Curse you Nintendo.

@Edhawk, the reason for wanting to see the 5700G benchmark. I’m likely going 5700U for this mod.

 

[Edhawk]

I'll see what I can do to provide the benchmark score.

 

[Edhawk]

Here are two benchmarks using the Ryzen 7 5700G APU. Not great, but they never were going to be that.





Based on the High Quality, full screen and 1920x1080 resolution used in the other benchmark tests.

Nearly identical FPS timelines.

 

[craighazan]

Can I see a result for medium settings please?. Do you have Shaneees patch enabled?.

 

[Edhawk]

Sure, tomorrow (Saturday).

These are the results for the 4700G in BasemarkGPU. On the left is medium settings, on the right High settings.
