what's going on guys welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing well so AMD recently launched their Rison 3 lineup which is a budget oriented CPUs positioned to compete pretty much with Intel's Core i3 family and we're going to be taking a look at two of the new SKUs today actually the only two SKUs that are currently available within Rison 3 the 1200 and the 1300 x the 1300 x being priced at $130 retail and the 1200 slightly lower at 110 spec wise they're very similar to each other they're both native quad cores with no SMT so there's only 4 threads on each chip and they both have the same 65 watt TDP where they really differ in terms of specifications is the bass boost and XF are frequencies that they ship with with the 1300 X of course being slightly higher of course I was able to overclock both of them to 3.9 gigahertz no problem without touching the B core voltage in any way so that's really nice so one of the things we're going to be looking at today is whether or not there's any sort of in-game performance difference between the 1200 and the 1300 X in case you were curious about Reisen 3 and interested in purchasing one of those chips is the extra $20 worth it for 1,300 X's if you're primarily going to be using these chips for gaming we'll be taking a look at that but primarily the focus of today is to see how much GPU horsepower these chips can actually handle before we hit a CPU bottleneck and you get hit with essentially heavy diminishing returns obviously if we pair to GTX 1080i with this with these you know sub $150 CPUs theoretically that would cripple our GPUs performance so much to the point where it wouldn't even be worth the premium price that we're paying for it so we're going to be taking a look at 6 different cards today 6 different graphics cards being paired with both the 1200 and the 1300 X so it should be pretty interesting we've got a pretty nice lineup going from the msi gtx 1050 TI the asus strix RX 570 a power color Red Devil rx 580 a GTX 1060 founder's edition gtx 1070 founder's Edition and lastly an EVGA GTX 1080 for the win a very nice range of current gen graphics cards all of which will be running overclocked for today's tests including both of our CPUs those are each going to be running at 3.9 gigahertz so an identical frequency again giving us a nice apples to apples comparison to see if there really is any performance difference in games between these two chips other testing hardware that we've got on the board here include an Asus Prime be 350 plus motherboard but the latest driver I'm sorry BIOS that was just updated a couple days ago to the latest version we've also got 8 gigs at the dual channel kit of Ripjaws 5 ddr4 at 29 33 it's actually natively a 2800 kit but I overclocked it in the BIOS to 29 33 that's running stable we've also got a hellfire m2 SSD nvme drive from patriot as well as this HX 750 watt power supply from corsair it's actually outside of the case right now because the power supply that's in there doesn't have quite enough wattage to drive the higher-end graphics cards it's definitely an eyesore but it shouldn't affect our results today we'll be testing five triple-a titles in 1920 by 1080 that's the only resolution we're testing today just to help us spot any CPU bottlenecking that might occur will also of course be using the latest drivers from both GPU camps so on that note let's go ahead and take a look at our benchmarks diving right in with ashes of the singularity we can see our rising three processors scaled pretty nicely all the way up to the GTX 1060 at which point anything past that results in a massive CPU bottleneck and we pretty much don't get any additional performance even though you're forking out quite a bit more cash for a GTX 1070 or 1080 rising three teams to pair really nicely with the GTX 1060 here giving us a 27% boost in average frame rates over the GTX 1050 Ti and the RX 570 you can also see here that there's virtually no performance difference between the 1200 and the 1300 X when paired with the same GPUs and we'll see if this trend continues in the other titles in Doom we see some nice incremental scaling from our entry-level GPUs and then a whopping landslide with the GTX 1060 scoring over 66% higher performance than the GTX 1050 Ti at 120 frames per second additionally unlike ashes of the singularity there's still some performance to be had here above the GTX 1060 you can see we've actually scored 21% higher with the gtx 1070 over 1060 when paired with either Rison 3 CPU until eventually we get stonewalled by the GTX 1080 as we see no additional performance increase at that point as a little side note we are testing doom in OpenGL which might explain why the GTX 1050 Ti is edging out the RX 580 and 570 if we were to switch over to Vulcan perhaps we might see the tides turn but that's of course a topic for another video here again we're seeing very little performance difference between the risin three CPUs regardless of which GPU were pairing with them whether it be on the low end or high end it seems like the 1200 is giving the 1300 ex a run for its money when it comes to gaming performance GTA 5 a heavily CPU intensive game shows us results similar to what we saw with ashes of the singularity with the GTX 1060 seeming to be the highest graphics card we should be pairing with Rison 3 anything above that just becomes an utter waste the GTX 1060 performs 19 percent better on average than the rx 580 and the GTX 1050 Ti in Metro last light we see some impressive games with the rx 570 performing 35% better on average than the GTX 1050 Ti and then of course the rx 580 outperforming the rx 570 by about 8.4 percent the GTX 1060 outperforms the rx 580 by a very slight margin of course this isn't an indication of a CPU bottleneck by any means because these cards are just naturally around the same performance when given a strong CPU of course when we get to the gtx 1070 we're only outperforming the much less expensive 1060 by about 5% and this equates to some serious diminishing returns when you factor in the price difference between these two geforce cards finally in watchdogs 2 we see some pretty nice scaling going from the 1050 Ti to the rx 570 to the RX 580 the 580 performing 16% better on average than the rx 570 we've also got a 7.5 percent bump with our gtx 1070 over the gtx 1060 which isn't quite as slight as we saw in metro but still not really enough to justify spending that much more on a gtx 1070 on average it seems the gtx 1060 and the RX 580 are about as fast as you want to go when it comes to pairing a GPU with Rison 3 of course they're going to be exceptions like doom where a GTX 10 is going to provide a significant performance benefit over something like a GTX 1060 but those instances seem to be few and far between and if you really want the best bang for your buck and you're going to be playing a variety of games I would say keep it to a gtx 1060 or below we're seeing some pretty solid performance even all the way down to the gtx 1050 P I of course these are Triple A titles they're very demanding as is and still rising three paired with a sub 150 dollar GPU is able to keep its head above water in most of these titles assuming you're willing to sacrifice a bit of eye candy on a final note it appears that when clocked at the same core frequency there's little to no performance difference in game between the 1200 and the 1300 X based on these results it seems to make more sense to just go for the 1200 over the 1300 X pocket that extra 20 bucks or put it towards a faster graphics card in your system for example and at the end of the day you'll still be getting pretty much the same results across the board again if you're gaming I can't really speak on behalf of other tasks besides gaming because that's all we're testing today but if that's all you're doing with your system then the 1200 seems to be a great bang for the buck option and actually really seems to be the better buy over the 1300 X when it comes to price to performance so there it is guys overall Rison 3 is stacking up to be a pretty solid contender in the budget Desktop CPU space and honestly looking forward to testing it straight against some core i3 products in the very near future so stay tuned for that just to quickly reiterate if you're just gaming I would suggest going with a 1200 over a 1300 X simply because from the results we're seeing today there simply is just no performance difference between each of those chips as long as you're overclocking your 1200 you can get it to again three point nine very easily without even touching the voltage it's super easy it takes two seconds from the BIOS to do so and you'll save 20 bucks at the end of the day additionally I wouldn't pair anything faster than a GTX 1060 or an rx 580 with Rison 3 regardless of which chip you're going with anything past that point you're pretty much going to be spending a lot of money for very little performance benefits in the majority of games so hopefully that clarifies some things and hopefully you don't mind how brief and to the point this video was I tried to keep it short because a life update alert I'm actually in the process of moving every tech thing that I owe into a new studio I'm actually going to be moving it with whyphy sauce tomorrow actually take a look at this take a look take take a look this is my product shelf that's usually just you know stacked to the ceiling with products it's almost virtually empty let's see what's going on over here let's see what the wipey sauces up to in the living room whoa hey how's it going oh there's a cat well you look like I just walked in on you like doing the nasty or something you look so guilty what did you do what have you been up to you little scamp so you can see it's just utter chaos right now I'm glad she's enjoying yourself while she's working but she's been packing up stuff pretty much all day Wow look at those boxes over there holy moly so we've got a lot more work to do and it's going to be really exciting though once we're all moved in there will be a vlog a moving vlog coming very soon so stay tuned for that as well I haven't done a vlog in a while so that should be fun until then I'm going to get out of your hair now guys so thank you so
