The video evaluates the gaming performance of a budget-friendly PC build featuring a Ryzen 3 3200G CPU, initially using its built-in Vega Graphics and later an upgraded RX580 graphics card. Testing popular games from 2023, the Vega Graphics struggled at 1080p, performing better at lower resolutions but still experiencing frame drops. Upgrading to the RX580 significantly improved performance, achieving more stable and higher FPS across games like Overwatch, Valorant, and CS2. The video demonstrates that while the Ryzen 3200G with integrated graphics can handle basic gaming, upgrading to a dedicated graphics card like the RX580 greatly enhances performance, making the build more viable for modern gaming at an accessible price point of around $330.

In this part of the video, the creator evaluates if the Ryzen 3200G is still good for gaming by testing it in popular games from 2023. The build includes a Ryzen 3 3200G CPU, an A520 ITX motherboard from Gigabyte, 16GB of RAM at 3200 MHz, a 1TB Gen 3 SSD, and a 500W Be Quiet! gold-certified power supply.
When testing the built-in Vega Graphics, in Overwatch 2 at 1080p and medium settings, the performance was around 30 FPS with significant drops; lowering the resolution to 1600×900 or even 720p resulted in slightly better performance but still had stutters. Valorant at 1080p and low settings was more playable with 80-100 FPS, occasionally dropping to 60 FPS. Counter-Strike 2 at 1080p low settings started well but had severe drops, becoming stable only at 720p with around 70 FPS. The performance assessment continued with Fortnite, though details were cut off.

In this part of the video, the performance of various games is analyzed on a budget-friendly PC build. Initially, Fortnite was tested at 1080p on performance mode with settings on low and view distance on far, achieving a playable 60-80 FPS. Lowering the resolution to 720p sometimes increased FPS to 100 but caused noticeable drops. Apex Legends at 1080p low settings managed around 50 FPS, improving to 60 FPS at 720p.
After upgrading to an RX580 2048 stream processor graphics card, benchmarks for games were re-evaluated. Overwatch at 1080p medium with FSR yielded 110-120 FPS, with occasional drops but none below 60. Valorant at 1080p medium settings reached 130-140 FPS, occasionally hitting 180-200, though stability at 130-140 FPS was preferred. CS2 ran smoothly at 1080p low settings with 110-120 FPS, avoiding the severe drops seen with Vega Graphics. Fortnite at 1080p using DX12 and low settings with view distance on far achieved 80-90 FPS, maintaining playability.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the performance of a budget gaming system with a graphics card across various popular games. When switched to Performance mode in Fortnite with adjusted settings, the game achieved a stable 120 FPS after initial texture rendering. In Apex Legends at 1080p low settings, it consistently reached around 110-120 FPS. However, Warzone 2’s Resurgence mode at 1080p basic settings resulted in 50-60 FPS, which improved slightly with FSR enabled but introduced higher input delay. Halo Infinite at 1080p low settings was less smooth at 45-50 FPS but became playable at 60 FPS after reducing the render scale to 72%. The entire build, including a $60 graphics card, cost approximately $330, offering decent performance for its price point, with potential upgrades available for higher budgets.
