If I was to compare the video processor in the 7950X cpu, which GPU is it comparable to? Im trying to debate if I really need to bother getting a dedicated GPU again, or just live with it for now until I can once again afford a RTX 4090 or maybe even a 5090 by then?
 
I use it for video production and photo editing. 8k video as well as high rez pictures. Im aware the top cards are preferred for my uses, but Im trying to get a baseline as to what the onboard cpu graphics can do. My brother suggested the 7950X graphics may be comparable to a Nvidia 1030, but I question if its really that low. Has anyone heard what the cpu graphics compare to?
 
You can go look at some charts to get some idea. However if your editing video its going to be much faster in my experience.

Do you make money with this ?
If not you can set up a long session to encode and leave it running over night.
Are you having a problem you are trying to solve?

You could get a budget card the 3060 or 3060TI is affordable now and would be a lot better than onboard.
 
No I don't make money for this, but some rendering can take days instead of just hours. Where are these charts for the onboard gpu specs? No real problem other than just saving time.

this can give you a idea


its relatively worse then a 1030 in most cases it doesnt have many gpu units it only has 2 gpu units
 
early 2024 8000g Apus are going to blow current gen Igpus out of the water ..
How so? I'm probably going to upgrade to the 8950X when it comes out, so I'm curious where you're getting your information? Not much info out on the Ryzen 8000 series yet. Also there has been no mention of when in 2024 Ryzen 8000 will be released, so what have you heard?

alot of info there about 8000g
now they only do 8700g as its top cpu but its igpu is using rdna 3 specs.

also pure speculation ive read that with the 8000g apus coming and named 8000 ..
the 8000 series /zen 5 may end up being called the 9000series so 9950x will be the next desktop cpu's released.

There is quite alot of info surrounding the 8000g cpus not all facts some speculation and guesses but like in that linked thread if board partners are shoving out bios updates to these APU's they must know something more than us plebs !!

sorry EDIT in re reading the thread late January 2024 !!

So I picked up a used Gigabyte RTX 4070 off Amazon.ca and installed it. Im running Premiere Pro like I did before when I was just running the CPU graphics. With the RTX 4070, Im getting almost the same rendering time as before without the graphics card. Should it not do quite a bit better with the dedicated GPU installed? It took around 38 or so hours to render (and upscale) a 15 minute 8K video with the CPU graphics chip. Now running it again with the 4070, its still around 35 hours and climbing as it runs. I would have expected better than this result.

Well it settled in a little over 40 hours after running 3 hours in to rendering. So I basically was no different compared to the CPU onboard graphics. Shouldnt it be a drastically lower number being we are technically comparing a less than GT 1030 vs a RTX 4070?
