Comment on low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang

I was recently thinking of changing to a 5600G or something to replace my 3600X + R9 390 combo. The GPU is so power hungry, runs very hot and is noisy that an AGPU would be an interesting upgrade.

Or get a 7600xt or 4060 and reduce the gpu power draw from 275w to 165w~115w while doubling the graphics capabilities

The GPU in the 5600g is half as performant 1050ti, which is already like half of a 390

  It’s not all about performance and the price of what you suggest is triple that if a 5600G.
  
  I probably shouldn’t have used the word “upgrade”.

    That’s fair, if you don’t need medium high graphics performance, going down to an apu would quiet down the fans a lot.

    5600G is 140 on amazon. Arc a570 is 200. Less than double the price with like 7X the performance and not wasting the good 3600X chip.
    
    Probably the way to go to be honest.
