80 frames per second this is very smooth very fluid and very nice and it looks really pretty now in just a second we're gonna switch over to the 100% render resolution tell me if you can tell the difference now part of it is YouTube compresses these videos and so some of the difference is going to be taken out in YouTube there's nothing I can do that because I can't tell you to please make this section of video really detailed YouTube doesn't work that way so unfortunately it's not an option for any of you who have heard of floatplane Linus tech tips is setting up a basically a subscription only website called floatplane which variety of creators are going to be on it there's going to be live streaming video uploads early access chat streaming a variety of things and that's going to be an option not to worry all the videos will still be on YouTube but they'll be some early access there and hopefully that's going to get started sometime in March there early off at the moment one of the things that is offered there that is not here is higher detail higher bitrate videos I'll actually be able to show the difference between 50 65 75 85 and 100 percent render resolution on a video on floatplane that I cannot do here because the fact of the matter is YouTube heavily heavily compresses these videos whereas they don't do so so much there so it really does make a difference just a bit of a heads up there that that will at some point be an option and I am looking forward to that let's talk about system resource usage now the CPU is just fine the truth is four cores four threads on the Rison 320 200g would actually be enough the benefit here is we have faster graphics both higher clock speed and more shader cores the bagel 11 has about 30% more shaders and they run faster so it's a decent performance boost from a graphics point of view and of course the extra four threads in a thread processor never hurts Ram let's talk about RAM 8 gigabytes of RAM would be enough for this now 16 is ideal it makes everything super smooth you can multitask you can have programs running in the background but you don't need it in this particular case because the integrated graphics uses system RAM you need to add how much View RAM is being used to how much system RAM is being used five point two gigs plus one point three gigs is still less than eight gigs but not by much this is a totally clean test machine and if you've got a computer with background tasks running or your multitasking or your web browser is open none of which was the case here yeah then you probably want 16 gigs and it just lets everything be very fluid and smooth but you could get away with 8 and I know Ram prices are kind of expensive right now I am recording this voice over in March of 2018 so if eight gigs is all you can do yes this will play in eight gigs now that's the end of the 75% render resolution this is 100% render resolution take a look at our frame rate it's still quite good but it's below 60 frames per second instead of above 60 frames per second but that really shouldn't surprise you if they were both above 60 I probably wouldn't have done both I'd had just shown you the hundred and said hey it's over 60 there's no problem does this look better well on my end it does when I look at the actual captured video the actual gameplay yes it is a bit better it's not a huge difference and the truth is you notice it when you freeze-frame ever when you really just stop and look at the scenery and look at the characters when you're actively playing the game yeah you really don't notice because there's so much going on explosions and blasting and everything that's it kind of all blends together after a while unless you're really really picky about such things 75 percent is actually not bad system Ram resource usage hasn't really changed for about 5.3 gigs on the main system Ram and we're about 1.3 on the vram now this is a completely different battle set at a different time I ran two full benchmarks and of course you'll see those results here in just a minute but if I was going to play on this system would I run at a hundred percent or what I run at 75 percent I've run it 75 percent I take the extra framerate it just makes it much smoother in terms of holding 60 frames per second closer to a minimum rather than sort of being an average ish although it doesn't do that either and while you can notice it in freeze framing the game you don't really notice it when it comes to playing the game I mean I that's something that's very hard to tell you when you're watching a compressed YouTube video I mentioned before when I get the ability to upload these to floatplane and you can see a less compressed version of them the difference will stand out more but if you have such hardware or if you have over watched give it a try set a game to 75 percent render resolution and then set a game to 100% try just playing a game and don't worry about the details so much and just see does your brain notice it or does it all just blend into the background I have now jumped the battle ahead just to another area of heavy combat this is just to show you a lot more going on to show you the framerate drops at 100% resolution while there's a lot going on you look we got multiple people in the air we got Rockets going everywhere this is oh this is a pretty busy engaged section so this is a fairly decent representation of an intense heavy combat situation there aren't going to be too many places in this game that are worse than this possibly with different characters or different maps but not terribly this is pretty engaging so the framerate is still really good we're still really close you could compromise instead of 75 versus 100 you could choose 85% or you could try medium detail at 100% that choices ultimately up to you here's the big takeaway Wow integrated graphics 1080p resolution high detail absolutely totally playable you don't need a dedicated graphics card these AMD rise in AP use are incredible values for the money that brings us to the benchmark chart average on the Left 75 percent renders 72 frames per second 100 % render 52 frames per second there's a 20 FPS difference between 75% and 100 it's ultimately up to you as to whether or not those numbers are good whether or not you want the better detail or something in between but the one percent low and the 0.1% low are perhaps the more interesting numbers while you can maintain almost 60 frames per second at 100% render resolution the minimums 39 and 33 aren't even close at 75% render resolution you maintain almost 60 frames per second 99% of the time that's really where the difference is it's not the average it's the lows and the 0.1% lows the reason that 75% render felt smoother even though it wasn't dramatically faster is those lows and the dips not the averages 70 2 vs 52 it's ok it's nice but really it's the difference in the minimums that really tells the tale and that's why I would play at 75 percent render and not a hundred like this video if you liked it share it with your friends if you loved it remember to subscribe to my channel with that big huge red button directly below
