Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate — No GPU Required @ 1080p — R7 5700G w/ Integrated Graphics”.
Hello and welcome to bite size, tech, i’m your host, rogue and today a word from our sponsor crypto.com home of the visa card that pays up to eight percent in rewards and the app that pays you up to 14 annually on your crypto stake join more than 10 million users on the world’s fastest growing crypto app as you trade, with confidence on the world’s fastest and most secure crypto exchange tech has more information and a special sign up offer at the end of this video, hello and welcome to tech deals. This is assassin’s. Creed syndicate not valhalla, not odyssey, not even origins. This game is now six years old launching october of 2015.
You would be right to ask why on earth are we benchmarking, assassin’s creed, syndicate in 2021? In fact, almost 2022, as i’m recording this and the simple answer is, if you will feast your eyes to either the thumbnail or title of the video, which i hope you looked at before you clicked on it. But on the off chance you didn’t. We are running the ryzen 7 5700 g with integrated radeon, graphics, otherwise known as vega 8, but now called radeon graphics, because that sounds better than vega 8..
We are running at 1080p low detail. We could run this at 720p low and get closer to 60 frames per second, but i’m doing all my testing at 1080p because i think in 2021 1080p is kind of sort of the bottom resolution. I think most people want to see at this point. If you disagree with me, let me know in the comment section down below: there is no dedicated graphics card running whatsoever. We are purely running off the graphics built into the ryzen apu. Now the 5700g recently launched it has eight zen three cores. So it’s really just a slightly slower version of the ryzen 7 5800 x itself. A phenomenally good gaming processor, slightly lower clock speed a little minor adjustments to the features it has pcx press three instead of pci express four eight lanes instead of 16, not a huge deal, and certainly, if you’re, using integrated graphics, none of those matter, and they don’t Matter if you’re going to later add a dedicated graphics card such as a 30 60 or 30 70., something mid-range, reasonably modest or perhaps a 6600 xt 6700 xt. None of the differences between this and a 5800x will matter now. If you plan to put in an rtx 3090 or a rx, 6900 xt, well yeah it some of those limitations might start to matter, but they don’t matter for almost everything, but the very very top end. Now, if you look at the real-time frame rates on the upper left-hand corner, there are three white numbers up there. I want to draw your attention to if you’ve watched a bunch of my videos in the past.
You already know what those mean, but on the off chance, some of you are new here or you came across this or you’re interested and you’re not used to my benchmarking, filming and recording style. Allow me to explain the left number is the real-time frame rate. That’S what we’re getting at the moment.
It’S updated once per second we’re currently at 39 frames per second 37, 40, etc. The middle white number is the rolling average frame rate since i started this benchmark 34 frames per second. Is the average we’ve gotten now throughout the benchmark? That number will adjust a little bit, but once you’ve played for a few minutes, usually it doesn’t move too much unless you go to a new area or start doing something completely new.
The right most white number, the 25 frames per second – is the one percent low, which is referred to as the 99th percentile by some other reviewers. Essentially, what that means is that 99 of the time you will get at least 25 frames per second, with only one percent of the frame rates, or rather more appropriately, the frame times falling below that 25 frame per second mark. The graph that you see beneath those numbers, the ones there’s just a couple of small spikes right. There currently says: 31 milliseconds 34 milliseconds 29 milliseconds.
That is the frame time graph. Essentially, what that’s doing is showing how much time is between each frame rather than a frame rate, there’s a thousand milliseconds, and so, if you divide a thousand into 30, then well you’re gon na get about where we’re at right now, 16 milliseconds would be 60 frames Per second and so on, so the lower the milliseconds, the higher the frame rate. But that’s not why there’s a graph? The reason why there’s a graph is for smoothness if that graph has tons of spikes in it. If it’s, if it basically looks like a like a scraggly line, a very, very messy line, then you have a very unsmooth game, with frame rates all over the place, jumping from 20 to 30 to 40 to 50 to 60 and back again, and it’s a very Uneven experience, what you’re looking at right now is a very smooth experience.
Now it’s not fast 30 frames per second is not considered great by a lot of pc gaming enthusiasts here in 2021. It was 25 years ago, but that was 25 years ago. But what we’ve got here is a very smooth game, and one of the reasons why we have a smooth game is the fact that we’ve got an eight cores, n3 cpu and that cpu is doing wonders and we don’t need the eight cores. Four or six cores would be enough, but that’s what we have on this chip, but what we have a really really good course. The zen three cores are incredibly fast, very low, latency, very fast memory access. They are very well optimized, and thus it gives us a very, very smooth experience in this game. If we had a first generation, ryzen apu with the zen one or the zen plus cores, it wouldn’t be quite as smooth, because those cpus have more latency built in the cache and memory access have a slower access time, etc.
So we get an amazing cpu and, to be completely blunt, a rather lackluster integrated, graphics chip. I will remind you: this is a six year old game at low detail at 30 frames per second. However, if you tried to run this on intel’s integrated graphics, it basically wouldn’t function at all, so at least there’s that to consider this is the fifth game that i have benchmarked on this apu and i have a bunch more coming now. I will not publish them all as individual videos like this. Most of the games will be shown as a single video with 35 games tested.
Yes, you heard me right, i have 35 games tested. Most of them will simply be shown with either a small snippet of footage or no footage at all and simply charts. The reason why i’m publishing a few of the games like this is a to show. You live gameplay b, to show you the real time frame rates c, to show you the real time frame, graph and d, to give you a chance to sort of hear the explanation behind all of this without me, making the 35 game video 35 minutes long, i’m Gon na try to make that video under 20 minutes long, we will see how well i do. I have not filmed it yet. When you watch a video like this, you can see something that frame rate graphs. Do not tell you if i simply published a chart that said assassin’s, creed, syndicated, 1080p, low detail gets 33 frames per second average and 25 frames per second one percent low. You might very well come to the conclusion. Oh well, that’s not playable! Then that’s awful 25 frames per second one percent low. What a mess who’d want to play that all right! That’S garbage! Well, here’s the thing you’re watching the game being played you’re looking at the frame time graph – and i will tell you this – was completely playable.
It wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t as fast as i’d like 60 frames per second would be better. You certainly could do 720p low if you want to get there. This was very smooth and playable. If you do not have the budget for a dedicated graphics card right now – and you want to know, can i play triple a games at 1080p resolution at some detail setting at a reasonably playable frame rate? The answer is yes, you just have to make sure that those aaa games are not new games, they are older games. This is multiple assassins, creeds old. At this point, if you tried to run assassin’s creed valhalla on this, it would just be a sad slideshow.
It simply would not be functional and so we’re looking at older games, because, if you don’t have the budget for dedicated graphics card, might suggest that you also probably don’t want to go out and spend 60 to 120 on every brand new aaa game that exists. After all, it gets very expensive buying the game, so they first come out, but assassin’s creed syndicate has been available for next to nothing multiple times it’s been in humble bundles. It’S been available on discount sites, it’s been given away in various events. This is a game that you either have been gifted or could have bought for three dollars at some point from somewhere, and so, if you’re on a very tight budget. Yes, i realize this is a 330 dollar cpu. It is not inexpensive, but if you get this apu, you can at least play a bunch of your back catalog games and then wait until you can add a dedicated graphics card. And then you can, of course enjoy the newer assassin’s creed games or cyberpunk or whatever else it is that you want to play spoiler alert. Cyberpunk is non-functional on this apu.
I did benchmark it. I will show that footage at some point. Oh, my goodness, do not try to play cyberpunk on an apu. In any case, let me know what you thought of this video i’ll like it.
If you like it, don’t if you don’t be sure to hit that red subscribe button, be sure you hit that bell notification to be notified when new videos come out. Follow me on twitter or the tech deals discord, link down below if you’d, like updates on videos and to further communicate your thoughts and ideas on these sorts of things with me, what else you would like to see tested and of course, as i said before, i Will have a 35 game video coming out very soon, with a wide variety of games tested from cyberpunk all the way to pinball fx3, no joke. I tested why? Because believe it or not.
Even casual games like that sometimes do not run well on integrated graphics, intel. Looking at you, so i tested a truly wide variety of games, including many games. I don’t ever really benchmark just to show what is possible because i get it.
I totally get it graphics. Card prices are expensive, not all of you can afford them, and so i hope this video and this series of videos are helpful to you in order to find a solution during the current graphics card shortage.
