**The Power of Integrated Graphics: A Test with the New RDNA 2 APUs**

As we approach the release of new integrated graphics processing units (IGPUs) from AMD, manufacturers are eager to showcase their capabilities. In this article, we'll explore the performance of a new RDNA 2 IGPU in various scenarios, including 4K gaming and 1440p balance scaling.

We're currently running at low settings, utilizing integrated graphics, but the results are impressive nonetheless. To see this running at 4K on an IGPU over 60 FPS is absolutely amazing. I mean these little APUs are definitely going to be a game changer for many PCs soon as we start seeing them come to the market.

The way I have it set up right now is at 75 watts, and in the last video I created just showing off some 1080p performance from this new IGPU, we're at 35 watts and it's great for 1080p gaming. Keeps those thermals down, battery life's pretty decent. But I had a lot of people ask me to go ahead and max this thing out and see what it could really do.

As you can see here, this is running Forza Horizon 5 at 4K, given we're at low settings with rendering resolution set to performance, but we're getting an average of 63 FPS. There's no way that the older Vega IGPUs could ever think about doing this. It's hard pressed to run this at 1080p with a low-medium mix; we're right over 60 with those old Vega 8s with a little bit of an overclock, but on these new RDNA 2 IGPUs, you can see we can run this at 4K.

What I want to do now is just go into the settings and keep this at 4K, but change it to high settings with Forza Horizon 5. We can actually lock that frame rate at 30 or 60, and at high settings 4K even with performance rendering resolution on it's not going to run it at 60. But I'm pretty sure we could get a steady 30 out of it.

And i completely understand that a lot of people just want to run this at 60 so with a little IGPU like this, go down to 1080p and you're getting an average of around 83 to 84 FPS but keep in mind the Xbox Series S does have a 4K setting and when it's running on that unit it only runs at 30 FPS.

We'll head over to settings and show you that we're still at 4K from the video settings got that unlocked frame rate and our resolution scaling is still set to performance but from our preset we're at high settings so let's go ahead and see what it can do. Like this and uh yeah, we're pulling around 60 watts from that APU say a little under 30 over 35 though had a nice little drop there so yeah I knew it wasn't going to do 60 4k high settings but we are over 30 and even with that little drop we just saw it only went to 30 so if we did lock it at 30 FPS from the settings, we could play this at a constant 30.

So I'm going to go ahead and set that up; we'll just go back to settings and from video, we're going to go to balanced instead of performance. We'll turn vsync on at 30 FPS and we should be good to go. I know it's not going to come across you know as good as it looks to the naked eye; I'm filming the screen here then it's uploaded to YouTube but it really does look very very good.

Now, I would rather be playing at 60 and I wouldn't mind dropping this down to 1080p but to see these new IGPU's doing 4k with a new AAA game like this is really really awesome. So yeah, I can't wait until the desktop bearings of these new RDNA 2 GPUs come out or we see some mini PCs powered by one of these chips; I mean we're going to get some really powerful mini PCs.

**1440p Balance Scaling Test**

I know I'm going to have some people asking about it, so I figured I'd go ahead and test that 1440p balance scaling. And we're at medium settings; it's not bad at all. So we do get some dips under 60 but again we're still at balanced if we went down to performance we could get a constant 60 at 1440p on an IGPU.

That's going to wrap it up for this one. I really appreciate you watching; I had a few people asking about running this at 4K at the maximum TDP and this is as high as I can go with this setup here, but you know if you're interested in checking out just the overall performance of these new IGPU's please let me know.

In conclusion, the new RDNA 2 integrated graphics processing units are capable of impressive performance, even when running at low power settings. As we move forward, it will be exciting to see how these APUs perform in various scenarios and applications.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's going on everybody it's eta prime back here again this is going to be kind of a short video but i did want to get this out of the way because recently i got my hands on a new 6000 series ryzen apu it's a mobile variant with the new integrated rdna ii graphics it's actually known as the 680m we've got 12 ceus up to 2400 megahertz and in this video i want to show you how well it runs forza horizon 5 at 4k so the laptop i have here is the g14 it's an expensive laptop it does have a dedicated gpu but i've totally disabled it it was the only unit that i could buy at the time with the 6000 series apu and these new integrated graphics so from the settings here you can see that we're at 4k i do have the rendering resolution set to performance and we're at low settings remember i mean these are integrated graphics but to see this running at 4k on an igpu over 60fps is absolutely amazing i mean these little apus are definitely going to be a game

watts for 1080p gaming check out my first video link for that is in the description if you want to see anything else running on this new rdna 2 apu just let me know in the comments below like always
