Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Cities Skylines — 1080p High Detail — No GPU Required! — Ryzen 7 5700G w/ Radeon Graphics”.
Today’S video was brought to you by ewin racing, the best source for gaming chairs and desk for those long gaming sessions. We have a playlist of our ewin chair and desk videos Linked In the video description below save 30 % off of everything using the discount code. Tech deals more details at the end of the video hello and welcome to Rogue tech, gaming City skylines, a wonderful city building simulation that kicks the ever loving heck out of the the reboot to Sim City which launched in 2013. This is the city simulation game. We need, but it does not really run very well on integrated Graphics, as you can see right here. This is a ryzen7 5700 G with the Vega 8 integrated Graphics.
It’S good, integrated graphics for what it is. It’S probably one of the best you can currently get at least in late 2021. The next ation will have rdna 2 in it, according to all the various leaks and rumors, but as you can see on the screen here, we are looking at a very unimpressive number. Now please note this is 1080p resolution set to the standard detail settings it’s not with everything turned up to the max, but it’s not with everything turned out to the low either, but it really wouldn’t matter uh. You could set it to 720p and it would certainly run better than it does.
It really was kind of an awful experience. To be honest with you, there were portions where it was playable and functional, and there were portions where it was a slideshow and basically useless. It may be a combination of the lack of real vram, it’s being forced to use main system Ram, because there is no vram with an igpu, and that might really be what we need in the next iteration of integrated Graphics is to have some onboard vram on The chips if there were 2 GB of actual gddr6 on the CPU itself. That would obviously not be enough for modern, AAA games, but it would do wonders for providing decent performance. Now, I’m zoomed in here.
At the moment, you can see we’re following a box truck and it just sort of gives you a view of the city. If you zoom out and you’re in city building mode, you know there’s going to be less detail, so it might be a little better, but not really, I’m going to show you some spots here in a sec. In fact, you can see right here.
This is looking at the city from a higher altitude. It really doesn’t make a look a difference. It’S pretty bad. All things considered we’ll Zoom down to this cargo plane and you can see it’s not even 30 frames per. Second. What you don’t see in these videos is the roughness of the game’s overall performance. You, you see a perfectly recorded video that was recorded on an external machine, but you don’t see the the hesitation and the input lag as you actually try to move the game around. Take a look at how much main system Ram is being used. We are way over the 2 gbt of vram that is allocated the dedicated memory because we have 32 gigs installed. What we actually have is 30 gigabytes available.
I could have changed the overlay to say 30 gigs, but whatever you guys know what’s going on – or at least I hope you do. The 2 GB is just carved out of the 32 and we’re using 26 because we’re using 20 6 active when you take into account standby memory, cash memory for Windows, Etc. We’Ve got nothing left. We really need more vram in order to run a city like this. Now, to be fair, this city is big and developed and has a lot going on. If you build a starter City and you just put up a few buildings, it’s obviously going to run faster than this, to which you would ask the question: why don’t you test it that way? Well, I could, but then you’d think it’d run fine until you actually built a city and then you’d go what what happened here. This thing runs terrible. So let me show you a different view. This is an overlay view which shows obviously data and information. This one is fire safety and I just dropped down a fire station to show the change in the map and you can see everything change, but you can also see that despite the detail loss, the fact that it’s just colorcoded, it really didn’t – do anything to Performance. Okay, it’s a little bit faster, we’re at 34 35 frames per second instead of 27 and 28 frames per second, but that is not a dramatic and huge Improvement versus where we were at before and our main system RAM usage didn’t improve either. Now, let’s take a look at a different view: nighttime and, as you can see here well that went to 20 frames per second, so that definitely did not help things, but you wouldn’t think so being at night with all the lights and Reflections yeah. If you were hoping that City skylines, which is not a new game by the way, this thing is more than 5 years old. Okay, it’s had some patches and upgrades since then, but the fact that City skylines is functionally not playable on on even the best integrated Graphics available today, just goes to show that age alone is not an indicator of what runs and what doesn’t some newer games run.
Great and some games like this – do not, for those of you curious to see the configuration here. It is on the screen: 32 GB of trien Z, RGB ddr4, 3600, cl18 on an x470f assus rug. Stricks motherboard with the latest bios installed a scythe mugan 5 CPU Cooler was used and this Benchmark was recorded on a second PC using a hardware capture card, no performance was lost. Recording this footage, MSI After Burner, was used for the realtime numbers and the benchmarking numbers that you see up in the upper leftand corner of the screen. This is a completely clean test bench with nothing running on it and a relatively fresh install of Windows. 10.
So yeah you can pretty much skip this game. There’S a playlist down in the video description below if you’re interested in seeing some other games tested on this CPU combination with integrated Graphics. Please consider checking that out. I tested 35 different games.
