The Ryzen 5 2400G changed budget gaming forever, but how's it holding up these days? 

Good price, still a great APU :)

My 2200g is still going strong too but I will be slowly upgrading the system over the course of next year

You Filthy Casual.... Gamer... J/K. That's an excellent use case! It probably runs those games very well. Though there is some satisfaction in being able to run a triple A game with humble hardware.

i used to use a build with this! lasted me for many years and now it serves as a useful home theatre pc - for 100$ really great value

@@BReal-10EC True, But I have a TDP of 65Watts in total which is very good compared to the performance. (I should have bought the 2400G but I hadnt enough money back then)

Yeah for sure

I have both a 4790 in my main rig & a 2400g in my ladies

@@SHGames97 probably the best x86 CPU of all time for longevity and overall performance. 2014 to 2022 and beyond.

I have an i7-10700 (non-k) and it is a total turd in comparison.

@@tyrkukulkan dang!!!! Thats awesome, I would've never guessed but it's never done me wrong in all these years. Thought I'd have to retire it when I upgraded from a GTX 970 to RX 6600. Seems like it gets A LOT from the new card so, thank you for the info I think I'll wait on upgrading CPU

Don't forget that with 58003dx and a beefy gpu down the line you can get terrific performance later

I have the same build and i like to upgrade to 5600g or 5600x, And im confused for what to with the current cpu? What u done with ur ryzen 3? Are keeping it or sold ?

@@ashikaliyar3951 I currently keeping it..might use it later on another build in the future

Awesome :)

I had a 2060 with mine, wont recommend...

@@NordicNjal now I have a 6600, still going strong. Could it be better? Yes, but will be only a small boost

@@ffffff52 Yea, the 2400g has its strength I replaced it with 5600x and built a new 2400g/RX470 pc for linux stuff, no need to not use a perfect cpu.

Very nice!

@@RandomGaminginHD thank you, do you think it's possible that team red might release an APU with RDNA graphics and make a new champion to the integrated game? We can only hope

im still using this apu in my pc with no gpu still plays everything i want at 1360x768p on my ips 1360x768 18.5inch 60hz monitor most games still look good even at low setting

Just as an FYI, I have already seen a test with an Intel iGPU on DDR5 RAM and the performance difference was exactly zero to DDR4. This is obviously down to Intel iGPUs still being glorified video rendering accelerators that cant even use the memory bandwidth they may or may not have access to, but it is still funny that Intel threw together an entire website advertising their chips for gaming down to even suggesting graphics settings for optimum framerates in even relatively modern titles. Even Battlefield 4, which isnt THAT new anymore needs 768p resolution on lowest settings according to them, so they do KNOW on some level, but marketing just keeps advertising their delusions about iGPU performance. I know Vega isnt near as bad in that regard and does benefit from OCed DDR4 RAM but unless there is a significant upgrade to architecture to RDNA2 or something like that I dont see it being able to benefit much from the memory bandwidth either as even OCing DDR4 RAM leads to diminishing returns on Vega chips.

hey, I got this chip on my mini pc, I'm getting 30-35fps on mw2. I'm looking to buy a mobo, with decent gpu to pair it with this cpu. what do u suggest. I'm on pretty tight budget so, new cpu rn is not an option the problem with mini pc is it got 180w psu so I just can't add gpu into it...

Yeah good point haha. Merry Xmas

Please keep that poor 3070 (even if its a FE lol) away from that little baby CPU. It deserves at least a Ryzen 3000 series 😁

@@zerocal76 it was only to test the cpu. I will be returning the 2700X to that rig shortly, or I do have a 3800X spare somewhere…

And then there are people like me who keep an Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT eco around for that purpose. (though I recently upgraded from my GTX 1060 3GB to an RX 6600 so the 1060 is now my first choice as a backup card, but the 9800 did come in handy a few times...)

@@builder396 I still have my RX 570 that I bought six months after building that Ryzen system as it was really cheap to pass up. I still have my old Radeon HD 6970 that was in the AMD FX system prior to the Ryzen build that I used up until 2019 and still works great but given the choice I wouldn't want to go back to that even though it still played a lot of my games at a good framerate and resolution but I like to keep my old parts around for nostalgia.

And you!

Yeah the 580 is still a great card too!

Great upgrade!

I was on a 2200g + 1650 super until I socketed a 5600x proc earlier this year. (Still on 1650 super gpu for now). Prior to the 1650 purchase I was on integrated. I can tell you from the proc upgrade that many titles with that 2200g +1650 combo were at least a little bit cpu bound. I can also tell you that going from 2200g integrated to 2200g+1650s showed that many titles were gpu bound by the 2200 integrated. (Which is to say, over both upgrade cycles performance improved) So it's a classic example of leapfrogging bottlenecks

@@gjits5307 nice I have a slight bottleneck with my CPU on my pc I have a ryzen 5 2600 and a rtx 3060 but I can't afford to upgrade my motherboard and CPU I only have a A320 board which already limits the speed my ram can run at

Did you ever test the integrated Vega 8 graphics versus the wx2100, or maybe even run them in Crossfire mode(if possible using that combo)?

@@jtenorj yeah, on the games I have compared get approx 10 FPS more on the wx2100. Not sure if you can run them in crossfire

Awesome, bet overclocking was a hit and miss experience!

Have you tried turning on TPM on bios? That was the requirement most systems were lacking for windows 11 and these ryzens all had inbuilt TPM.

@@kajurn791 I thought that I did, but it still insists this is not s supported CPU. Now, maybe it will make the "list" in time, but I hate to brick a perfectly good Windows 10 install for now.

Nope that's true

Not really . This CPU could run PS4 games at 720p low, and will continue to do so as long games for PS4 are released.

Whats up, I like the way you think with the OC-ing. Can u tell me what OC settings u use when running w stock cooler or not recommended like that?

@@zerocal76 - Stock cooler is fine since the thermals are fairly low (assuming your case breathes) but even a cheap cooler upgrade will be a huge improvement. --- CPU at 3.8 to 4 GHz perpetually is pretty easy. Voltage varies a lot from chip to chip though. 1.125v to 1.4v. If you have to go much higher than 1.4v to get stable then I'd back the clock off. You can push a fair bit harder with good power delivery (phases) but at that point why run an old/cheap APU? --- At the end of the day it's really only worth it if you already have a 2400G in a personal system or you're building budget systems and getting the parts really cheaply. Considering that you can get Ryzen 4500s as low as $70 brand new you have to beat that price by a lot given the large performance difference.

@@ghosttheoremproductions5469 Wellll I was thinking about running Halo MCC on it, maybe even Halo Infinite.. lol jk on the latter. I just bought this chip in a Lenovo Thinkcentre M725s SFF and if its anything like the Dell SFFs, the stock cooling is pretty damn good. It will be my entertainment console until I can build a proper PC (will be the 3rd build for the house so goin slow). Tbh I don't think I'll need to OC but might to get a few more fps out of the occassional MCC sesh. Thanks for the tips!

I was confused for a moment, why would somebody buy a PC with 6700XT and 960.. Then I realized

@@vinylSummer me too lol

its much better than intel's i3 or i5 from that time, 4c/4t 7th gen (like the 7400 or 7500) are horrible for gaming, 4c/8t 2400g is decent for many modern games, just isnt comparable to modern architectures

@@300maze Well yeah, but in comparison to 4/8 i7s in the 4000-7000 series it's still worse, Ryzens really seem to need a lot of L3 cache and APUs tend to be really cut back. You can still get by with it on non-demanding games at 60+ FPS or lock it to 30 with others which is still amazing for an APU.

@@TheEnhas its mostly comparable to stock haswell i7s, clock for clock its performs like a i7 4790k and it also got similar IPC to Haswell/Broadwell, it also clocks similarly out of the box

That’s a shame someone wrecked it :(

Same!

the RX 580 is a great super-budget card still!

Yeah, I have a 1500x and RX 570 and it still runs fine in most games

You can't go wrong with an RX 580, great value and plenty of power. However VEGA 56 is actually cheaper right now and twice the performance.

@@comradeklaymore Probably worth upgrading CPU to a RYZEN 5 3600, you will get more FPS out of that card.

@@SpaceGamblerJR Depending on the market it's 260-290€ here
