That's a weirdly consistent inconsistent graph if you know what I mean. Very odd!

OcUK Ryzen APU review thread

There is some sort of bottleneck with the Ryzen APU's, if you look at the Ryzen 1200 + GT 1030 the frame rates are lower but the frame times are consistently around 25 to 30ms, compare that to the Ryzen APU which are between about 17 to 30ms.
17ms is near 60 FPS, its constantly trying to push that out and is immediately slapped down again, it never gets anywhere near what the frame times say it should be. memory bandwidth?

Quite likely. One of the reviews mentioned that graphics performance tanked on slower DDR4.
I can't see any mention of the hardware spec used in that video.

Ah, didn't make the link with it showing 1467MHz... being double data rate and all...

It's no surprise to see it memory bottlenecked.
Lets be honest, 3000MHZ isn't dramatically higher than what was available in DDR3, you could buy plenty of 2400MHZ modules.

Yeah the APU's are massively bottlenecked by the memory. It's shown that for best performance you need to get the DDR4 clocks as high as possible. DDR4 @ 3600 (even with really high timings) has been show to give the best performance. Whatever memory speed you can give it will utilize.
Soldato
How much memory?

I'm after a STRIX B350-F and 2200g, anyone know if the mobo will support it out the box, can't be bothered if not.
Soldato
I think you'd have to ask the retailer if they could upgrade it for you.
Soldato
Can't see Amazon doing that.
I Got my Ryzen 2400G in the "Asus Rog STRIX B350-F Gaming" Will need to update the bios to Min 3203 support them if its online old shop stock, I used my 1700 CPU to flash mine with Bios Version 3803 2018/01/26

Yeah do not think I'll bother then.
Just apply for the free loaner CPU - people in the UK already have received them.
Soldato
Can't be arsed waiting for it, I mean how long...
I would wait for the new boards
So a couple of weeks in and I am very happy with the general performance. I have the Ram running at 2933 for daily use at tight timings which it seems happy with.
I have really struggled to get any extra speed out of the GPU - I think that might be down to thermals but I am not sure. Anything above 1300mhz just isn't stable for me - though I have launch day silicon also and I suspect that might be an issue.
I am running the system with a 1TB SSD and the whole thing is just super fast and responsive for everything I do daily.

I added some more reviews to the OP!!
