when I did my asrock desk mini review for you guys a lot of people were very curious about this the G 4500 with the HD 530 graphics onboard that's right pronounced with a H naught H so today I'm gonna be running some more tests people want to see if the HD 530 could play World of Warcraft Legion and also overwatch and I'll run that for you guys but I'm also going to test a single channel ddr4 memory stick versus in dual channel to see if it actually affects graphics performance and if so by how much what we attack CD this is Brian coming to you guys today with a video on the HD 530 graphics in the G 4500 now this is a cpu that honestly is pretty damn awesome for the money and it's actually surprising how far those HD graphics has come in years so the first test I did here was WOW Legion I booted it up 1080p settings with the graphics slider set to 2 and I was really shocked because this was actually a playable experience at 1080p even with the view distance set all the way to 10 I was getting a decent experience one that I could actually enjoy on this CPU if that was all I had for gaming though when I dropped down to 720p it was butter smooth so that was really good moving over to overwatch that was a similar story 1080p with the render scale set to 50% on all those settings I was getting around 40 to 60 frames per second dropping that down to 720p again increased those frame rates to a really smooth experience both experiences which I could handle if this was my only solution that I had so that we have it 1080p overwatch and wow Legion this CPU can definitely handle it now moving on to memory for single channel versus dual channel actually did a different test here where I took out one of the six of memory so essentially it's gonna be four gigabytes versus eight gigabytes but still I decided to boot up titles like League of Legends and csgo which essentially don't need more than four gigabytes of memory and so the first test here was League of Legends which was the pretty much the apples to apples because I went on the same Lane I had the same hero and what we saw here was a significant difference between single channel versus dual channel on the HD 530 graphics so that was a big eye-opener for me because it made a big difference the significant difference in my opinion and then we've gone to see us go it made a big difference in this game as well actually being the deciding factor between a choppy experience and a smooth experience so it's kind of interesting to see that if you're using the onboard graphics you'll definitely want to go with dual channel memory for the onboard HD graphics against skylake CPUs though as for the actual playable experience this thing handled those games absolutely fine and since it is the cheapest solution with the HD 530 graphics onboard that's the same gravity solution going in the 6700 C to 700 K I was really impressed with what this brings to the table especially when I compare it to like four years ago I remember building a PC back in 2012 I think it was where I was waiting for the GTX 670 to be released and I think it was 2011 man I forgot then it was a while ago but I had a 35 70 K and I remember I built that before the GTX 670 release because you know you should build your computers before big graphics card releases because the prices will go up off if the graphic card releases but that's another story for another day but I remember building that and then I was like yeah they're you know the 35 semi KS onboard graphics that should hold me out until the GTX 670 s is released and boy was I wrong it couldn't even play World of Warcraft at the lowest settings on the lowest resolution I was getting like 15 frames per second it was just complete nightmare was so choppy I could not enjoy this sometimes dipping down to like 8 or 7 fps it was an absolute joke needless to say nowadays the HD graphics you can actually play games on them reliably and competitively if you drop all these settings down to low I know a lot of people in the comment sections like Brian you should be playing a 720p of you're competitive with everything set to low and that's the funny thing this thing will get you good frame rates so there you have it guys HD 530 graphics are no joke nowadays and it's actually good to see this is a really good CPU I picked it up for like $50 second hand and then I chucked it in the desk mini so I can highly recommend it to someone who wants to set up something like a desk mini on a budget and have power savings there and just have something that's really portable sorry guys I hope you enjoyed this video if you did please hit that like button if there's any questions about the G 4500 and its onboard graphics still let me know in the comment section below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can anyway I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye cost box especially in something like this something like something like they did they did that yes so I can highly recommend it to someone who wants to set up something really small mini power conscious if that's even a word
