Finally Testing The Ryzen 7000 Integrated Graphics... Can They Game

Elden Ring Performance Testing on 7600 XI GPU

A thorough performance test was conducted on the 7600 XI GPU, which is an integrated graphics solution found in various modern motherboards. The results indicate that this GPU struggles to maintain high frame rates, even with the lowest settings and FSR (Fast Synthesis Rendering) enabled. In Elden Ring, the lowest setting for 720p resulted in a smooth experience, but at a cost of sacrificing visual quality. However, even with the lowest settings, there were noticeable dips and drops, suggesting that this GPU is not suited for high-performance gaming.

In contrast to other games like Counter-Strike 2 or Apex Legends, where performance was relatively stable, Elden Ring proved to be more demanding on the 7600 XI GPU. The game's low textures and overall visual style may have contributed to its high system requirements, but it is clear that this GPU struggles to keep up. When FSR was enabled, the performance improved slightly, but not enough to alleviate the dips and drops that were present in the lowest settings.

Fortnite Performance on 7600 XI GPU

In Fortnite, the performance of the 7600 XI GPU was a mixed bag. When performance mode was enabled and the lowest settings were used with 80% 3D resolution, the game ran smoothly at an average frame rate of around 60 FPS. However, there were still some noticeable dips and drops, particularly when smoke effects or enemy players were on screen.

One possible solution to mitigate these dips is to enable FSR, but even with this feature enabled, performance remained relatively stable. It's worth noting that using 100% 3D resolution would have further improved performance, but at the cost of increased system heat and potentially more significant dips and drops.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Performance on 7600 XI GPU

In Red Dead Redemption 2, the 7600 XI GPU performed poorly, with a native 720p resolution and medium textures resulting in an average frame rate of around 31 FPS. The game's high system requirements were evident, even with performance mode enabled and the lowest settings used.

The FSR feature was not effective in this case, likely due to its limited compatibility on this GPU. As a result, the author chose to disable FSR and use native 720p resolution instead, which provided a smoother experience despite the reduced frame rate.

Comparing Performance to Other GPUs

While the performance of the 7600 XI GPU was disappointing, it's worth noting that other reviewers have been more critical of this chip. The author has not had much experience with 7,000 series chips in general, but they believe that these results are indicative of a larger issue with integrated graphics solutions on modern motherboards.

In comparison to older GPUs like the 3400G or Vega 3, the 7600 XI GPU appears to be less capable. However, it's also important to note that the strength of this GPU is heavily dependent on the CPU and motherboard combination. As such, further testing will be necessary to fully understand the capabilities and limitations of this integrated graphics solution.

Conclusion

The performance test conducted on the 7600 XI GPU revealed its limitations as a gaming-grade integrated graphics solution. While it's not necessarily "bad," it's clear that this chip struggles to maintain high frame rates, even with the lowest settings and FSR enabled. As such, users should exercise caution when considering this GPU for gaming applications.

In contrast to other GPUs like the 3400G or Vega 3, which offer more robust performance capabilities, the 7600 XI GPU is likely to be better suited for casual gaming, streaming, or general computing tasks. However, for those seeking high-performance gaming experiences, there may be better options available in the market.

Thanks for watching, and we'll see you in the next article!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everyone and welcome to another video now amd's integrated Graphics have traditionally been reserved for G Series Desktop apus and mobile processors whether it's the radon Graphics found as part of the once top tier 5700 G or the 78m graphics within the flagship 8700g it's been amazing to see how far I gpus have progressed gaming without a separate graphics card has gone from possible to somewhat enjoyable but let's talk about the ryzen 57600 X here along with other 7,000 series desktop chips this too has an igpu but don't get too excited it's got just two rdna2 compute units with 128 cores and a clock speed of 2200 MHz it does have two RT cores so raate tracing is supported But ultimately the graphics are here for display purposes sort of like Intel's early HD graphics they're there for the sake of an output or so most people would say what's to stop us from firing up some games absolutely Ely nothing say you've bought one of these and haven't quite saved up enough for your dream GPU just yet can the radon Graphics inside this capable six core chip tied you over until then well let's start with cyberpunk 2077 not the best example of a game you want to try and play with this igpu and of course we need the lowest settings I've also selected FSR 2.1 with ultra performance mode because in a lot of cases we're going to need this too and in games that don't support any form of upscaling I've just dropped the native resolution thankfully though here we can enable FSR 2.1 Ultra performance for an average of 31 frames per second so I guess these Graphics aren't as bad as some people may say uh that is if you like looking through what looks like some sort of Vaseline filter on the screen because even with the sharpness turned up a little bit it doesn't really look that good and it's going to be a problem for your eyeballs after a while I'm sure the percentile lows weren't actually too bad either though coming in at 24 and 22 frames per second respectively we should also cover Ray tracing briefly here because this is the first and last time I'll do so in this video cyberpunk 2077 with the same settings and RT set to ultra yeah I didn't even bother with a benchmark result here because you can see how it performs absolutely atrociously is the answer so no need for an actual definitive Benchmark so to speak but you can see um that it's best left off I jumped into Starfield next again not an ideal game for this igpu to be fair but I wanted to get these challenging AAA releases out of the way first of all to give you some context I guess the lowest settings here with FSR 3 and 50% resolution scaling for 13 frames per second an Unlucky 13 frames per second at least the percental lows were very consistent at 11 and 10 respectively um so it was consistently bad and I guess it's got something going for it right GTA 5 next and this is definitely playable with plus 30 FPS almost 60 in fact at 1080p well 51 frames per second uh the lowest settings also chosen here as well as FXAA for our anti-a lising solution the 1% low was 43 and the 0.1% number was 41 so it was very consistent and if you're happy with plus 30 frames per second you don't really want 60 or you don't want to aim for it then you could definitely turn a few set settings up the lowest settings here is basically the normal settings and the detail sliders were also set to their respective minimum this is definitely more than playable and it reminds me of the Playstation 3/ Xbox 360 experience albe it without the uh frame rate here so yeah not too bad considering that these Graphics aren't meant to be gamed on so to speak next up we have F Horizon 5 1080p with a very low preset and FXAA now in mind I had 30 plus FPS across the test Suite today I didn't really want to aim for 60 because most of the time it would require too much of a visual sacrifice so I thought if we can get at least 30 on this IG GPU then so be it here 1080p with a very low preset FXAA on for 40 frames per second the low settings did incur more dips below 30 frames per second so I thought it was best left at very low here where we also saw pretty consistent percentile lows basically 35 for both the 1% and. 1% figure I'm also using 32 gigs of 6400 MHz dual Channel Ram as well for those wondering and I've set the dedicated vram amount in the Bios to 8 gigs for the GPU so we're basically left with 24 gigs and 8 gigs of system reserved dedicated towards the vram so say it doesn't make a difference you can just leave it at Auto whatever but in my experience I've actually noticed that it does slightly I could be wrong could just be all in my head but from what I've seen it does seem to but maybe I'll do a test in the future to see whether or not I'm not just making that up Boulders Gate 3 next 108p with the lowest settings and FSR 2.2 Ultra performance now you might be thinking why not go for 720p here and I did but this actually gives us a better result than native 720p we could enable 720p and FSR but that's going to look horrendous be totally blurry and it's not going to make as much of a difference as you may think I think this is sort of it's not a fast-paced FPS game put it this way so 27 frames per second on average wasn't too sad here a 1% low of 21 was also it's getting worse but the 0. 1% low of 13 does indicate a few dips and drops still not bad for an integrated graphic solution that is in no way advertised as a gaming solution though Elder ring next 720p here now upscaling in game so 720p with the lowest settings for 39 900p is going to give you a slightly worse result and 1080p is out of the question for Plus plus 30 FPS so you're best off with 720p here at the lowest settings for 39 frames per second especially to account for some of the dips that you will see as you can see the 1% frame rate here was 29.6 or 30 as always round things up and the 0.1% number was six so definitely not without its problems is Elden ring on this 7600 XI GPU games like Counter Strike 2 or should I say Counter Strike 2 because you can't really say games like Counter Strike I guess because you know every game is different performance- wise anyway lowest settings FSR set to Quality for 70 frames per second now with FSR off we actually saw 59.8 so basically 60 frames per second but there were more significant dips and drops so I thought we might as well enable some form of FSR I think it uses FSR 1.0 though because it does drop the visual quality quite a bit that's why I didn't really use any more sort of aggressive forms of FSR here it still looks better than if you would have turned it down to9 100 or 720p though so uh some of you may want to do that whether or not fsar imp packs latency more significantly or not and may put you off in the long run on an online competitive game like this well it's up to you but I found that these settings were sort of The Sweet Spot for a mix of visuals and performance in CS2 here Apex Legends surprised me low textures here not very low just low with everything else set to lowest and a 60fps dynamic rares now I let the game sort of choose the resolution in order to try and keep at least 60 frames per second and we came away with 63 on average which wasn't too bad it didn't look too bad either the 1% low was 41 and the point 1% low was 34 there will be some noticeable dips and drops perhaps if there smoke effects on screen or a few enemy players it's going to tank the frame rate a little bit but considering what we're working with not too bad for fortnite I went with performance mode and the lowest settings with 80% 3D resolution we could have kept 100% 3D res and we would have seen at least 60 frames per second but again the dips and drops would have been more significant here and there are still some areas of the game that will dip below 60 frames per second even with performance mode here and the lowest settings with this cut down 3D res here though definitely playable so if you're waiting for that new GPU to arrive and you want to give the integrated 7600 X or any other 7,000 series chip igpu a go because it's all the same I think across all of them then you're going to be fine in fortnite finally then we have Red Dead Redemption 2 I chose 720 P this does have FSR but it doesn't work that well in my experience especially not on these apus so instead of enabling FSR I just went with 720p native with medium textures everything else at lowest and FXAA this gave us 31 frames per second think of Red Dead 2 reimagined as a early PS3 title and that's what you are going to end up with here 31 FPS on average with a 1% low of 26 and a 0.1% low of 23 all in all these Graphics probably perform worse than the ones you'd find on the older 3400g for example maybe even the old Vega 3 graphics on the 3000g if that CPU wasn't so weak then uh the igpu would probably outperform this but maybe that's a comparison for another day as well as for the 7600 X Graphics though I don't think they're as bad as some reviewers made out at the time it's taken me a long while to test them I've not had much experience with 7,000 series chips as a whole to be honest not the desktop range anyway so all that's left to say is thanks for watching leave a comment down below leave your thoughts below I like to read through as many as I can and hopefully I'll see all of you in the next onehello everyone and welcome to another video now amd's integrated Graphics have traditionally been reserved for G Series Desktop apus and
