How fast is it really ???

[RoryRB]

So basically i got a 3400g and was wondering what kinda gpu its vega 11 graphics has similar performance too, a card from amd and nvidea would be appreciated.

Considering its specs and some benchmarks I've found, it's worse than the RX 540 and GT 1030.

It's like a GT 1030 or so

 

Just to add to this, it's around 10-30% slower than a 1030 depending on clocks and ram speed.

With good memory speed it ought to be able to catch up to the RX 540. APUs are very memory-bottlenecked, at least the better ones like the Vega 11.

I have a 2x8 3200 kit that i plan on getting to about 3600 or higher

Is it a small margin, one that could be closed by some HEAVY overclocking ??? Or am i better just throwing in a gt1030 i have lying around

If you want to avoid spending money, use the GT 1030 assuming it's the GDDR5 version.

That would provide 57.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

 

The RX 540 has 96 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

 

On the other hand, the Vega 11 GPU itself is more powerful than the RX 540, so it's a tradeoff. Faster in some ways, slower in others.

what i meant is that i have a gt1030 but i also have a beefy cooler (dark rock pro 4 with an extra fan) so overclocking was always on the table for me

What ways do you mean, i will be using this system for the whole shabam, gaming, recording, editing, 3d modelling*, streaming and a few other things. Also do you think that a 550 would be a worthwhile upgrade  or am i better off saving for a 5700/xt later down the line

 

 

*if i take it in 5 months

No a 550 would not be a worthwhile upgrade over the Vega 11 graphics. You'd need at least an RX 570 to make it worth spending money on.

Actually upon further investigation, I rescind that I said Vega 11 is worse than the GT 1030. Vega 11 appears to beat the GT 1030 in most cases as long as Vega 11 has 2GB allocated to it and is running at least DDR4-2933

Also agree with what @Sakkura said. If you're going to buy a video card, it's almost never worth it to buy something below the $150 price range unless you absolutely needed something yesterday and you have nothing else to work with.

if i can i will most likely allocate 4-6gb of 3600 to it and yeah

It has identical Vega cores to the Vega 56 and 64... If you set the clock speed to match those cards, (1575-1600MHz) use decent fast RAM, (16GB 3200 CL16 or better) and use an aftermarket cooler, (the GAMMAXX 400 is only $25, and beats out the CM212 series) you can get on-par with a 1050.
