You guessed it, I'm going to buy a Ryzen 5 5600G. I'm on a budget and graphics cards are not even available in my country LOL! Oct 16, 2017

... Will it be good with future plans of getting a graphics card? Is it "future proof"? (answer the future proof one especially pls) Alone, the 5600G's iGPU will only allow for decent low-end gaming performance. But with a high(er) end dGPU (when prices allow) the
CPU will make for some excellent gaming. Maybe not stellar ultra high-FPS e-Sport gaming but triple-A type games with even a top end GPU will play very well, especially at 1440p and 4k in the very-high to ultra settings that bring out the beauty of those games' virtual worlds. But more: because it's sitting on an AM4 motherboard you could (at some point) upgrade to a Ryzen 5800X3D and get (purportedly) top end gaming even for ultra-high FPS e-sports. So in a sense, that's great future
proofing even though it's sort of a meaningless term.
Oh, and I like to add that I will be using it for "Media Consumption"(Ugh I hate that term, makes me feel worse about me sitting in front of a computer all day pfft) and light gaming. Oct 31, 2015 31,693 2,472 135,490 8,015

"Future proof" is a bad term since so much depends on what expectations are. Oct 16, 2017 8,930 2,293 46,440

True true. Ranking CPU's isn't always straight forward. The 5600 isn't going to be as good as a 5600XT, clearly, but it's still good enough to keep one of those GPU's busy with triple-A games at 1440p or especially
4k. Those resolutions and games put all the burden on the GPU but those games also aren't played at high FPS...usually 50-60fps is more than adequate. But that doesn't mean it's a great CPU taken in isolation. At content creation tasks like video editing, graphic and image rendering as with Blender, etc. it will be quite limited. But then, getting a truly good CPU for that means leaving behind the all-important iGPU. A 5700G would be better for that kind of work since it has 8 cores vs. 6
and an even better iGPU to boot. But it wouldn't likely offer much better performance with a higher-end dGPU since it shares many of the same limitations of the 5600g for eSport gaming. Triple-A gaming done right (high resolution/very high to ultra settings) is (almost) always going to be GPU limited with any modern processor with 6+ cores. Gaming, in general, doesn't really care that much for more than 6 cores/12 threads. But if you have requirements beyond gaming you really need to
describe them. Dec 2, 2021 3,229

But is the CPU alone in the 5600G (without the IGPU in the picture) a good processor compared to all the processors right now? Compared to a Intel 386 from 1993, yes. Compared to the strongest CPUs available today, no. The 5600 G has a single thread Passmark score of 3192. That's 50% stronger than
my own CPU, which is perfectly satisfactory for my non-gaming needs. The strongest desktop CPUs today have scores above 4000. You get to define good. It means whatever you choose it to mean. You may be terribly disappointed, depending on your self-imposed definition.

Can I use Ryzen 5 5600X without GPU?Unlike the Ryzen 5 5600G chip, however, the new Ryzen 5 5600 and the Ryzen 5 5600X don't have integrated graphics. This means you'll have to buy a dedicated graphics card to use these processors for a PC build.
Does the Ryzen 5 5600G have good integrated graphics?Yes, the Ryzen 5 5600G has integrated graphics. This feature is unique to AMD's newest line of processors and provides some serious advantages over competition from Intel. For one, the integrated graphics on the 5600G are significantly more potent than what you'll find on any Intel processor.
Can I use Ryzen 5 without graphics card?Unfortunately, no you can't. You need a graphics card whether it's integrated (in the CPU) or dedicated (separate card) for your PC to post. The Ryzen series doesn't have onboard/integrated graphics. Nope.
