Curious; anyone of you use an AMD APU Processor, like Ryzen 5600G with 3DSV2? How is it?
I'm not the GFX bling bling nut i once were & rich enough to get a "midrange" GFX card like a Nvidia 3060 today, which is still waaaay overpriced! (i'd buy a new nv3050 for 250 Euro, max!)
I'm actually thinking of skipping the dedicated GFX-cards next time & getting a good APU this fall instead.
AMD with their RDNA2 APU might be pretty darn good.
I'm ok with Mid/High settings @ 60 fps.
Fuck, my eyes actually went 25% worse when i turned 40, just like mom said...
I still have an Nvidia 1070 Ti that is wonderful for my needs, though.

Yep, the nv3050 is not midrange. It is low-end with a midrange price.... It is way over what i payed for my Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce in 2012, and that was a powerful card back than (350 euros).
I'm not sure where i end up now, though.
If the new AMD APU & Intel ARC integrated gfx are decent i probably use those processors.
Yeah, i still have a dedicated GFX card, but having a powerful APU as a backup sounds great to me.

Heck, i remember i bought a ATI 4830 for my sisters PC in 2009, i think for about 100 Euros, NEW!
2008 I had an Intel Quad 9450 CPU, 16 gb ram & a Sapphire ATI 4870 512Mb at the time.
Ran hot as hell, but it lived for 9 years!
It wasn't that expensive. I don't remember exactly, but it was around 250-270 Euros or so.
Not over 300, that i am sure of.

I do think the nv3050 is a fine card, if it was 100 euros cheaper.
I do not need a 3070 Ti now, & i'd never pay that price for a GFX card!
I bought an Orchid Voodoo II card for over 300 euros to play Half-Life & Aliens Vs Predator before this centuary!
My moms PC she got had a ATI Rage II AGP in it in 1998.
That Voodoo card really made all the difference in the world...
I haven't used a modern / current AMD APU with 3DSV2. I would imagine that the 5600G would be more than adequate, even if it is based off of the older Vega graphics chip.
I'd pass on the 3050. It's not really mid-range. The RTX 3060ti is much more capable and a better value. Prices are coming down. If you don't mind going with AMD, you can get an older RX 5700xt for around $350 USD or less on Ebay. It's roughly comparable to the Nvidia RTX 2070.
I'm currently running an RTX 2070 Super.
