I upgraded from a Ryzen 3 2200g and boy what a difference!

I combined the Ryzen 5500 with a existing graphics card, a new motherboard, and some new RAM to give an old PC a total refresh. The end result is both much faster and far quieter and I didn't have to pay for the inbuilt graphics that I was never going to use.

This processor has no graphics capabilities at all........ if you are building a headless server like i am you don't even think about a graphics card...until oh wait, the motherboard onboard graphics don't actually work cause the processer has no graphics chip...... Also many first timers will build a system and rely on onboard graphics until they can save up and get a decent graphics card..... This absolutely needs to be in the product title or first line of the description. not on the last line of the features....

I was origonaly using an i3 9100f in my computer when I swapped after about a year to this CPU which has been significantly faster. I have not experienced any stutters and have had fast video rendering ontop of it. Deffinetely reccomend this CPU if you want a great and cheap experience whilst gaming.

Great for playing games at 1080P.
