Vega 11 iGPU

Quick question,will I be able to play rust at an average of 60fps at 720p low graphic settings using the Vega 11 iGPU and these specs?

I suspect not.  The minimum system requirements are for a GTX 670 or R9 280, both of which are significantly more powerful, somewhere near 1.5 to 2x in fact, and generally speaking minimum requirements are given for 720p 30 fps low.  However, that's just a rule of thumb and different companies and games definitely do have different standards.  For example, Mad Max states a min of a 660 Ti but I was able to play it at 1080p 60 at slightly above minimum settings with a GTX 660, and then there's GTA IV which wasn't really a very good experience even on the recommended hardware, so you never know.

 

edit: also I'm moving this to a different subforum as Build Logs is intended for build logs

So far the 3400G has been able to play any game that isn't super CPU intensive at 1080p Low. Mine can play Fortnite, Apex Legends, CS:GO 120+FPS, and recently Gears 5 all at medium to high settings 1080p. Last default settings Firestrike score of 4134 if you want to compare to other GPUs.

The requirements for those games:

• Fortnite:
  • Min: HD 4000
  • Rec: GTX 660
• Apex Legends:
  • Min: GT 640
  • Rec: GTX 970
• CS:GO:
  • to paraphrase the official statement, "basically anything"
• Gears 5:
  • Min: RX 560
  • Rec: RX 570

So for those first three your claim of 1080p low or even medium is not at all surprising.  It runs them well because they're just not as demanding.  As for Gears 5, theoretically that should not work well at all, but it's possible they've overstated what's needed by a fair bit.

 

Digging in a bit more I pulled up the benchmarks for Vega 11 on notebookcheck just for a second opinion.  Unfortunately this is for the Vega 11 in the 2400G not 3400G so it explains the lower scores to some extent but I think it's still useful: https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-RX-Vega-11-GPU.278628.0.html

 

 

It's a wide range but overall I'd say there's at least ballpark-level agreement between what you report, what this reports, and what you'd expect based on system requirements.  So if that all holds true, and if the Rust requirements can be trusted, I would still question if it'll work well.

 

Here's some more tests:

A quick glance through shows he seems to get around 20 - 40 fps at lowest settings, 1080p

 

Here's another, he tests at 900p and then later 720p.  In the second tests uses somewhat middle settings and gets around the high 30s in fps

 

If these are to be believed it is doing a bit better than I would have thought but pretty borderline.  I'm still not convinced you'll get a solid 60 at min settings

The 3400G is about 10% better than 2400G, depending on RAM and OC or not. Gears 5 benchtest was 42 FPS at 1080p mixed medium settings and in game is was about 45 FPS most the time, I would say this Vega 11 can get very close to RX 560 if it had underclocked memory, most I have seen equate the Vega 11 iGPU to about a RX550 at stock clocks.

Yeah I think that's about right

And the 550 comparison is probably close too.  They have different strengths so how they stack up in a game will vary but that sounds reasonable.  I'm surprised to hear gears runs that well, I guess they've just chosen to target a higher end experience than what most "minimum requirements" imply (meaning that on paper it'll look more demanding compared to other things when it might not actually be).

Ya Gears 5 felt very well optimized but there are so many quality settings and descriptions, was easy to figure out what to turn down. Must be from all the years of optimizing to play on xbox.
