2200g upgrade

[NotAVAP]

Hey guys,

I'm currently building a US$500 budget gaming rig with the ryzen 2200g APU and no GPU (obviously). My question is if the 2200g will become a bottleneck if I upgrade it later with let's say an RX 580 or a similar GPU.

 

Thanks for your answers.

It depends on so many things... If you want to game at 720p in CSGO, yes.

If you want to play AAA games at 1440, probably not.

The thing I know for sure is that I'll be playing at 1080p and probably will be playing AAA games, but not the new ones.

Well, if you overclock that 2200G, it'll probably be fine. Won't promise that your GPU will be stuck at 100% usage all the time, but it'll at least be close, generally speaking. Check reviews of the 2200G to see at what point faster GPUs stopped helping

It's probably fine , considering the 2200G is about as fast an the older quad core i5s
