3DMark Vantage Performance

3DMark Vantage is an outdated DirectX 10 benchmark using 1280×1024 screen resolution. It taxes the graphics card with two scenes, one depicting a girl escaping some militarized base located within a sea cave, the other displaying a space fleet attack on a defenseless planet. It was discontinued in April 2017, and Time Spy benchmark is now recommended to be used instead.

3DMark 11 Performance GPU

3DMark 11 is an obsolete DirectX 11 benchmark by Futuremark. It used four tests based on two scenes, one being few submarines exploring the submerged wreck of a sunken ship, the other is an abandoned temple deep in the jungle. All the tests are heavy with volumetric lighting and tessellation, and despite being done in 1280×720 resolution, are relatively taxing. Discontinued in January 2020, 3DMark 11 is now superseded by Time Spy.

AMD Radeon RX Vega 5 Specs

The AMD Radeon RX Vega 5 Graphics comes integrated with AMD Ryzen 3 4000 series. Launched in January of 2020 the iGPU is based on Vega architecture comes with 5 CUs clocked at 1.4 GHz. The Vega 5 graphics have a performance just slightly below Vega 6 graphics and is capable of gaming at medium setting with decent frame rates.

The performance of the Vega 5 Graphics depends on a number of factors such as the configured TDP (12-25 Watts), Clock Speed, Cooling Solution, and RAM configuration. The integrated GPU greatly benefits from fast dual-channel memory. The Renoir APUs now also support the LPDDR4x memory the gives the Renoir APU some performance. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 5 (Ryzen 4000) graphics have a performance that should be comparable to that of Nvidia Mx130.

AMD SmartShift

AMD SmartShift allows the power to be diverted intelligently between CPU and GPU to maximize performance in specialized tasks such as Gaming and Rendering.

How is AMD Radeon RX Vega 5 (Ryzen 4000 Series) for Photo Editing

Image editing applications such as photoshop should relatively smooth with vega 5 as it is paired with the 4000 series CPU’s which are great for editing workloads. So, if you are editing on a system with a 1080p display it will be a relatively smooth experience. However, if have are with a 4k display and simultaneously working with large files you will experience some lag.

How is AMD Radeon RX Vega 5 (Ryzen 4000) for Video Editing

It should be able to handle basic 1080p editing workloads with little to no difficulty. Since when it comes to video editing CPU is far more important than GPU and the 4000 series CPUs it is paired with are all well equipped for handling basic editing workloads.

Gaming Performance/Benchmarks

The AMD RX Vega 5 Graphics should be able to handle most modern games that are not very graphic demanding such as League of Legends, Dota 2, Minecraft, CS: GO, GTA 5, and Fortnite. But consider this it only has 10 percent of the benchmark performance when compared with industry-leading Nvidia RTX 3090.

Gaming Benchmarks

below 20 FPS– Unplayable/laggy/stuttery
20-30 FPS– Below average, acceptable for some laggy for others.
30-45 FPS– Average, acceptable for most people.
45-60 FPS– Above Average, Smooth animation/No lag.
60-90 FPS– Semi-Professional.
Above 90 FPS– God tier/Hardcore/Professional.

Radeon Vega 5 graphics core overview

Vega GPU Radeon 5 appeared in 2020 as part of AMD’s budget mobile APUs. The GPU is made according to technological standards of 7nm and carries the GCN 5.0 architecture, has a base frequency of 300 megahertz and a maximum frequency of 1400 megahertz. The graphics core does not have its own video memory, but takes memory from the RAM (no more than two gigabytes), which makes the graphics subsystem extremely dependent on the frequency of the RAM (the higher the frequency, the better the GPU performance). The core is extremely sensitive to the dual-channel RAM mode (when there are two memory sticks of the same size and frequency) and shows significantly better performance in this mode compared to the single-channel mode. Radeon Vega 5 is a low cost integrated graphics card that will provide comfortable performance in undemanding modern games such as DOTA2, CS:Source, CS:GO, World of Tanks with medium graphics settings and 720p(1280*720) or low graphics settings and resolutions. 1080p(1920*1080). In modern demanding games: The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, at 720p(1280*720) resolution and minimum graphics settings, the frame rate will be 25-30, with subsidence in the most difficult scenes up to 15-20. In older games like GTA V and Tomb Raider 2013, Radeon Vega 5 will provide a high comfortable amount of FPS at medium graphics settings.

Additional information:
— To further increase performance in games, turn off the «vertical sync» option in the graphics settings.
