I mean a RX550 here in Aus costs US$124 after conversion and the GT1030 here costs roughly the same. So this is a far better solution than buying either an rx550 or gt1030 until prices come down. However memory pricing needs to come down to make the APU more usable, the 3200mhz kit that was provided for reviewers costs $250 for the 16GB kit More to come as I find them Not sure how to add the embedded imgur widget I live in this city: http://time.is/sydney I will be awake at about 5pm, I'll update this post then if there is any new reviews.

Posted February 12, 2018 So it's basically a Ryzen 1500X with an RX 550 strapped to it, for the same price as the regular 1500X? Not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the radeon CU count and sharing system ram,the performance isn't that bad. 16 minutes ago, LAwLz said: So it's basically a Ryzen 1500X with an RX 550 strapped to it, for the same price as the regular 1500X? Not too bad. For the same price as a 1500X this is great,also when most can't afford a dedicated GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they didn't matter? 1.82% of Steam users run a GT 730. That's more than ANY graphics card made by AMD. Edit: Whoops, it's 0.92% of all GPUs (1.82% is from a subset). Still ahead of all AMD cards though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 12, 2018 To sum it up, depending on the game it's either on par with a GT 1030 or above/below it by a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Whoops, it's 0.92% of all GPUs (1.82% is from a subset). Still ahead of all AMD cards though. And 0.98% run intel 4000 intergrated, that should be enough to show people tend to not really give a shit about gaming performance when down in the budget category. This isnt going to kill anything.

I'd take Steam stats with a grain of salt as participation in their hardware surveys are optional,and with a lot of AMD gpus overpriced and in short supply do you think gamers are going to be using AMD cards? 17 minutes ago, mynameisjuan said: Wait you think sub $100 GPUs mattered? Second is intel's chip are not being bought for their graphics anyway. You do have a point,however for the price range these compete in you can't get an Intel 4 core 8 thread cpu,and graphics comparable to a GTX 1030 or RX550.

People still sometimes buy obsolete shit, but now AMD is unequivocally the best option in that segment. 2 minutes ago, Blademaster91 said: I'd take Steam stats with a grain of salt as participation in their hardware surveys are optional,and with a lot of AMD gpus overpriced and in short supply do you think gamers are going to be using AMD cards?

I cant argue price point. I just dont see the point in buying a APU just to get performance around a 1030, because you know how much that card is bragged about. /s I guess I just dont like budget parts as its generally a huge waste of money in the long run.

This is not a first that APUs match or are close the that market and time and time again, people still blow money on stupid $100 cards. As I said, intel will be the only ones affected as the only ones who really care are small builds that cant take a GPU and most GPU HP is needed.

Jesus christ dude, its an APU with mediocre performance @1080p, its not killing anything nor raising the bar. When the gtx 20xx comes out 1050 performance will be at that price point (as long as bullshit GPU go to normal). It has not one thing to do with the threat of an APU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
