Great for a budget gaming PC.
Amazing for a budget gaming computer. Or for many task..low to medium settings on gaming.. Some games at 1080..But most at 720 p..Plays most popular games..gta4, minecraft etc..30 to 60 fps depending on games..Cant beat it if you cant afford a high end gpu right now..Son loves it with his custom build..

Another winner from AMD “Ryzen 5 5600g”
If you are looking for a powerful desktop, workstation or gaming processor that is also affordable....this processor covers it all. Works well, runs most big games like Enlisted at 38-45FPS. Great for budgets builds. Make sure to download the drivers to activate the graphics when you install this CPU. My games ran well, I am waiting for GPU prices to drop so this does the job good enough. When playing Enlisted, I had frames up to 45FPS to a steady 37FPS. If you are playing Apex Legends and you are a serious gamer, get a GPU. This CPU ran Apex at 30fps to 26FPS so just grab a GPU for that. And if you for some reason only game on Roblox, this CPU is completely capable of running max graphics on it lol. The shipping was very fast and I love this CPU! I think if you are waiting on a GPU this does the job for a budget gaming CPU…..
