hey there welcome back to harbor unboxed for this video i will be once again revisiting intel's wallet-friendly pentium g 4560 processor and if you missed it last week I did already check this process around and I compared it against the core i3 i5 and i7 processors in well over a dozen games at 1080p and 1440p the key to that benchmark video was the use of multiple different graphics cards for testing each CPU I did use the geforce gtx 1050 TI gtx 1060 and gtx 1080 this gave us a really good idea of how these CPUs game when paired with different tiered GPUs and the results were very interesting the feedback I received from that video was overwhelmingly positive so big thank you to everyone who offered support their only negative or rather constructive criticism that I received how to do with the lack of AMD GPUs used for testing and I get that the reason I went with the 1050 TI 1016 tay is because they're all current generation products that cover a number of different performance segments testing with say the rx 460 I Explorer 18 fury X for example just wouldn't provide the same range of performance the fury X really is the weakness here throwing in the RX 480 or Arc's 470 along with the Nvidia based GPUs would have made for far more results and I can show on the screen that's that I agree as the best sub $200 G for you testing our Explorer 70 really is a must therefore I've gone back and tested the RX 470 with the G 45 60 as well as the core i3 i5 and i7 processors the GTX 1080 has been dropped from the results to make way for the RX 470 which will be compared alongside the previously tested gtx 1050 TI and 1064 now the g 45 60 looks to be by far the best entry-level cpu available so pairing it with what we believe to be the best sub $200 GPU in the RX 470 should make for the ultimate gaming combo that said many of you did express concerns in regards to AMD's DirectX 11 driver overhead and feared this could be an issue for the G 45 so let's find out right away we get off to a bit of a rocky start with rise of the Tomb Raider here the G 4560 really struggle with the RX 470 installed although the average frame rate looks good the performance was very stuttering and this is evident by that very low 22 FPS minimum this test was run half a dozen times and every time the minimum frame rate was very low bumping the resolution up to 1440p didn't really help out the G 4560 with the RX 470 and again we see horribly low minimum frame rates this is a really bad start but as you're about to see it's far from the norm and I'm still not clear why the combo struggled so much and rise with the Tomb Raider previously we found that Far Cry primal wasn't at all CPU intensive and this is again true when using the rx 470 we saw the same 44 FPS minimum and 55 FPS average across all four CPUs tested before 1040 P results were again much the same the G 45 60 does 4 1 FPS behind the other processes with the rx 470 though that figure is of course well within the margin of error the division can be quite CPU intensive at times but even so the RX 470 provides similar performance to the GTX 1060 when paired with the Pentium G 45 60 at 1080p again we find much the same when looking at the 1440p result here the G 45 60 was able to max out the RX 470 the G 45 60 performs well and hitman when paired with the RX 470 and here we see similar margins to the GTX 1060 results the core i5 and i7 processors do deliver better performance at 1080p but with the G 45 60 averaging 60 fps and staying above 50 FPS the performance was very acceptable a heavy GPU bottleneck can be seen at 1440p and here the G 45 60 is able to match or at least roughly match the more expensive processes when paired with both the rx 470 and GTX 1060 graphics cards the pentium g 45 60 wasn't quite powerful enough to fully utilize the gtx 1060 in quantum break eternity v as it fell down a 62 FPS at times that said this processor was much more competitive with the RX 470 in this title as the minimum frame rate was just 5% lower than that of the core i5 and core i7 processors oddly at 1440p the g 45 60 did fall away a bit more with the RX 470 in relation to the Core i5 and core seven processes and here it was 10% slow and comparing the minimum frame rate the RX 470 looks to be the perfect pairing for the G 45 60 and overwatch here the budget combo never dipped below 100 FPS while providing an average of 134 FPS that made the G 45 60 just 9% slower than the core i7 6700k for both the minimum and average frame rates the 1440p results are a bit interesting because all four CPUs were able to max out the gtx 1060 the same wasn't true for the swallow RX 4 70 that said the margins weren't exactly significant in the g 45 60 still remained very competitive the g 45 60 performed very well with the RX 470 and doom though we do know this to be a primarily GPU intensive title still the results at 1080p were impressive at was great to see the G 45 60 /rx 470 combo pushing over 130 FPS at all times interestingly this is the second time we've seen the G 45 60 RX 470 combo follow a slightly more at 1440p again the margin wasn't significant but this was still unexpected the total war warhammer results are very interesting indeed here we find that not only the G 45 60 but also the core i3 73 50k and Core i5 7600 K performed better with the RX 470 than they did with the gtx 1060 the g 45 60 gains were particularly large with the minimum frame rate 25% higher with the RX 4 70 moving to 1440p provides mixed results here the G 45 60 still played best with the RX 4 70 to spot a lower average frame rate that is of course down to the fact that the minimum frame rate was 40% higher meanwhile the core i3 i5 and i7 processors deliver similar performance with both GPUs the G 45 60 was fast enough to max out the rx 470 and Mirror's Edge catalyst at aap matching the 54 FPS minimum and 64 FPS average of the other processors tested as expected we find the same as short 1440p here the G 45 60 averaged 41 FPS with a 36 FPS minimum allowing it to match the other CPUs tested interestingly the G 45 60 again played better with the rx 470 than it did with the gtx 1060 this time in f1 2016 the minimum frame rate was a whopping 19 percent greater while the average was also eighteen percent greater these are very surprising results but it's great news for the G 4560 and the RX 470 combo increasing the resolution or 1440p we find similar results between the RX 470 and gtx 1060 when paired with the g4 560 overall Intel's new budget dual core performed very well here the Deus Ex mankind divided margins are similar when using the G 4560 with e to the RX 470 or gtx 1060 of course we are using a low-level api here so these results are pretty much what we were expecting to find moving a 1440p the RX 470 is completely maxed out using the very high quality settings and this meant the G 4560 match the other three processors tested the G 45 60 was 7% slower than the core i3 processor when paired with the geforce gtx 1060 in battlefield 1 the margin was extended as 12% with the RX 470 and the dual core Pentium processor dropped 253 FPS bumping the resolution up to 1440p neutralized the performance advantage of the more expensive Intel processors when using the RX 470 here all four tested processors averaged 57 FPS with a 48 FPS minimum testing the Mafia 3 shows the G 45 60 maxing out the rx 470 at 1080p with a minimum of 36 fps and an average of 42 fps jumping to 1440p provides similar results and here the RX 470 dips down at 25 FPS on all four CPUs gives a vol 4 is a very CPU demanding game and here the G 45 60 was found to be 17% slower than the core i7 processor when using the rs4 70 that said it was 30% slower one pair with the gtx 1060 so a definite improvement then moving a 1440p the g 45 60 was pretty well able to get the most out of the RX 470 with an average of 47 FPS and a minimum of 39 FPS the pentium g 45 60 performed very well when testing with titanfall 2 and at 1080p it was roughly able to match the other cpus tested this was also at 1440p here the g 45 60 RX 4 70 , averaged 64 FPS with a 57 FPS minimum the G 45 60 delivered similar performance with the rx 470 as it did when paired with the GTX 1060 in civilization 6 this man is a good bit slower than the other processors tested despite still delivering playable performance even at 1440p the G 4560 lags behind that said was the Rx for seven installed the minimum frame rate didn't take the same hit only dropping down to 37 fps the RX 470 and G 45 60 combo performs well when testing with Call of Duty infinite warfare and here it wasn't a great deal slower than the Core i5 and core i7 processors those margins seen at an EP were eliminated a 1440p and here all four processes allow for 49 FPS minimum with a 52 FPS average okay so we're done and dusted 17 games from 2016 now tested nothing else to see them how I almost forgot Grand Theft Auto 5 due to popular demand I have updated the results with this two year old title and I have to admit it makes sense given not just how popular the game is but also how CPU demanding it is using the high quality settings with MSAA and advanced graphical options disabled we were for the most part removing any GPU bottlenecks therefore if you were to crank up the visual quality settings a bit more these margins would likely be reduced what's key to note here is that with any of the three GPU configurations tested the G 45 60 provided smooth playable performance and frame rates never dip below 60 FPS jumping the 1440p we can see that the margins within the dual-core and quad-core processors is slightly reduced again the G 45 60 allowed for at least 60 FPS at all times the penny of G 45 60 and rx 470 looked to be a match made in heaven for budget PC gamers the combo costs just 235 dollars u.s. or 360 ozzie and that enables some very impressive ke pede gaming performance and honestly 1440p performance is also on the table so let's take a look at how the G 45 60 compares with the rx 470 the GTX 1060 and the gtx 750ti okay we can see that the G 45 60 dropped just 5% when going from the GTX 1060 to the RX 470 meanwhile it was 24% faster with the rx 470 when compared to the GTX 1050 TI now when compared to the core i5 7600 K for example the G 45 60 was 20% slower when compared with the GTX 1060 that said that margin was slightly reduced with the rx 470 down to 17 percent so the i5 7600 is clearly able to get quite a bit more out of the RX 470 in these cpu-intensive titles that said prices almost four times more it's not exactly a significant loss for the budget dual-core processor anyway what we are seeing here is without question the worst case scenario for the G 4560 when paired with either the rx 470 or GTX 1060 graphics cards so then what do these results look like if we compare the minimum frame rate from all 18 games tested as in not excluding those GPU limited titles such as Far Cry primal for example including the non CPU intensive games doesn't significantly change the picture but it does reduce the margin between the G 4560 and the higher-end Core i5 and i7 processors as we expected we see rx 470 handling the rendering work the G 45 60 is now just 13% slower than the core i5 7600 K the G 45 60 might not have quite enough grunt to fully utilize the rx 470 and every game out there but even where it struggles we still received perfectly playable performance in almost every title anyway in fact the only exception was rise of the Tomb Raider out of the 18 games tested and I'm still not quite sure what the issue there is anyway bang for your buck when it comes to new PC how are nothing in my opinion beats the G 45 16 our x4 70 combo hopefully you want to happy with the testing that's been done here and by adding those GTA 5 results that'll get me out of trouble if so consider hitting the
