      There isn't any reason they can't make a good IGPU as the technology is there if they choose to invest in it. They'll never be as good as a dedicated obviously, but it's still nice to have a decent onboard GPU if your card dies so you can keep working and playing while you wait for a new card.

    At least in tech it is usual to make inscriptions readable from below or from the right side. So you mounted the cooler the wrong way. And für the Molex powered fan: There was also a 3-Pin plug. I usually cut the extension wires to the Molex 4-Pin right at close as possible at the 3-Pin. So you get a normal 3-Pin Fan to connect to a board header.

      5600G and 5700G are awesome. But as a upgrade path it is just sad. Outside of the fact that 5600G might be even cheaper then 5600(nonx) it just aint right to put a dedicated GPU on a APU. Just no. Anyways AM5 might give us APU's that make low end GPU's pointless at last. But to buy a 5600G to then add a 7600xt or even 6700xt sounds like such a waste. Even the new AM5 CPU's makes more sense since the iGPU in them are not really for gaming yet gives the benefits of a backup graphics for troubleshooting. 5600G is not worth it if one can get a 5700x instead really.

    They have improved on the graphics side of their newer APU chips. I have a non gaming laptop that has a Ryzen 7 4700u and while the config involves a soldered 8gb ram stick, it plays a lot of games quite well. Mix settings obviously for some games, but was really impressed with it. I do have a gaming laptop now, but I still use the Ryzen laptop.

      @FranNyan Před rokem +4

      Microphone quality helps, as does having good sound dampening in the area you're recording in. Do some tests with what you got, figure out how to get your mic to best pick up *just* your voice and fiddle with the settings on your recording software. Most the time, editing the audio should only take the time to slap on the standard filters and edit out all the ums, stutters and verbal typos. (Source: Being on the webcast team at work. 80% of the sound improvement came from sound dampening and a microphone that didn't suck. Well worth looking into if you can)

      looks like the only real negative about that case is the breakoff slot covers, which are common on cheap cases (and have been for decades). That and sharp edges/thin metal. All are hallmarks of cheap. Though they've largely gotten away from sharp edges lately, I'm sure some bottom-tier cases still have this problem.

      I know this is kinda late, but it was to at least me obvious Dawid didn't know about the need to reserve RAM for the iGPU in BIOS. Also, you can reserve up to 16GB of RAM to the iGPU but that needs you to have at least 32GB of RAM. I can bet you that would have done a huge different since it is noticeable that only 1,9GB is used when playing. I have a Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G myself with 64GB of RAM and 16GB reserved for the iGPU, but I on the other hand don't play games. But there are many videos on youtube showing you what it looks like.

Also, I know everyone rags on the AMD RX 6500XT, I picked an ASRock one up for $150 and paired it with a Ryzen 7 2700X and a X370 MB, yes that is PCIe Gen 3, and it hits 120+ fps in every game I have tested at 1080p.
