APU means on chip graphics right? I'd rather use my 128 bit video card.
I guess it depends on availability but why did you get one with an onboard GPU then? The equivalent CPU without it would be cheaper wouldn't it?

Yeah I'd be curious how it compares to the 7770. Might be faster.Surprisingly no. The Ryzen 3 2200G is one of the 3 Raven Ridge core APUs supported by this board. Actually only two because the Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G are the same chip. This one is the higher clocked of this family and cheaper.
It went down from $99 to $89 so I grabbed it.
Clipped from an article in Tom's Hardware:
AMD debuted Raven Ridge, a new set of Ryzen CPUs with onboard Radeon Vega graphics.
Yes, we've spelled that out--Ryzen CPUs with Vega graphics--when "APU" (Accelerated Processing Units) would seemingly do just fine. AMD has used the term for many years to refer to its CPUs that have integrated graphics, but with the launch of Raven Ridge, the company has shied away from it. When pressed, AMD has given us somewhat mixed messages about whether or not to use "APU" any longer. The company is not using "APU" internally when referring to Raven Ridge chips, preferring, we guess, to spell it out upon every mention, but it still refers to older APUs as "APUs." We've been told that we can use "APU" to describe Raven Ridge chips if we want--that is, the term is not inaccurate--but for branding purposes, it seems that AMD wants to hammer home the point that Raven Ridge is composed of Zen CPU cores and Radeon Vega graphics.
By the way, I'll start out with the Vegas graphics and see how well it does.
Look at the Passmark scores. It's how I compare the CPUs. My i5-3570 is similar clocked like the Ryzen 3 2200G and the r3 is slightly faster.
i5-3570 = 7095 passmarks
r3-2200G = 7355 passmarks
My VC is an HD7770.
You usually can. They usually give you an option to say you've already activated it then say that you had a hardware change.Well hell, I can't reactivate my win 10 without buying a license. That's $120!
Did all that. It all started with a W7 OEM disk and upgraded to W10. OEM means only one machine but when I upgraded from my i3 to i5 they activated it. After that no more. Not with a new motherboard, cpu and memory, that's practically a whole new system.
I have a guy interested in my guitar. I'll find out tomorrow and if I did sell it I'll buy a W10 DVD.
Looks like you'll have to buy a new copy then.
Nope! It's activated! hehehe...
*raises eyebrow*
So did it work or did you find other such means to activate it?
Others means.![]()
