welcome back to our unboxed right now we're getting all excited about AMD's Raven Ridge desktop AP using with good reason well they should be very good but we won't know officially for a few more days yet in preparation for some of our coverage we've spent a huge amount of time retesting a number of CPU and GPU combinations to such combinations include the horizon 3 1300 X in the core i3 8100 both of which have been tested with the GeForce GT 10:30 and Radeon rx 550 I felt the results were worth analyzing separately and I figured quite a few of you would probably agree with me and be interested in taking a look so I thought let's do that I've also thrown in the G 45 60 but it's only been tested with the GT 1030 but again I figured you'd appreciate seeing those results so I've included them in total there are nine games that have been tested and we've done so at 720p and 1080p using playable settings so not necessarily competitive settings for the eSports titles but playable settings all the same please note the core i3 8100 that was tested using ddr4 2400 memory because it's a locked part while the Rison 3 1300 X was tested with 3200 memory as it's an unlocked CPU though I should note there is no overclocking featured in this video on the CPU side then finally the G 45 60 was paired with ddr4 2133 memory as that is the fastest memory you can pair this processor with on a non overclocking motherboard right then let's get to the results first up we have pub G at 720p using the low quality preset and this is allowed for over 60 FPS on average for all the tested configurations using the rx 550 and GT 1060 performance wise both GPUs did deliver a similar experience and we can see the dual chord G 45 60 hanging in there quite well with the newer quad cores then at 1080p we see the GT 1030 providing slightly better results with the Intel CPUs though when testing both GPUs with the Rison 3 1300 X we do see similar results that said neither allowed for optimal performance frame rates in the 40s of course it was playable just not that desirable next up we have fortnight Battle Royale and here we see the rx 550 is a little bit slower when paired with the core i3 8100 a pose to the GT 1030 we see a small margin for the 1% low results with the rise in three 1300 X but the average frame rate with both GPUs was the same then we have the G 45 60 which does very well pulling ahead of the core i3 8100 though I should note the results are within the margin of error and remember this is a multiplayer title and although the results are based on an average of three runs the margin of error is higher than that of more controlled single player titles then it's an EPS the Rison three 1300 ex that sees the RX 554 behind though we also see this with de core i3 8100 but to a lesser degree particularly when looking at the 1% lo results again the G 4560 does very well delivering comparable performance to that of the core i3 8100 moving on we have the csgo results and this title is simply better optimized for Intel hardware we can certainly see that here the rise in 3 1300 X puts forth a respectable effort but the core i3 8100 was at least 40% faster when comparing the 1% low results that said the Radeon rx 550 does appear to have the edge over the GeForce GT 1030 in this title and the r3 1300 X while they want to beat the Pentium G 4560 then once we move to Tony P this strongly favors the rx 550 an out up to 13% faster than the GT 1030 the margin between the r3 1,300 X and I 381 here is pretty much neutralized due to the GPU bottleneck this has also allowed the G 4560 to catch up overwatch heavily taxes both the CPU and GPU during our bot match and here we see risin taking a commanding lead the 1300 X stormed ahead offering significantly better 1% low performance particularly in power of the rx 550 which proved to be a superior GPU when using the medium quality preset at 720p meanwhile the core i3 8100 saw much lower frame dips and created a bottleneck that almost eliminated any performance difference between the two GPUs interestingly the dual called G 4560 also wasn't much slow in the core i3 8100 here if I decide say the higher clocked ddr4 memory is giving the rise in 3 1300 X an advantage in this time even at 1080p the r3 1300 ex remains strong and while the margins are closer it still pulls ahead nicely with the rx 550 installed the rx 550 also proved to be 10% faster than the GT 1030 next up we're chasing a giant ball or maybe it's a small ball and we're using Hot Wheels cars either way what we have here is rocket League if you want to play rocket League at higher frame rates then the rx 550 looks to be the graphics card to get I'm not sure what's holding back the GT 1030 here but as you can see it is significantly slower even at IEP the margins still quite large and we did see this last year when comparing the two at 1080p using the low and high quality presets interestingly the r3 1300 X does quite poorly with the GT 1030 while it's very strong with the rx 550 so that's something to be aware of as well moving on we have dota 2 and this title looks to be best played using intel hardware here the core i3 8100 was considerably faster for both the average and 1% low figures even the G 4560 managed to edge out the rise and CP and offered far better 1% lower results interestingly the GT 1030 was much faster than the rx 550 with the i3 8100 but slightly slower when paired with the rise and 3 processor then a turnip here we find a coming together of the results though things are still a bit mixed here mostly when looking at the rise and three 1300 acts the GT 1030 was 10% faster for the average about 8% sly for the 1% low result meanwhile the G 45 60 basically matched the core i3 8100 here we have another game with the rx 550 is vastly superior to the GT 1030 over 20% faster in fact for budget gamers wanting to play Rainbow six siege it looks like Intel CPUs with AMD GPUs is the way to go that said the horizon 3 1300 X does do quite well with the rx 550 similar margins are seen at 1080p here the GT 1030 limits all three CPUs to a similar average and minimum frame rate the horizon 3 1300 X is also able to get the most out of the rx 550 the second last game I've tested a Star Wars Battlefront 2 and here the rx 550 was slightly faster than the GT 1030 the core i3 8100 was also 12 to 16 percent fast and the Rison 3 1,300 apparently 1% lower results that said the rise in CP was world's better than the Pentium G 45 60 fill at 1080p the rx 550 remain comfortably ahead using either CPU and now the rise and three 1300 X is able to match the core i3 8100 as we are GPU limited here that said this situation didn't afford the G 45 60 the ability to catch up then finally for the AMD fans were wrapping things up with Wolfenstein - the new Colossus and this one's gone pretty much as expected even at 720p the GT 1030 is overwhelmed even with the low quality preset enabled here it can't even deliver 60 FPS on average the GT 1030 obviously shouldn't be this much slower than the rx 550 but I've triple-checked the results and they are accurate which is why I'm confident enough to show them to you guys I tried disabling acing compute with the GT 1030 but that didn't really help at all so Wolfenstein fans will obviously want a Radeon graphics card and the choice of CPU doesn't really appear to matter all that much and this isn't that uncommon with Vulcan based titles moving Itali pcs the GT 1030 unable to deliver play performances frame rates often dip below 30fps the rx 550 on the other hand was able to push over 50 FPS at all times when paired with the core i3 8100 which provided the best results every time I do these budget benchmark videos I always find myself coming away quite impressed with the performance that can be had granted with newer titles you have to play at lower resolutions with lower settings but I don't suspect many budget gamers will be surprised by this and really the experience is still a lot of fun particularly in titles such as dota 2 csgo fortnight and overwatch although both GPUs and CPUs test to provide a playable performance for the most part particularly at 720p it was very much game dependant as to which combination offered the best result for csgo we found that ideally gamers will want an Intel quad core the GPU choice though that didn't really seem to matter though Nvidia did have a slight edge here dota 2 also played best with Intel and NVIDIA Hardware that said though overwatch played noticeably better with the Rison three 1300 X and rx 550 combo it was also interesting to note the 1300 X performance better with the rx 550 entail such as dota 2 and puppy whereas the opposite true for the core i3 processor the only games to show outrageous margins included rocket League and Wolfenstein 2 rocket League much preferred the rx 550 over the GT 1030 and this was also true for when Stein - the rx 550 was also a good bit faster Rainbow six siege as well overall though a great experience that we had with either quad core CPU and of course I'm very keen to see how AMD's new Rison 320 200 G and Rison 520 400 G build upon this and what they have to offer for budget gamers and of course that will be happening in a few days time for now though it's back to benchmarking but I hope
