"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome to tech deals which 110 dollar graphics card should you buy for your rising three twelve hundred one hundred and ten dollar processor this video is a test of nine different games on these two $110 graphics cards in that $110 processor rise in three has now launched in it's incredible value for the money so I want to take a look at what kind of performance you can expect playing 1080p full HD resolution on a relatively inexpensive graphics card on an amazing value of a CPU they're now linked it down in the video description below will be my launch review of the rising 3 where I take a look at both rise and freeze I will have upcoming videos showing overclocking and further comparisons of these chips but for now we're just looking at the $110 rise in three 1200 now the CPU is overclocked to 3.8 gigahertz at 1.3 volts on an AMD Schouler that's a very conservative voltage setting it'll be just fine there I will also have an overclocking video coming up soon with that in more detail we are running 16 gigabytes of ddr4 2666 now I absolutely can run 32 hundred megahertz Ram but I understand that people looking for a budget graphics card and a budget CPU may want to spend less on the RAM so I'm using 2666 today to show you what a little bit less expensive Ram will do please note that everyone is guaranteed to get 2666 that's officially supported the 3200 megahertz is overclocked so I thought I would show you something a bit different there the CPU is installed in the assist be free 50 prime $89 motherboard you do not have to buy an expensive motherboard to overclock your Rison processor now I have previously covered both of these graphics cards on my channel and done individual reviews of them so I won't talk about them here but I will answer one question that I'm sure is bound to come up which is why not the 1050 Ti and why not the 4 gigabyte version of the rx 560 simple they're too expensive right now on the date that I'm filming this at the end of July 2017 there's currently about a $40 price difference between the two gigabyte and 4 gigabyte cards on the 10:50 side and about a $30 price difference on the RX 565 it's not worth the money the kind of games in the detail settings are going to run out on these cards don't really need 4 gigabytes of vram the 2 gigabytes is plenty it is true that the 1050 Ti is about 10% faster than the 1050 but it's not worth a $40 price increase to get 10% more performance so right now in July 2017 these two cards for 110 dollars are the deal now if that changes in the future if the 1050 Ti drops down to 120 or 125 dollars then it's a deal I would pay no more than $20 price premium for the 4 gigabyte versions of these cards over the 2 gigabyte versions anything more than that and I don't think it's worth the money now what sorts of games do I recommend these cards for principally eSports and casual games Rainbow six siege overwatch dota 2 kind of Strike global Offensive minecraft League of Legends those games play perfectly on these cards what about Triple A games such as Grand Theft Auto 5 the division Ghost Recon wildlands and other demanding games yes they will play on these cards but usually you have to turn the detail down to medium or low now that's a 1080p if you're ok to accept either 720p or 900 P you can often get medium to high in some of those games on these cards but it's not really what they're designed for a GTX 1060 or an Rx 570 or 580 would be a better choice if those are the games you're mostly interested but I am going to show you some of those results here in just a minute what about the cards directly beneath these for between 70 to 80 dollars there is an rx 550 and a GT 1030 those cards have half the performance of these they're not really meant for gaming at all they'll do it but they're not meant for it those are home theater PC cards and for non gaming tasks if you are interested in playing games these are really the minimum cards that you should be buying new game benchmarks are great and we'll get to those in just a minute but there are other reasons to choose one card over the other besides just raw performance features application support monitor support AMD card support free sync Nvidia card support do you think that's a concern to some people some people like to play games that are more or AMD optimized or Nvidia optimized some people prefer the AMD driver software over the Nvidia software or vice versa and some people simply prefer different brands now many companies such as MSI gigabyte and soos make both types of cards others such as the two here EVGA and sapphire only make cards from one brand or the other EVGA is in video only and Sapphire is AMD only so your preferred brands may also play a role then there is appearance and fit within your system now these are both single fan cards but you can find dual fan cards of both versions which one fits into your computer is a concern the other thing you want to keep in mind is whether or not they require a 6-pin PCI Express power connector some of these cards do some don't this EVGA card for example does not it will basically fit into any computer that you can physically put in to do no special power supply requirements are needed whatsoever but there are other versions of this from EVGA such as the for the win 1050 which do require a 6 pin PCI Express power connector likewise this sapphire pulse card does use a 6 pin PCI Express power connector that does allow it to have a higher factory overclock and potentially more overclock if you wish to tweak the settings now both of these cards they were tested at the out of the box clock speeds they are both factory overclocked but I did not overclock them further you of course can certainly do some most 1050 and rx 560 cards have the same ports in the back a dual link DVI connector and HDMI 2.0 port which does support 4k at 60 Hertz and a DisplayPort 1.4 now while these do support 4k displays they are of course not 4k 4k gaming graphics cards but please know that you can absolutely drive a 4k display or a 4k television with these graphics cards and then play your games at 1080p 1080p is exactly 50% of the horizontal and 50% of the vertical resolution of 4k so it's half and half it scales perfectly and it looks gorgeous there's no jaggies and there's no funny scaling so if you have a 4k monitor or 4k television better a game at 1080p these karts will do that very very well that's enough of the features in comparison on to the benchmarks but before we get there I would like to remind you that links for all the 1050 and rx 560 cards to both Amazon and Newegg as well as the rise in three processors and the RAM and the motherboard used will all be in the video description below as I said to both Amazon and Newegg if you found this video helpful and useful in any way please use those links while shopping I would greatly appreciate it now on to the benchmarks the first game we're looking at today is Rainbow six siege now we are running the game's built-in benchmark most of these will be but three I'm going to show you live game performance videos I will show you the individual charts after each game and the end of this video will be a chart with all of the averages in a single place now these first few will go very quickly because the built-in benchmarks do not take very long to run if you want to reseed the real time numbers that MSI Afterburner is providing you can see them right there on the screen while the graphics cards are fully utilized that's that first percentage on the first line you will notice that our framerate is over a hundred frames per second Rainbow six siege actually plays very well on modest hardware it's a beautiful game but it is not the most commanding game that we're going to test here today so what are the results look like minimum maximum and average the green bars throughout all these tests are going to be the average framerate in the built-in benchmarks the red bars are the minimums and the blue bars are the maximum frame rate the average framerate is a little bit higher on the RX 560 however the maximum frame rate is a little bit higher on the GTX 1050 while 149 frames per second is awesome the reality at the higher minimums and the higher averages are more useful when playing a game like this than a few more extra maximum frame rate if you cared about 150 frames per second you probably aren't looking at a hundred and ten dollar graphics card on one hundred and ten dollar CPU so Rainbow six siege goes by a little bit to the RX 560 the next game on our test bench is rise of the Tomb Raider medium detail 1080p rise of the Tomb Raider recently got a patch for rising to improve its performance as well as a DirectX 12 update if you look at the MSI Afterburner real-time numbers you will see we are in fact running in DirectX several of these games were tested in DirectX 12 now I am using the game's built-in benchmark here I'm not using fraps in order to benchmark it so the only thing running on this machine is MSI Afterburner to provide these real-time numbers and then of course the game itself all of these games were recorded externally on my elgato hd60 s capture car they were recorded on a separate computer so there is no performance loss the videos that you're watching are the actual benchmarks that you'll see the numbers in in each of the charts now when I show you the charts on this I want you to keep in mind that there are three different scenes and the game provides numbers for each of those scenes and then an average overall once you're going to be looking at what the numbers here is the minimum from the lowest scene the maximum from the highest scene and then the average across all three of them as reported by the game now I said earlier in this video that if you want to play triple-a games then really going up a step in graphics card spending $200 instead of $100 on a graphics card really does get you more performance but not everybody has that option and you really can get a lot of performance out of a hundred and ten dollar graphics card 55 frames per second average on the rx 5 60 56 frames per second average on the GTX 1050 the minimums do get down quite far however we are at medium detail you can set it to low if you want and get those up a bit although the games appearance really takes a dive down at low detail the maximums are of course amazing but really that's not the playable number it's the average in the minimums if you had a rx 570 or 580 in here or a GTX 1060 these numbers would be improved dramatically next up we have for honor also medium detail at 1080p this game actually was given away with a lot of Nvidia cards earlier in 2017 and it frankly is an Nvidia optimized title which is why you're going to see the frame rates a little bit higher there in fact if you watch the real-time numbers here we're bouncing between 55 and 60 frames per second on the 1050 and we're about 55 frames per second or a bit below that at point on the rx 560 but I would like to make a very important point when going to these benchmarks the difference of five frames per second looks impressive on a benchmark chart the reality is if you didn't have a frame rate counter on the screen when you're playing is there really a difference between 55 frames per second and 60 maybe perhaps I suppose you could also turn the detail down slightly in my opinion the difference of five frames per second between one card and another is not a huge difference although the RX 560 is in fact slower here because this game really does love Nvidia cards some games are that way some games like AMD cards like I was talking about earlier in the video take a look at our VRAM usage we are just under two gigabytes of vram on both cards I made some commentary earlier in the video when I said that you really didn't need four gigabytes of vram take a look at our performance this is why we have 57 frames per second average on the 560 65 frames per second average on the 1050 now if we turn this game up to high detail or beyond would you need more than two gigs of the ramp yes you would but then you'd be looking at 30 frames per second so the card does not have the compute power to use four gigs of VRAM not in triple-a gaming titles I really think two gigabytes is the sweet spot for this level of performance certainly if you buy an rx 570 or 580 you'll need four but those cards come with four so that's what you need now we're going to jump to a much older game this is the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider we are running it ultra detail I said earlier in the video that if you want to play triple-a games of three years or older these cards are all you need these are equivalent to top end cards or at least mid range cards from three or four years ago we are running at ultra detail and we are over 60 frames per second now it may not hold that throughout the whole game you might have to turn it down to very high or high instead of ultra but I'm showing you an older title in these tests to demonstrate if you want to play black ops 3 instead of Infinity warfare if you want to play battlefield 3 or battlefield 4 instead of battlefield 1 these cards actually will do an excellent job of it you really don't have to buy the latest and greatest high end expensive card if you're willing to play games they're just a little bit older on the plus side these games can often be had for or $10 or less during steam sales very good value for the money let me know in the comment section below if you like seeing older games like the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider or whether or not you just want to see current games 77 frames per second average on the rx 560 86 frames per second average on the gtx 1050 again ultra detail even the minimum frame rates were above 60 frames per second on both cards just reinforces the point that once you go back a couple years in gaming even hundred dollar graphics cards will play things very very nicely now that brings us to mankind divided which is the absolute opposite of the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider we are playing it low detail this is the first benchmark I'm showing you at the lowest detail settings that it goes now this is at 1080p and you could get better performance by lowering it to 900 P or 720p resolution instead of trying to run at 1080p now if you look at the real-time frame rates you'll see that both cards are running below 60 frames per second and they dip well below that in certain circumstances it's also the built-in benchmark there's going to be places in this game where it struggles even further notice that the built-in benchmark is only using two of our processing cores I'll talk about that more in the Ghost Recon benchmark here in a minute it's worth noting that built-in benchmarks do not always but they do sometimes they don't always reflect the actual performance of the game in terms of CPU usage memory usage VRAM usage etc and I'm going to show you that later in this video I'm going to show you several comparisons some of which show the benchmarks work well and some of which may be dumped to make a long story short it really is game specific will mankind divided really play on a current 110 dollar graphics card not really you need more CPU than a rising 3 1200 not really actually the CPU should play this game just fine horizon 5 1400 would of course be a better choice and in my general advice is if you want to play triple-a games the extra cost a risin 5 1400 is 159 dollars it's $50 more expensive than the CPU but it has SMT it has 8 threads instead of 4 definitely better for triple-a Gaming and that brings us to our benchmark results the RX 560 averaged 53 frames per second and the gtx 1050 averaged 50 frames per second a little bit slower the minimums were the same at 40 and the maximums were a little better on the RX 560 this particular game likes the RX 560 others like the 1050 frankly spoiler alert that's what you're going to see throughout these tests some games run 5 or 10 frames per second faster on one card and then it flips with other games these cards are so close in performance it really doesn't make a difference by the one that you prefer or they cost less next up we have Far Cry primal now this also is being run at low detail if you look at the frame rate you'll see why I actually tried it at medium I tried it at high it really was pretty bad please note that HD textures are not loaded for this test I usually have HD textures turned on for my Far Cry primal runs but it just it's too much so they are turned off if you've got 110 dollar card you don't want the HD texture pack loaded anyway you certainly not at low detail there's no point we are at 60 frames per second which is nice whether or not you're okay with running it at low detail is entirely a personal choice well I'm not going to show it to you I would like to make a point with all the games you're going to see today if you want to turn the detail up a notch try turning the resolution down to 720p or 900p a lot of times lowering the resolution will let you crank the detail up a notch and get similar performance 63 frames per second average on the 560 67 frames per second average on the 1050 it's a win for the 1050 by 4 frames per second now that lead just to Grand Theft Auto 5 first of all is Grand Theft Auto 5 playable at high detail at 1080p with full screen anti-aliasing turned on on a hundred and ten dollar graphics card yes it is that's what you're watching here is high detail notice I have the screen divide it a bit differently on the top we have the game's built-in benchmark on the bottom we have live gameplay this is very important I want you to look at the third line of the MSI Afterburner numbers I want you to look at the CPU usage during the games bench not during the loading screen where it's loading watch it here we're at anywhere between 60 to 70 percent usage on the doulton benchmark look at the usage in the live gameplay it is above 90% usage an awful lot of the time as we transition to the next scene and the game's built-in benchmark you'll see that it dips down a bit well okay the fairgrounds is pretty intensive with the lights and everything watch it when the Jets flying that's where you'll really see the drop I have been saying this on my channel for a year now that live game performance video is far more reflective of actual game performance than built-in benchmarks are the truth of the matter is built-in benchmarks do not represent input lag CPU latency AI collision detection there's a lot of things that actually don't have to happen for a games built-in benchmark this deal when you're playing watch the bottom screens they were both pegged at 99% CPU usage there we're still above 90% there's 97 98 99 % 93% watch the jet up at the top now there are times where the game's built-in benchmark spikes up but there's a lot of times where the game's built-in benchmark is noticeably lower than the actual game itself this is important because not all games that work well with the benchmark are as playable as the benchmark would indicate and frame rates not everything now Ghost Recon wildlands is by far the most dramatic example of this while the framerate looks good the playability is pretty poor on a fork or chip now that's a subject for a rise in review and I will revisit that on the rise in 3 vs. rise in 5 vs. right in 7 what I'm going to do is pick a high-end graphics card and then I will do a test across all the rise in CPUs and show what you get for the money in terms of gaming performance I'll do non gaming as well but that will be a separate video so I'll show you is it really worth it rise in 5 1400 over 1200 is a 1600 worth at over 1400 spoiler alert if you want to play Ghost Recon wildlands if you want to play Mass Effect Andromeda yes it is if you've got the money they really are better choices for long-term gaming on the other hand not everybody wants to play every latest game not everybody cares about how perfect it is or how perfectly controllable it is you just want to play a few games casually every so often without taking it too seriously I understand a hundred and nine dollars for arisin three twelve hundred is an incredible value for the money I did actually manage to get my live run booked at the bottom I'm in 18-wheeler trucks with trailers I actually worked really hard this time around to make those runs as close as possible if you are a longtime fan of my channel you will have seen Grand Theft Auto 5 live performance videos many many times but it isn't always the same sometimes I'm in the city sometimes I'm in the country sometimes I'm driving different vehicles I am making an effort to make my in-game gameplay as close as possible so I even went to the effort to go steal big rigs at the same point in the benchmark so that you could see it seven okay there's slightly different big rigs but I'm in the city I'm on the highway it's as close as I can get live gameplay now you'll notice at the top that I have recycled the game's built-in benchmark to let you watch it twice while the actual live gameplay is continuing it makes this video a little bit longer but that's what timestamps down in the video description below you can skip around to the various game performance videos if you want to you can skip to the end if you want to but this lets you compare the games built-in benchmark to multiple scenes of actual life you see I'm driving downtown to round buildings in the big trucks you really it's not perfect but that's about as close as I could ever get a live gameplay right there at least without hacking the game to be sure that's another consideration I don't hack the game I don't use directors mode I don't pre stage things because that isn't necessarily the live game I do use the cheat codes to give myself invincibility but I'm not altering the game if you go into directors mode if you go in and use cheats and hacks beyond what's built into the game you run the risk of representing epic jump on the bottom right hand corner seriously I did that in the other one as well wait for it I even did that saying that was a nasty jump I may not let this run long enough but actually did do that same jump in that same spot with the other big rig like I said I've worked really hard to make this match in any case I want to show the live not a hacked game or not an edited director mode game so that's why you're seeing me use the cheat codes but nothing else now I'll let this run to the end of the second front of the built-in benchmark at the top because I do believe you're about to see in the bottom left-hand corner oh there we go another epic jump with the trailer come on that is cool beans I have to say Grand Theft Auto 5 is so cool it's oh did you see the police car bounce off the back end of the trip that was funny I'm sorry the laughs a pet and I will not actually get that trailer off the truck off there it's really stuck I'll get it stuck up on there and then it falls over and then off we go but any case so you can see the difference between the games built in benchmark and then the difference between live gameplay now it's not terrible here I mean it's there are places where it's closed but the live game can often be more demanding than the built in benchmark is will that show up in the actual benchmark results well I'll show you that here in just a second when the live benchmark finishes up on the top of the screen but please keep in mind that framerate is not necessarily playability how well a game plays versus what framerate you get does not always match so here we are at the benchmark charts now the top two numbers are the games built in benchmarks 77 frames per second on the RX 560 verses 89 frames per second on the gtx 1050 the bottom two are the live gameplay now those runs went on for much longer than what you're going to see in this video to keep the length down there's between 10 to 15 minutes on each of those 75 frames per second on the RX 560 vs. 82 frames per second on the 1050 please note that there's a much smaller gap between live gameplay than the built-in benchmark shows many people have commented the Grand Theft Auto 5 is much faster on Nvidia graphics cards than AMD cards it is on the game's built-in benchmark not necessarily live gameplay and if you watch that and didn't skip ahead to the results the truck the city I worked really hard to make the two gameplays as close as humanly possible I really do believe that if you put these side-by-side it would be indistinguishable in live gameplay if you didn't know which one you were playing the videocard is faster a little bit a few percentage points but it's not a huge difference by the card you want and don't worry too much because they're both over 60 frames per second now regarding the rising 3 versus rising 5 does it make a difference do you need more than 4 cores you don't need it in this game it would help I will show this game again when I do rise in 3 vs. rise in 5 but I'm not going to talk about that more here just look for that in a future video the next game that I'm going to show you live gameplay next to the built-in benchmark is the division the division is an absolutely gorgeous game and I have had way too much fun playing it I am actually surprised to be honest with you how little CPU this really does require now in the live gameplay on the bottom we are playing in the underground it's the first downloadable content expansion that you access once you beat the main story and I've had an absolute blast playing it please note that the underground does not necessarily represent the most difficult portion of this game that would be the dark zone in the center of the map the PvP content but I don't play PvP in the division so I'm not going to benchmark it and it would be wildly inconsistent I really do like benchmarking the underground because the runs are between 10 and 15 minutes long and they are extremely repeatable I have found that the actual of performance between various underground runs to be more repeatable than running around on the surface streets are because where you are on the map on the surface actually really does impact performance whereas the underground because it is an auto-generated map from a fixed set of resources it's fairly consistent from run to run now after commenting about the differences between built-in benchmarks and ingame performance videos I would like to say that the built-in benchmark here actually represents the performance barrier very well at least when it comes to single-player gameplay in situations like the underground and in the less crowded parts of the cities are there places in this game that are slower yes there are and it's something to consider when you look at the benchmark results that I'll show you in just a second don't worry I'm not going to show you the whole run because the performance is amazingly consistent notice that the frame rate is not having huge wild swings there are dips but it's not all over the place the momentary drops when there's an explosion are annoying but let me sure you when you look at the benchmark results here this is completely and totally playable I have enough time into this game to tell you that at least for the single player not PvP portion of this game even with the frame dips that occur they are momentary they are not an impediment to controlling the game and I found it very easy to play what I personally play the division on this hardware 110 dollar graphics card one hundred and ten dollar CPU yes I would now we're running at medium detail very playable if you want more framerate if you want the minimums to be higher you can always put it on low although it gets rid of a lot of the pretties don't try high high kills the framerate really fast on hardware of this level you'd want to step up the graphics cards just a bit if high is on your list of things to do the built-in benchmark at the top is still running I'll go ahead and let this finish before we switch to the results one quick comment I want to make some of you are going to notice the fan speed indicator on the gtx 1050 does not report the RPM only the percentage and it's only this card that does it my other cards do so that's just an error in the reporting the thirty-nine percent and thirty-eight percent you see on the top and bottom that's the fan speed of the card the fan is turning I assure you the fan is turning it just doesn't report an actual rpm whereas the AMD card does i also commented earlier in this video that neither of these cards are overclocked they're not this is exactly the out of the box performance that you get both of these cards will overclock five to ten percent more performance you can get somewhere in the 1400 megahertz range on the AMD card and somewhere in the eighteen to nineteen hundred megahertz range on the nvidia card if you want to manually overclock them a bit now here we are looking at the results 56 to 52 frames per second on the built in benchmark 55 to 54 frames per second average on the actual gameplay notice the red and the blue bars the red bars are the one percent minimum the blue bars are the point one percent minimum these look worse than they are if you are watching the live gameplay up there try to find those they are extremely momentary and very rare that's why I commented how playable it really was benchmark charts do not tell the tale which is why this video so long and why the actual game video is in here because if you look at these charts it's too easy is that playable it's completely playable no issues whatsoever that looks worse than it really is that leads us to our final game of this video we have Ghost Recon wildlands one of my favorite games of 2017 now I have commented this in other videos I mentioned that the Rison 3 launch review the built in benchmark does not necessarily reflect this game as well as it does in others I really do think the live game performance video shows a truer picture now at the low detail that we are running it's not as bad when I showed you the game performance videos on the rise in free launch video I commented at the time that the game was very rough now that was at very high detail with a gtx 1080p on which in fairness nobody is going to put onto a rise in 3 processor or you certainly shouldn't if you're thinking of doing that please don't when I played this again at low detail it is better but it still stutters a lot there's there's a lot of places in the game where the input lag is just dreadful that's the four core fourth red rising ship at work there please note that we are running overclocked to 3.8 gigahertz that's not the problem the lack of threads is the problem now if you look at the real-time performance at the bottom you'll say but we're not pegged at 99% no we're not and that's just a thing it doesn't always go up to 100% even when the CPU is fully busy you can either take my word for it or not but let me tell you the input lag is real on a four thread chip to be completely honest I don't recommend Ghost Recon wildlands on for thread chips that would include I 5s that would include the rise in freeze now rise in fives the rise in 5 14-hundred is an 8 thread chip and it does play better the i7 any of the i7 chips even a five-year-old i7 will play this much better than the i5 swill and I am speaking from experience there because I did play this and I did test this on the rise in v 1400 in the risin v 1500 X to the rise in to relaunch review much better much smoother same graphics card same details I think the experience was a much more pleasant experience but it doesn't show up in the benchmark charts if you look at the benchmark charts of my rise in 3 launch video it's very easy to go what in the world it looks okay the frame rate looks fine why is there a problem there is there really really is so if you want to play Triple A games into 2017 2018 2019 if you're buying a CPU today to last you three years I really think arisin five 1400 is the minimum you should buy you can get away with arisin three 1200 I understand some people are on very tight budgets and the benefit of the a m4 platform is that future upgrade ability AMD is promised to keep the a m4 socket and the motherboards for four years so through 2020 through a whole upgrade cycle you could buy a rise in three 1200 and live with it for now play the games maybe play older games or just accept the performance use it for a year or two and then be ready to upgrade Intel 10 tends to change their sockets on their motherboards every other year if you were to buy an AI 5 today you can't upgrade just the CPU in two years you have to replace the entire motherboard with Rison you don't you'll be able to upgrade to Zen - or Zen 3 AMD is working on the next generation already this isn't a secret that they've talked about that it's worth considering that that is definitely an advantage of the rising platform now if you're worried about whether that will come true I would like to point out that AMD kept their am-3 socket the one before a m4 for more than four years they have a track record going back more than 10 years of keeping their sockets through many generations not just two like Intel does so if you can't afford a faster CPU fear not wait a couple of years you'll be able to buy the next generation of rising chips drop it into your a m4 motherboard and get awesome new performance without having to change your whole computer now one more quick note regarding Ghost Recon wildlands you notice that we're playing at low detail if you want to see what this looks like played on rising processors at a higher quality setting go watch my rise in three launch video which is down in the description below that contains Ghost Recon with very high detail set on a GTX 1080p I again don't put that graphics card in here but you could do a gtx 1060 or rx 580 both excellent cards I've tested them both in Ghost Recon wildlands and the pass on my channel mouth not on horizon 3 I will when the RX 580 s coming back from normal stock I will come back and retest all of these games with an RX 580 versus a gtx 1060 and here you can see the benchmarks the top two lines again are the games built in benchmark 57 frames per second and 65 respectively looks great doesn't it even the live gameplay looks great 60 and 63 frames per second respectively and even the minimums aren't too bad 45 and 48 on the one percent minimum and 38 and 34 on the point one percent minimum that being said it's not the frame rate that's the issue with this game it's the input lag when you try to drive when you try to turn your vehicle there's an ever so slight delay between when you press the keys and one stuff happens that delay does not exist on the horizon 5 1400 and 1500 X it does not show up in the benchmark chart I've actually backed my brain how to show that in a video because it's something you really only experience when you're playing the game but I can absolutely feel a difference between playing between the rise and three and risin 5 that by the way is not true on the division and grand theft auto 5 both of those were completely controllable on the rise and three-chip it's really a Ghost Recon wildlands thing this is why I believe if you're buying a processor for the next three years it's an issue if you're only buying a processor to play today's game Rising 3 is great it'll play everything maybe except for this one just fine but if you're buying a chip to last you 3 years this will be a growing problem as games simply require more into 2018 and 2019 the best deal long term is probably the rise in 5 1600 but that's the topic for the rise and overview now here are all the averages on the 2 cards in all 9 games that I'm showing you now all the averages for the three games that I showed you live gameplay are from the games built in benchmark just to keep things even this way you don't have to scroll through the video to see what the average frame rate was between the cards you can see them all in one place the only real problem game in this list beside the comments I made on Ghost Recon is mankind divided because that's at low detail and it can't go any lower rise of the Tomb Raider and the division we're both at medium detail both could be turned down please note that you don't to use presets you can manually adjust them term one or two of the detail settings down rather than using presets those have room for adjustment but mankind divided was already at low everything else you can find something that's playable at one hundred and ten dollar card and so there you have it nine games tested on these two cards out of all of that do we have a solid conclusion is one of these cards absolutely better than the other not really same price and roughly the same performance there are as you saw games where the 1050 is faster but there's games where the RX 560 is faster and where you live or based upon mail-in rebate sales or discounts one of these cards may be a little bit less expensive and it might be the one you want to go with the truth of the matter is they are so close and performance if you were to setup two identical computers one with each of these cards not tell the person using it which one they're using and ask them to pick out the faster machine it would be very hard to tell in day-to-day use they're both excellent cards and I'm glad that we have this competition from AMD and NVIDIA to bring us this great performance like this video if you liked it share it with your friends if you loved it remember subscribe to my channel with the big huge red button directly below this video questions and comments in the comment section and as always the links in the video descriptionhello and welcome to tech deals which 110 dollar graphics card should you buy for your rising three twelve hundred one hundred and ten dollar processor this video is a test of nine different games on these two $110 graphics cards in that $110 processor rise in three has now launched in it's incredible value for the money so I want to take a look at what kind of performance you can expect playing 1080p full HD resolution on a relatively inexpensive graphics card on an amazing value of a CPU they're now linked it down in the video description below will be my launch review of the rising 3 where I take a look at both rise and freeze I will have upcoming videos showing overclocking and further comparisons of these chips but for now we're just looking at the $110 rise in three 1200 now the CPU is overclocked to 3.8 gigahertz at 1.3 volts on an AMD Schouler that's a very conservative voltage setting it'll be just fine there I will also have an overclocking video coming up soon with that in more detail we are running 16 gigabytes of ddr4 2666 now I absolutely can run 32 hundred megahertz Ram but I understand that people looking for a budget graphics card and a budget CPU may want to spend less on the RAM so I'm using 2666 today to show you what a little bit less expensive Ram will do please note that everyone is guaranteed to get 2666 that's officially supported the 3200 megahertz is overclocked so I thought I would show you something a bit different there the CPU is installed in the assist be free 50 prime $89 motherboard you do not have to buy an expensive motherboard to overclock your Rison processor now I have previously covered both of these graphics cards on my channel and done individual reviews of them so I won't talk about them here but I will answer one question that I'm sure is bound to come up which is why not the 1050 Ti and why not the 4 gigabyte version of the rx 560 simple they're too expensive right now on the date that I'm filming this at the end of July 2017 there's currently about a $40 price difference between the two gigabyte and 4 gigabyte cards on the 10:50 side and about a $30 price difference on the RX 565 it's not worth the money the kind of games in the detail settings are going to run out on these cards don't really need 4 gigabytes of vram the 2 gigabytes is plenty it is true that the 1050 Ti is about 10% faster than the 1050 but it's not worth a $40 price increase to get 10% more performance so right now in July 2017 these two cards for 110 dollars are the deal now if that changes in the future if the 1050 Ti drops down to 120 or 125 dollars then it's a deal I would pay no more than $20 price premium for the 4 gigabyte versions of these cards over the 2 gigabyte versions anything more than that and I don't think it's worth the money now what sorts of games do I recommend these cards for principally eSports and casual games Rainbow six siege overwatch dota 2 kind of Strike global Offensive minecraft League of Legends those games play perfectly on these cards what about Triple A games such as Grand Theft Auto 5 the division Ghost Recon wildlands and other demanding games yes they will play on these cards but usually you have to turn the detail down to medium or low now that's a 1080p if you're ok to accept either 720p or 900 P you can often get medium to high in some of those games on these cards but it's not really what they're designed for a GTX 1060 or an Rx 570 or 580 would be a better choice if those are the games you're mostly interested but I am going to show you some of those results here in just a minute what about the cards directly beneath these for between 70 to 80 dollars there is an rx 550 and a GT 1030 those cards have half the performance of these they're not really meant for gaming at all they'll do it but they're not meant for it those are home theater PC cards and for non gaming tasks if you are interested in playing games these are really the minimum cards that you should be buying new game benchmarks are great and we'll get to those in just a minute but there are other reasons to choose one card over the other besides just raw performance features application support monitor support AMD card support free sync Nvidia card support do you think that's a concern to some people some people like to play games that are more or AMD optimized or Nvidia optimized some people prefer the AMD driver software over the Nvidia software or vice versa and some people simply prefer different brands now many companies such as MSI gigabyte and soos make both types of cards others such as the two here EVGA and sapphire only make cards from one brand or the other EVGA is in video only and Sapphire is AMD only so your preferred brands may also play a role then there is appearance and fit within your system now these are both single fan cards but you can find dual fan cards of both versions which one fits into your computer is a concern the other thing you want to keep in mind is whether or not they require a 6-pin PCI Express power connector some of these cards do some don't this EVGA card for example does not it will basically fit into any computer that you can physically put in to do no special power supply requirements are needed whatsoever but there are other versions of this from EVGA such as the for the win 1050 which do require a 6 pin PCI Express power connector likewise this sapphire pulse card does use a 6 pin PCI Express power connector that does allow it to have a higher factory overclock and potentially more overclock if you wish to tweak the settings now both of these cards they were tested at the out of the box clock speeds they are both factory overclocked but I did not overclock them further you of course can certainly do some most 1050 and rx 560 cards have the same ports in the back a dual link DVI connector and HDMI 2.0 port which does support 4k at 60 Hertz and a DisplayPort 1.4 now while these do support 4k displays they are of course not 4k 4k gaming graphics cards but please know that you can absolutely drive a 4k display or a 4k television with these graphics cards and then play your games at 1080p 1080p is exactly 50% of the horizontal and 50% of the vertical resolution of 4k so it's half and half it scales perfectly and it looks gorgeous there's no jaggies and there's no funny scaling so if you have a 4k monitor or 4k television better a game at 1080p these karts will do that very very well that's enough of the features in comparison on to the benchmarks but before we get there I would like to remind you that links for all the 1050 and rx 560 cards to both Amazon and Newegg as well as the rise in three processors and the RAM and the motherboard used will all be in the video description below as I said to both Amazon and Newegg if you found this video helpful and useful in any way please use those links while shopping I would greatly appreciate it now on to the benchmarks the first game we're looking at today is Rainbow six siege now we are running the game's built-in benchmark most of these will be but three I'm going to show you live game performance videos I will show you the individual charts after each game and the end of this video will be a chart with all of the averages in a single place now these first few will go very quickly because the built-in benchmarks do not take very long to run if you want to reseed the real time numbers that MSI Afterburner is providing you can see them right there on the screen while the graphics cards are fully utilized that's that first percentage on the first line you will notice that our framerate is over a hundred frames per second Rainbow six siege actually plays very well on modest hardware it's a beautiful game but it is not the most commanding game that we're going to test here today so what are the results look like minimum maximum and average the green bars throughout all these tests are going to be the average framerate in the built-in benchmarks the red bars are the minimums and the blue bars are the maximum frame rate the average framerate is a little bit higher on the RX 560 however the maximum frame rate is a little bit higher on the GTX 1050 while 149 frames per second is awesome the reality at the higher minimums and the higher averages are more useful when playing a game like this than a few more extra maximum frame rate if you cared about 150 frames per second you probably aren't looking at a hundred and ten dollar graphics card on one hundred and ten dollar CPU so Rainbow six siege goes by a little bit to the RX 560 the next game on our test bench is rise of the Tomb Raider medium detail 1080p rise of the Tomb Raider recently got a patch for rising to improve its performance as well as a DirectX 12 update if you look at the MSI Afterburner real-time numbers you will see we are in fact running in DirectX several of these games were tested in DirectX 12 now I am using the game's built-in benchmark here I'm not using fraps in order to benchmark it so the only thing running on this machine is MSI Afterburner to provide these real-time numbers and then of course the game itself all of these games were recorded externally on my elgato hd60 s capture car they were recorded on a separate computer so there is no performance loss the videos that you're watching are the actual benchmarks that you'll see the numbers in in each of the charts now when I show you the charts on this I want you to keep in mind that there are three different scenes and the game provides numbers for each of those scenes and then an average overall once you're going to be looking at what the numbers here is the minimum from the lowest scene the maximum from the highest scene and then the average across all three of them as reported by the game now I said earlier in this video that if you want to play triple-a games then really going up a step in graphics card spending $200 instead of $100 on a graphics card really does get you more performance but not everybody has that option and you really can get a lot of performance out of a hundred and ten dollar graphics card 55 frames per second average on the rx 5 60 56 frames per second average on the GTX 1050 the minimums do get down quite far however we are at medium detail you can set it to low if you want and get those up a bit although the games appearance really takes a dive down at low detail the maximums are of course amazing but really that's not the playable number it's the average in the minimums if you had a rx 570 or 580 in here or a GTX 1060 these numbers would be improved dramatically next up we have for honor also medium detail at 1080p this game actually was given away with a lot of Nvidia cards earlier in 2017 and it frankly is an Nvidia optimized title which is why you're going to see the frame rates a little bit higher there in fact if you watch the real-time numbers here we're bouncing between 55 and 60 frames per second on the 1050 and we're about 55 frames per second or a bit below that at point on the rx 560 but I would like to make a very important point when going to these benchmarks the difference of five frames per second looks impressive on a benchmark chart the reality is if you didn't have a frame rate counter on the screen when you're playing is there really a difference between 55 frames per second and 60 maybe perhaps I suppose you could also turn the detail down slightly in my opinion the difference of five frames per second between one card and another is not a huge difference although the RX 560 is in fact slower here because this game really does love Nvidia cards some games are that way some games like AMD cards like I was talking about earlier in the video take a look at our VRAM usage we are just under two gigabytes of vram on both cards I made some commentary earlier in the video when I said that you really didn't need four gigabytes of vram take a look at our performance this is why we have 57 frames per second average on the 560 65 frames per second average on the 1050 now if we turn this game up to high detail or beyond would you need more than two gigs of the ramp yes you would but then you'd be looking at 30 frames per second so the card does not have the compute power to use four gigs of VRAM not in triple-a gaming titles I really think two gigabytes is the sweet spot for this level of performance certainly if you buy an rx 570 or 580 you'll need four but those cards come with four so that's what you need now we're going to jump to a much older game this is the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider we are running it ultra detail I said earlier in the video that if you want to play triple-a games of three years or older these cards are all you need these are equivalent to top end cards or at least mid range cards from three or four years ago we are running at ultra detail and we are over 60 frames per second now it may not hold that throughout the whole game you might have to turn it down to very high or high instead of ultra but I'm showing you an older title in these tests to demonstrate if you want to play black ops 3 instead of Infinity warfare if you want to play battlefield 3 or battlefield 4 instead of battlefield 1 these cards actually will do an excellent job of it you really don't have to buy the latest and greatest high end expensive card if you're willing to play games they're just a little bit older on the plus side these games can often be had for or $10 or less during steam sales very good value for the money let me know in the comment section below if you like seeing older games like the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider or whether or not you just want to see current games 77 frames per second average on the rx 560 86 frames per second average on the gtx 1050 again ultra detail even the minimum frame rates were above 60 frames per second on both cards just reinforces the point that once you go back a couple years in gaming even hundred dollar graphics cards will play things very very nicely now that brings us to mankind divided which is the absolute opposite of the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider we are playing it low detail this is the first benchmark I'm showing you at the lowest detail settings that it goes now this is at 1080p and you could get better performance by lowering it to 900 P or 720p resolution instead of trying to run at 1080p now if you look at the real-time frame rates you'll see that both cards are running below 60 frames per second and they dip well below that in certain circumstances it's also the built-in benchmark there's going to be places in this game where it struggles even further notice that the built-in benchmark is only using two of our processing cores I'll talk about that more in the Ghost Recon benchmark here in a minute it's worth noting that built-in benchmarks do not always but they do sometimes they don't always reflect the actual performance of the game in terms of CPU usage memory usage VRAM usage etc and I'm going to show you that later in this video I'm going to show you several comparisons some of which show the benchmarks work well and some of which may be dumped to make a long story short it really is game specific will mankind divided really play on a current 110 dollar graphics card not really you need more CPU than a rising 3 1200 not really actually the CPU should play this game just fine horizon 5 1400 would of course be a better choice and in my general advice is if you want to play triple-a games the extra cost a risin 5 1400 is 159 dollars it's $50 more expensive than the CPU but it has SMT it has 8 threads instead of 4 definitely better for triple-a Gaming and that brings us to our benchmark results the RX 560 averaged 53 frames per second and the gtx 1050 averaged 50 frames per second a little bit slower the minimums were the same at 40 and the maximums were a little better on the RX 560 this particular game likes the RX 560 others like the 1050 frankly spoiler alert that's what you're going to see throughout these tests some games run 5 or 10 frames per second faster on one card and then it flips with other games these cards are so close in performance it really doesn't make a difference by the one that you prefer or they cost less next up we have Far Cry primal now this also is being run at low detail if you look at the frame rate you'll see why I actually tried it at medium I tried it at high it really was pretty bad please note that HD textures are not loaded for this test I usually have HD textures turned on for my Far Cry primal runs but it just it's too much so they are turned off if you've got 110 dollar card you don't want the HD texture pack loaded anyway you certainly not at low detail there's no point we are at 60 frames per second which is nice whether or not you're okay with running it at low detail is entirely a personal choice well I'm not going to show it to you I would like to make a point with all the games you're going to see today if you want to turn the detail up a notch try turning the resolution down to 720p or 900p a lot of times lowering the resolution will let you crank the detail up a notch and get similar performance 63 frames per second average on the 560 67 frames per second average on the 1050 it's a win for the 1050 by 4 frames per second now that lead just to Grand Theft Auto 5 first of all is Grand Theft Auto 5 playable at high detail at 1080p with full screen anti-aliasing turned on on a hundred and ten dollar graphics card yes it is that's what you're watching here is high detail notice I have the screen divide it a bit differently on the top we have the game's built-in benchmark on the bottom we have live gameplay this is very important I want you to look at the third line of the MSI Afterburner numbers I want you to look at the CPU usage during the games bench not during the loading screen where it's loading watch it here we're at anywhere between 60 to 70 percent usage on the doulton benchmark look at the usage in the live gameplay it is above 90% usage an awful lot of the time as we transition to the next scene and the game's built-in benchmark you'll see that it dips down a bit well okay the fairgrounds is pretty intensive with the lights and everything watch it when the Jets flying that's where you'll really see the drop I have been saying this on my channel for a year now that live game performance video is far more reflective of actual game performance than built-in benchmarks are the truth of the matter is built-in benchmarks do not represent input lag CPU latency AI collision detection there's a lot of things that actually don't have to happen for a games built-in benchmark this deal when you're playing watch the bottom screens they were both pegged at 99% CPU usage there we're still above 90% there's 97 98 99 % 93% watch the jet up at the top now there are times where the game's built-in benchmark spikes up but there's a lot of times where the game's built-in benchmark is noticeably lower than the actual game itself this is important because not all games that work well with the benchmark are as playable as the benchmark would indicate and frame rates not everything now Ghost Recon wildlands is by far the most dramatic example of this while the framerate looks good the playability is pretty poor on a fork or chip now that's a subject for a rise in review and I will revisit that on the rise in 3 vs. rise in 5 vs. right in 7 what I'm going to do is pick a high-end graphics card and then I will do a test across all the rise in CPUs and show what you get for the money in terms of gaming performance I'll do non gaming as well but that will be a separate video so I'll show you is it really worth it rise in 5 1400 over 1200 is a 1600 worth at over 1400 spoiler alert if you want to play Ghost Recon wildlands if you want to play Mass Effect Andromeda yes it is if you've got the money they really are better choices for long-term gaming on the other hand not everybody wants to play every latest game not everybody cares about how perfect it is or how perfectly controllable it is you just want to play a few games casually every so often without taking it too seriously I understand a hundred and nine dollars for arisin three twelve hundred is an incredible value for the money I did actually manage to get my live run booked at the bottom I'm in 18-wheeler trucks with trailers I actually worked really hard this time around to make those runs as close as possible if you are a longtime fan of my channel you will have seen Grand Theft Auto 5 live performance videos many many times but it isn't always the same sometimes I'm in the city sometimes I'm in the country sometimes I'm driving different vehicles I am making an effort to make my in-game gameplay as close as possible so I even went to the effort to go steal big rigs at the same point in the benchmark so that you could see it seven okay there's slightly different big rigs but I'm in the city I'm on the highway it's as close as I can get live gameplay now you'll notice at the top that I have recycled the game's built-in benchmark to let you watch it twice while the actual live gameplay is continuing it makes this video a little bit longer but that's what timestamps down in the video description below you can skip around to the various game performance videos if you want to you can skip to the end if you want to but this lets you compare the games built-in benchmark to multiple scenes of actual life you see I'm driving downtown to round buildings in the big trucks you really it's not perfect but that's about as close as I could ever get a live gameplay right there at least without hacking the game to be sure that's another consideration I don't hack the game I don't use directors mode I don't pre stage things because that isn't necessarily the live game I do use the cheat codes to give myself invincibility but I'm not altering the game if you go into directors mode if you go in and use cheats and hacks beyond what's built into the game you run the risk of representing epic jump on the bottom right hand corner seriously I did that in the other one as well wait for it I even did that saying that was a nasty jump I may not let this run long enough but actually did do that same jump in that same spot with the other big rig like I said I've worked really hard to make this match in any case I want to show the live not a hacked game or not an edited director mode game so that's why you're seeing me use the cheat codes but nothing else now I'll let this run to the end of the second front of the built-in benchmark at the top because I do believe you're about to see in the bottom left-hand corner oh there we go another epic jump with the trailer come on that is cool beans I have to say Grand Theft Auto 5 is so cool it's oh did you see the police car bounce off the back end of the trip that was funny I'm sorry the laughs a pet and I will not actually get that trailer off the truck off there it's really stuck I'll get it stuck up on there and then it falls over and then off we go but any case so you can see the difference between the games built in benchmark and then the difference between live gameplay now it's not terrible here I mean it's there are places where it's closed but the live game can often be more demanding than the built in benchmark is will that show up in the actual benchmark results well I'll show you that here in just a second when the live benchmark finishes up on the top of the screen but please keep in mind that framerate is not necessarily playability how well a game plays versus what framerate you get does not always match so here we are at the benchmark charts now the top two numbers are the games built in benchmarks 77 frames per second on the RX 560 verses 89 frames per second on the gtx 1050 the bottom two are the live gameplay now those runs went on for much longer than what you're going to see in this video to keep the length down there's between 10 to 15 minutes on each of those 75 frames per second on the RX 560 vs. 82 frames per second on the 1050 please note that there's a much smaller gap between live gameplay than the built-in benchmark shows many people have commented the Grand Theft Auto 5 is much faster on Nvidia graphics cards than AMD cards it is on the game's built-in benchmark not necessarily live gameplay and if you watch that and didn't skip ahead to the results the truck the city I worked really hard to make the two gameplays as close as humanly possible I really do believe that if you put these side-by-side it would be indistinguishable in live gameplay if you didn't know which one you were playing the videocard is faster a little bit a few percentage points but it's not a huge difference by the card you want and don't worry too much because they're both over 60 frames per second now regarding the rising 3 versus rising 5 does it make a difference do you need more than 4 cores you don't need it in this game it would help I will show this game again when I do rise in 3 vs. rise in 5 but I'm not going to talk about that more here just look for that in a future video the next game that I'm going to show you live gameplay next to the built-in benchmark is the division the division is an absolutely gorgeous game and I have had way too much fun playing it I am actually surprised to be honest with you how little CPU this really does require now in the live gameplay on the bottom we are playing in the underground it's the first downloadable content expansion that you access once you beat the main story and I've had an absolute blast playing it please note that the underground does not necessarily represent the most difficult portion of this game that would be the dark zone in the center of the map the PvP content but I don't play PvP in the division so I'm not going to benchmark it and it would be wildly inconsistent I really do like benchmarking the underground because the runs are between 10 and 15 minutes long and they are extremely repeatable I have found that the actual of performance between various underground runs to be more repeatable than running around on the surface streets are because where you are on the map on the surface actually really does impact performance whereas the underground because it is an auto-generated map from a fixed set of resources it's fairly consistent from run to run now after commenting about the differences between built-in benchmarks and ingame performance videos I would like to say that the built-in benchmark here actually represents the performance barrier very well at least when it comes to single-player gameplay in situations like the underground and in the less crowded parts of the cities are there places in this game that are slower yes there are and it's something to consider when you look at the benchmark results that I'll show you in just a second don't worry I'm not going to show you the whole run because the performance is amazingly consistent notice that the frame rate is not having huge wild swings there are dips but it's not all over the place the momentary drops when there's an explosion are annoying but let me sure you when you look at the benchmark results here this is completely and totally playable I have enough time into this game to tell you that at least for the single player not PvP portion of this game even with the frame dips that occur they are momentary they are not an impediment to controlling the game and I found it very easy to play what I personally play the division on this hardware 110 dollar graphics card one hundred and ten dollar CPU yes I would now we're running at medium detail very playable if you want more framerate if you want the minimums to be higher you can always put it on low although it gets rid of a lot of the pretties don't try high high kills the framerate really fast on hardware of this level you'd want to step up the graphics cards just a bit if high is on your list of things to do the built-in benchmark at the top is still running I'll go ahead and let this finish before we switch to the results one quick comment I want to make some of you are going to notice the fan speed indicator on the gtx 1050 does not report the RPM only the percentage and it's only this card that does it my other cards do so that's just an error in the reporting the thirty-nine percent and thirty-eight percent you see on the top and bottom that's the fan speed of the card the fan is turning I assure you the fan is turning it just doesn't report an actual rpm whereas the AMD card does i also commented earlier in this video that neither of these cards are overclocked they're not this is exactly the out of the box performance that you get both of these cards will overclock five to ten percent more performance you can get somewhere in the 1400 megahertz range on the AMD card and somewhere in the eighteen to nineteen hundred megahertz range on the nvidia card if you want to manually overclock them a bit now here we are looking at the results 56 to 52 frames per second on the built in benchmark 55 to 54 frames per second average on the actual gameplay notice the red and the blue bars the red bars are the one percent minimum the blue bars are the point one percent minimum these look worse than they are if you are watching the live gameplay up there try to find those they are extremely momentary and very rare that's why I commented how playable it really was benchmark charts do not tell the tale which is why this video so long and why the actual game video is in here because if you look at these charts it's too easy is that playable it's completely playable no issues whatsoever that looks worse than it really is that leads us to our final game of this video we have Ghost Recon wildlands one of my favorite games of 2017 now I have commented this in other videos I mentioned that the Rison 3 launch review the built in benchmark does not necessarily reflect this game as well as it does in others I really do think the live game performance video shows a truer picture now at the low detail that we are running it's not as bad when I showed you the game performance videos on the rise in free launch video I commented at the time that the game was very rough now that was at very high detail with a gtx 1080p on which in fairness nobody is going to put onto a rise in 3 processor or you certainly shouldn't if you're thinking of doing that please don't when I played this again at low detail it is better but it still stutters a lot there's there's a lot of places in the game where the input lag is just dreadful that's the four core fourth red rising ship at work there please note that we are running overclocked to 3.8 gigahertz that's not the problem the lack of threads is the problem now if you look at the real-time performance at the bottom you'll say but we're not pegged at 99% no we're not and that's just a thing it doesn't always go up to 100% even when the CPU is fully busy you can either take my word for it or not but let me tell you the input lag is real on a four thread chip to be completely honest I don't recommend Ghost Recon wildlands on for thread chips that would include I 5s that would include the rise in freeze now rise in fives the rise in 5 14-hundred is an 8 thread chip and it does play better the i7 any of the i7 chips even a five-year-old i7 will play this much better than the i5 swill and I am speaking from experience there because I did play this and I did test this on the rise in v 1400 in the risin v 1500 X to the rise in to relaunch review much better much smoother same graphics card same details I think the experience was a much more pleasant experience but it doesn't show up in the benchmark charts if you look at the benchmark charts of my rise in 3 launch video it's very easy to go what in the world it looks okay the frame rate looks fine why is there a problem there is there really really is so if you want to play Triple A games into 2017 2018 2019 if you're buying a CPU today to last you three years I really think arisin five 1400 is the minimum you should buy you can get away with arisin three 1200 I understand some people are on very tight budgets and the benefit of the a m4 platform is that future upgrade ability AMD is promised to keep the a m4 socket and the motherboards for four years so through 2020 through a whole upgrade cycle you could buy a rise in three 1200 and live with it for now play the games maybe play older games or just accept the performance use it for a year or two and then be ready to upgrade Intel 10 tends to change their sockets on their motherboards every other year if you were to buy an AI 5 today you can't upgrade just the CPU in two years you have to replace the entire motherboard with Rison you don't you'll be able to upgrade to Zen - or Zen 3 AMD is working on the next generation already this isn't a secret that they've talked about that it's worth considering that that is definitely an advantage of the rising platform now if you're worried about whether that will come true I would like to point out that AMD kept their am-3 socket the one before a m4 for more than four years they have a track record going back more than 10 years of keeping their sockets through many generations not just two like Intel does so if you can't afford a faster CPU fear not wait a couple of years you'll be able to buy the next generation of rising chips drop it into your a m4 motherboard and get awesome new performance without having to change your whole computer now one more quick note regarding Ghost Recon wildlands you notice that we're playing at low detail if you want to see what this looks like played on rising processors at a higher quality setting go watch my rise in three launch video which is down in the description below that contains Ghost Recon with very high detail set on a GTX 1080p I again don't put that graphics card in here but you could do a gtx 1060 or rx 580 both excellent cards I've tested them both in Ghost Recon wildlands and the pass on my channel mouth not on horizon 3 I will when the RX 580 s coming back from normal stock I will come back and retest all of these games with an RX 580 versus a gtx 1060 and here you can see the benchmarks the top two lines again are the games built in benchmark 57 frames per second and 65 respectively looks great doesn't it even the live gameplay looks great 60 and 63 frames per second respectively and even the minimums aren't too bad 45 and 48 on the one percent minimum and 38 and 34 on the point one percent minimum that being said it's not the frame rate that's the issue with this game it's the input lag when you try to drive when you try to turn your vehicle there's an ever so slight delay between when you press the keys and one stuff happens that delay does not exist on the horizon 5 1400 and 1500 X it does not show up in the benchmark chart I've actually backed my brain how to show that in a video because it's something you really only experience when you're playing the game but I can absolutely feel a difference between playing between the rise and three and risin 5 that by the way is not true on the division and grand theft auto 5 both of those were completely controllable on the rise and three-chip it's really a Ghost Recon wildlands thing this is why I believe if you're buying a processor for the next three years it's an issue if you're only buying a processor to play today's game Rising 3 is great it'll play everything maybe except for this one just fine but if you're buying a chip to last you 3 years this will be a growing problem as games simply require more into 2018 and 2019 the best deal long term is probably the rise in 5 1600 but that's the topic for the rise and overview now here are all the averages on the 2 cards in all 9 games that I'm showing you now all the averages for the three games that I showed you live gameplay are from the games built in benchmark just to keep things even this way you don't have to scroll through the video to see what the average frame rate was between the cards you can see them all in one place the only real problem game in this list beside the comments I made on Ghost Recon is mankind divided because that's at low detail and it can't go any lower rise of the Tomb Raider and the division we're both at medium detail both could be turned down please note that you don't to use presets you can manually adjust them term one or two of the detail settings down rather than using presets those have room for adjustment but mankind divided was already at low everything else you can find something that's playable at one hundred and ten dollar card and so there you have it nine games tested on these two cards out of all of that do we have a solid conclusion is one of these cards absolutely better than the other not really same price and roughly the same performance there are as you saw games where the 1050 is faster but there's games where the RX 560 is faster and where you live or based upon mail-in rebate sales or discounts one of these cards may be a little bit less expensive and it might be the one you want to go with the truth of the matter is they are so close and performance if you were to setup two identical computers one with each of these cards not tell the person using it which one they're using and ask them to pick out the faster machine it would be very hard to tell in day-to-day use they're both excellent cards and I'm glad that we have this competition from AMD and NVIDIA to bring us this great performance like this video if you liked it share it
