Building a new test PC for used graphics cards in 2022, using an AMD Ryzen 5600G APU, B450 motherboard and 16GB of DDR4-3600 RAM.
Last year's test PC represented the averaging gaming PC according to Steam's hardware survey, but it maybe didn't give the best representation of what these older cards were still capable of. For 2022, I've decided to replace the old RPG PC with something different- a PC built to approximate what other reviewers have been recommending for the last few months. In this video, I'll explain my reasoning, my methodology going forwards, and what games you can look forward to seeing older GPUs holding up against.
