Ryzen 5 5600G vs 5600X - The Truth

If we're looking at a mid grade GPU like the RTX 3060 (which is not that impressive actually) the difference won't be much. Although, getting 100-200 fps on fortnite and "low" fps numbers in most of the benchmarks just won't be enough to force a realistic CPU bottleneck. Get games like Far Cry 5, Civilization VI, and maybe try to push like 100+ fps in all games, because the real difference always comes when the FPS targets are higher (this, in terms of CPU and RAM), and for "lower" FPS values almost any recent CPU will suffice

The PCIe 4.0 support that the X has, is huge future-proofing. If you can get the X within 50 dollars more of the G then it's definitely worth it to get the X, in my opinion... of course, the G also has GPU chip in it and for very basic gaming you would do even without a GPU then...

How's the Overcloking with the 5600G?

[@hitbm4755]

My best guess is that the performance difference was due to PCIe speed in Valorent, since I read in my MSI B450 Tomahawk manual that using an APU will limit the primary PCIe slot to x8 speed. In addition, I have recently tested this on a Intel P55 platform where performance is greatly impacted in some games when having two different GPUs in the system. Have you tried disabling the Vega graphics in the BIOS before doing this test? I am looking to get a 5600G due to having the Integrated Graphics as a backup.

[@Greenalex89]

I have the 5 5600g in a Msi b450 A max pro with a 6700xt and the gpu-z program says its using the "pciex 4.0 x16 @ pciex 3.0 x16". So im guessing the performance difference is based on the 4.0 to 3.0 since its tiny mostly.

[@arcticowl1091]

It has nothing to do with pcie speeds, and saying the pcie speed changes is just flat out wrong

[@hitbm4755]

@@arcticowl1091 a bit late to the party Owl, and no you are actually wrong, I have purchased a Ryzen 5 5600 instead of Ryzen 5 5600G and the PCIe multiplier and extra L3 Cache makes a major difference, I have first hand experience through multiple systems and actually the PCIe issue is mentioned in the manual of the MSI B450 Tomahawk. On top of that, AMD and Intel designed their last GPU architectures around Resizable Bar which makes a focus on using all the PCIe bandwidth instead of transfer rates less than 512MB/s and it makes quite the difference for AMD and a considerable difference for intel. intel even recommends not buying an ARC GPU if your motherboard cannot enable reBAR. Before you say I do not know what I am talking about, I have done a BSc in Computing a few years ago, so think before you accuse people of being flatout wrong. Modern games are constantly streaming textures between GPU/RAM/CPU and being PCIe limited shows as 100% GPU utilization but less power draw, I have tested this extensively between motherboards that allow full x16 versus x8 PCIe speeds and also between L3 Cache differences of variant CPUs.

I got a 5600g running in my home server . I have a blade server that's old as dirt . Dell powered r610 . It has dual 6 core 12 threads xeon chips so total is 12 core 24 threads . The 5600g is ten times better . But hey the blade makes for a good Plex server lol

I'm looking to upgrade my CPU (Ryzen 5 2400g) and pair it with a GTX 1660 Super. Which one should I choose?

[@AI.Musixia]

the biggest diffrent is pcie 3.0 vs 4.0 but at the end its only 2-4fps more or something :D

[@shihabuddinahmad7284]

Metro exudes supports dx12 multi GPU may be that increased FPS. RDR 2 supports Vulkan. May be this thing also supports multi GPU. Internal + dedicated.😅

[@pakistani9975]

thanks for choosing me G for the same performance almost in money.

[@mrljgibson]

I picked up a 5600G for $119 American, bargain, back home they are asking £256 for some crazy reason. Wish I'd bought more than that and the 32GB Ripjaw V 3600 memory for $89, but I got what I needed. Unfortunately the $216 graphics card had jumped up in price over a week and when I got home it was equally ludicrous. So it's a good job I bought an APU and can just jump between that and GPUs as required.

[@intermilan9731]

The GTX 1050 ti has the same price now that the Rx 570 had 4 years ago.

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

as expected clear win on multiplayer games

[@ADB-zf5zr]

What's the difference in other workloads apart from games, or is that not what this channel covers.? What about power consumption, that's a doddle to test under various usage patterns.

[@johnandrews9390]

Would the integrated graphics be better that a gtx 970? Looking to upgrade processor but don't know if I should use integrated or get the other processor and use my graphics card?

[@intermilan9731]

Nooooo lol. 970 is still a beast.

Currently at Amaz: G $125., non X $130, X $158...weird prices.

I feel offended seeing that single fan 3060. I tried so hard to get one for my velka 3 but gave up and got a 3070 and had to bump up the size of my case drastically.. rip SFF PC (great vid tho)

Nicely done.

You gave away your 3080 and now are using something inferior? Ok, props, & I'm subscribed.
