**AMD Ryzen 5300 Review: A Surprising Gaming Performer**

In this review, we'll be putting the AMD Ryzen 5300 through its paces in various games to see how it performs and whether it's a viable option for gaming enthusiasts.

First off, let's talk about the power consumption of this GPU. We're running at 1080p medium settings and averaging around 100 frames per second, which is a pretty solid showing for a GPU with this kind of power draw. The maximum utilization on the GPU was around 75 watts, which is impressive considering the performance we're seeing.

Next up, let's see how it performs in some more demanding games. We've got Cyberpunk running at low settings at 1080p, and while it's not a huge frame rate, it's still playable with a decent crowd going on. The utilization on the GPU remains below 75 watts, which is pretty cool.

Now, let's compare this to an RX 580, which is a more powerful GPU with over double the frame buffer. While the 5300 is way closer to the 580 than we were expecting, the RX 580 is drawing significantly more power while gaming than the RX 5300. In terms of efficiency, the 5300 is definitely a step up.

But what's really interesting is how it compares to the GTX 1650, which is one of the most powerful non-supplemental power graphics cards you can get. While the 5300 had a higher average frame rate in some games, the GTX 1650 actually had a higher one percent low, leading to a smoother feeling gaming experience.

Finally, let's talk about overclocking. We were able to get a reasonable overclock out of the GPU using MSI Afterburner, but it didn't result in much better performance. The average frame rates remained pretty much within the margin of error, but the one percent lows improved significantly, which suggests that the three gig frame buffer is still our main problem here.

Overall, while the AMD Ryzen 5300 doesn't particularly blow us away with its gaming performance, it's not a bad GPU either. It does what a graphics card is supposed to do, and at around $130, it would be a pretty good value if it were available today.

So there you have it – our review of the AMD Ryzen 5300. Let us know in the comments down below what you think of this GPU and whether you'd consider buying one if it were available for a hundred and thirty bucks!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis gangrenous green little graphics card is amd's long-lost budget gaming gpu it's called the rx 5300 and it was only ever launched in oem form which means you can only buy one of these as like a growth on the inside of an entry-level alienware system it's a bit weird that this is growing on the inside of an alienware but that's besides the point what we're gonna do in today's video is we're gonna prod this little bad boy a bit and see what happens but first a word from today's video sponsor today's video is sponsored by leno lenode is a linux-based web hosting service which according to g2 is the easiest infrastructure is service provider to use the node offers a wide variety of products including web hosting game server hosting they can handle any computational load you throw at them lenode also offers kubernetes solutions using k8 with horizontal cluster auto scaling that sounds very fancy in other news lenode also recently upgraded their block storage volumes with nvme drives which means you can get a huge speed upgrade at no extra cost if the node sounds good to you use the link in my description below to sign up for a 60-day hundred dollar free cred now this rx 5300 was launched back in may of 2020 so it's quite an old little card but because it was only launched as a gpu for like terrible oem prebuilts it's quite a rare little beast now it is a seven nanometer gpu based on the navi 14 graphics processor and its specs are just they look like that the only thing that really stands out to me out of all of that is the frame buffer this gpu only has three gigs of video memory it's gtddr6 but it's it's only three gigs back when the three gig version of the 1060 was launched in like 1912 people were like whoa that's not enough video memory so that's probably gonna be a bit of a limitation to this graphics card's performance now in terms of power the gpu has a single six pin and it's got a rated tdp of about a hundred watts but in practice it draws quite a bit less than that so it's not a particularly power hungry gpu interestingly tech powerup actually lists the launch msrp of this gpu at 130 which i find a bit of a weird thing because you could never buy it is that the price that the oem pays for the card or is that kind of where it's supposed to slot in price-wise like i don't think i understand what that msrp is supposed to mean for this card to be honest but with that let's have a closer look at this rare specimen by taking off the cooler and having a bit of a peek at the gpu underneath now this pcb is about as interesting as a quarterly tax submission form there's not a whole lot going on here although if you have a closer look you can see that there are a couple of blank spaces on the pcb for like additional power phases some additional memory modules and even an additional display port which makes me think that they use the same pcb for like the oem version of the rx 5500 but yeah other than that the the gpu looks quite similar to a polaris gpu actually anyway with that let's put the cooler back on drop it into a system and see how this rx 5300 performs in some games now this is always the case we're starting off with gta 5. this is running at high settings with two times msaa we're averaging at about 100 frames per second here and uh what's really impressive is the power draw which has not gone above 69 watts which means that we wouldn't technically need that six pin that we have in there whoa this gpu kind of shreds at fortnight uh we are running at 1080p competitive settings so it's everything on low with epic draw distance and when you're looking off into the distance it gets close to 100 frames per second so it does drop down a bit but yeah this is a solid fortnite experience finally found a gun now when it comes to battlefield v uh again with about a hundred percent utilization on the gpu we're still sitting under that 75 watt barrier it did occasionally jump into about 76 watts but yeah that's that's pretty impressive here we're running at 1080p medium settings and we're averaging around 100 frames per second which this is a pretty solid showing for a gpu with this kind of power draw so it's pretty cool so here we have cyberpunk running uh this is low settings at 1080p and i mean this is this is playable we've got it's it's in the 50s but still this is decent we've got a thick crowd going on here and uh yeah we're still sitting below that 75 watt utilization which i think is really cool so yeah not too bad and considering the power draw uh yeah that's that's reasonably impressive but we definitely do have to compare it to something so let's drop in an rx 580 into this test bed and see how this 5300 stacks up to one of its older brothers the rx 580 is a more powerful gpu it's got more than double the frame buffer and and it's just a better gaming experience with that much older graphics card although the 5300 is way closer to the 580 than i was expecting and the rx 580 is drawing significantly more power while gaming than the rx 5300 so in terms of efficiency the 5300 is definitely a step up uh but that actually got me thinking we're hovering at a max of about 75 watts which means this kind of competes with the gtx 1650 because you know that's one of the most powerful uh non-supplemental power graphics cards that you can get so let's see how it stacks up to that it's a little bit better than the gtx 1650 aside from battlefield 5 the 5300 didn't have a huge lead in any of the games which is probably why amd proudly uses battlefield 5 in the marketing material for the 5300 but funnily enough despite the 5300s higher average frame rate the gtx 1650 actually had a higher one percent low in a lot of these games which led to a smoother feeling gaming experience but there is a final thing that i want to try out before we finish off this video which is overclocking now i almost didn't even bother with overclocking this gpu because in my opinion the main shift to the achilles tendons of its gaming performance is that 3 gig frame buffer and i didn't think overclocking it was gonna help much but then i saw a curve editor in msi afterburner which got me got me excited i was able to get a reasonable overclock out of the gpu in msi afterburner i could go from a base core frequency of 1750 to 1950 and in terms of memory clock i could go from 1750 to 1860 which was maxing out the slider and i didn't have any stability issues after adding a little bit more voltage on the card however in terms of performance oh yeah that's not much better is it in terms of averages were pretty much just within the margin of error however the 1 lows are quite a lot better which again makes me feel like that three gig frame buffer is or is our main problem here so the overclocking was about as fruitful as i was expecting and with all of that being said um it's a graphics card it does graphics card things not particularly better than other graphics cards but you know it's it's fun let me know in the comment section down below what you think of this rx 5300 and if you're very sad that you can't buy one i actually think that if it was actually available today for a hundred and thirty dollars it would sell very well because well i don't think you can buy a gt 10 30 these days for a hundred and thirty dollars although if it was available it wouldn't cost 130 dollars so i i guess it's all a moot point anyway whatever uh with that thank you very much for watching if you like the video like subscribe
