With the ever rising craze for GPU crypto-currency mining , it is literally impossible to find a Graphics Card at MSRP , let alone at SALE !

Here is the graphics cards price hike trends over the last 18 months
GTX 1050 Ti
RX Vega 56
GTX 1070 Ti
As you all can see the trend isn't really going down very soon !
So,lets start!
AMD has realeased their New Ryzen APUs [APU = CPU+integrated graphics] this month, by the name Ryzen 2400g and Ryzen 2200g.
Lets start with a little Overview .
The Ryzen 3 2200g comes with 4 Computing Cores and supports Hyperthreading resulting in 8 Threads and 8 vega GPU Cores,with a Base Clock of 3.5 Ghz with a Boost Clock of 3.7 Ghz,but this is a Unlocked CPU and you can Overclock both the CPU and GPU for extra Performance.
The Ryzen 5 2400g comes with 4 Computing Cores and supports Hyperthreading resulting in 8 Threads and 11 vega GPU Cores,with a Base Clock of 3.6 Ghz with a Boost Clock of 3.9 Ghz,but this is a Unlocked CPU and you can Overclock both the CPU and GPU for extra Performance.
The Integrated graphics trades blow with the GTX 1030 and can play most light games with Amazing frames per second at 1080p,though if you want to play AAA titles,then you have to lower the settings to low-medium and perhaps the resolution to 720p.
Lets see how well it stacks up to the gtx 1030.
As you can see its more or less the performance of a Discrete GPU gtx 1030 from an Integrated Solution.
It can be clearly seen that the Ryzen APUs totally crushes their Intel Counterparts in gaming.
As per the Motherboard you can opt for any B350 motherboard for these APUs.
The Ryzen 3 2200g comes for around 99 usd and its bigger brother Ryzen 2400g comes for around 169 usd.
That is an Amazing Value for Money.
Peace.
