**Testing the Performance of an AMD Ryzen 4700G Mini-ITX Build**
The AMD Ryzen 4700G is one of the most powerful integrated GPUs available, and it was put to the test in this small form factor build. The goal was to see how well the 4700G would perform in various games and applications, despite not having a dedicated GPU.
**Forza Horizon 4 at 1080p Low Settings**
The first game tested was Forza Horizon 4, which is an arcade racer that requires a strong graphics card to run smoothly. However, with the integrated 4700G, the game still looked great and ran well. The average frame rate at 1080p low settings was 68 FPS, which is a respectable performance for a small form factor build.
**CS:GO at 1080p High Settings**
Next up was CS:GO, a popular multiplayer shooter that requires high-performance hardware to run smoothly. With the 4700G, the game ran well and maintained an average frame rate of 121 FPS at 1080p high settings. This is impressive performance for a small form factor build.
**Skyrim Special Edition at 1080p High Settings**
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition was also tested, and it proved to be a challenging game to run on the integrated GPU. However, with the 4700G, the game ran smoothly and maintained an average frame rate of 60 FPS at 1080p high settings.
**GTA V at 1080p Normal Settings**
Grand Theft Auto V was also tested, and it ran well with the 4700G. The average frame rate was 66 FPS at 1080p normal settings, which is a great performance for a small form factor build.
**Remastered at 1080p Low Settings**
The Remastered version of Skyrim was tested, and it proved to be a challenging game to run on the integrated GPU. However, with the 4700G, the game ran smoothly and maintained an average frame rate of 32 FPS at 1080p low settings.
**Doom Eternal at 1080p Low with Resolution Scaling**
Doom Eternal was tested with resolution scaling enabled, which helps to reduce the load on the integrated GPU. With the 4700G, the game ran well and maintained an average frame rate of 66 FPS.
**Cyberpunk 2077 at 720p Low Settings**
Finally, Cyberpunk 2077 was tested at 720p low settings, which is a significant reduction in resolution compared to the other games. However, with the 4700G, the game still ran well and maintained an average frame rate of 42 FPS.
**System Power Consumption**
The system power consumption was also tested, and it proved to be relatively low. At idle, the build consumed around 23 watts of power, which is impressive for a small form factor PC.
**Extreme Test: Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K Resolution with High Settings**
However, when running Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K resolution with high settings, the system consumed significantly more power. The average power consumption was around 79 watts, and the maximum power consumption reached up to 153 watts during an extreme test scenario.
**CPU Temperatures**
The CPU temperatures were also tested, and they proved to be relatively low. At idle, the temperature was around 36 degrees Celsius, which is impressive for a small form factor build. However, when running demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077, the temperature did rise to around 42 degrees Celsius.
**Noise Levels**
The noise levels were also tested, and they proved to be relatively low. At idle, the system was almost completely silent, but during gaming, the fans would kick in slightly to maintain a reasonable temperature.
**Conclusion**
Overall, the AMD Ryzen 4700G performed well in this small form factor build, despite not having a dedicated GPU. The system was able to handle demanding games like Forza Horizon 4 and CS:GO at high settings, while also running other applications smoothly. However, it's worth noting that extreme tests like Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K resolution with high settings will push the system to its limits and increase power consumption.
**Future Plans**
The author has plans to create a video showcasing emulation on this build, including playing games like Wii U and PS3 using an emulator. This will be a fun experiment to see how well the 4700G can handle demanding emulators and games.
**Building a Similar PC**
If you're interested in building a similar PC to this one, the author recommends using the AMD Ryzen 4700G as the CPU. It's one of the most powerful integrated GPUs available, and it will provide great performance for gaming and other applications. The author also recommends using a small form factor case like the In Win B1, which is designed specifically for compact builds.
**Conclusion**
In conclusion, the AMD Ryzen 4700G performed well in this small form factor build, despite not having a dedicated GPU. With its high clock speeds and integrated graphics, it's capable of handling demanding games and applications smoothly. However, extreme tests like Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K resolution with high settings will push the system to its limits and increase power consumption.
