AMD Ryzen 5 5600G APU Review & Benchmarks: $260 CPU + GPU (vs. 5600X & More)

This is an APU where depending on what you are buying it for... Is either a good deal or a terrible deal.

CPU only in gaming:

5600X ($300) > 11400 ($182) > 5600G ($260) > 3600

CPU only in production:

5600X ($300) > 5600G ($260) > 11400 ($182) > 3600

iGPU in gaming :

5600G iGPU > CPU + 1030 >> Intel iGPU

So if you are buying this CPU as a stop gap until the GPU prices come down so you can buy one at MSRP and you have no plans to upgrade the CPU later down the line, it's a bad deal. Because if you are on a budget, the difference in getting the intel i5 11400 vs 5600G is the difference between getting a 3060 and a 3060 Ti. You know... The difference between getting a 2060 Super vs a 2080 Super... But if you are getting this as a low spec gamer situation or if you are getting this for now and may want to upgrade to a more powerful CPU later down the line as it gives you the option of upgrading up to 16 cores 32 threads + Zen 3 Vcache. Then this would be a good deal.

Overall, I don't like the price. There is a significant performance gap between a 5600x and this looses to a 11400 in gaming when there is a powerful GPU involved.

NVIDIA DLSS 2.2 Quietly Released in Rainbow Six Siege, Can Be Manually Added to Other Games for Several Improvements

Looks like they fixed the ghosting issue with this update! And most likely, it will be added as a driver update for other games like Death Stranding. One day, this might actually be as good as native at all times!

DLSS 2.1:

DLSS 2.2:

Can't wait until DF gets their hands on this as well!

Stop releasing quad core H series CPUs for notebooks intel. No one wants it!
