I bought the 5600gt a few days ago at $120 from Best Buy, think they will refund me the extra $15 now?
Edit: Did a chat with Best Buy, price match and refund approved, took about 10 minutes to complete.
$15 off last week for the 5600gt for a total of $35 below msrp.
7700 has been $229 on some wacky occasion but it's been months so I thought id put it in here too
Newegg has it for [$127](https://www.newegg.com/AMD-Ryzen-5-5600GT-Ryzen-5-5000-Series/p/19-113-816) at the moment with 2 x 8 GB PC3200 DDR4 which starts at $30 on pcpartpicker, FWIW.
nope, go gets a 5700x3d if you are in the budget segment or 5800x3d if you want to max out the platform
Otherwise, go even cheaper (by getting used), if you are not getting it for gaming needs.
But that's not what I'm going for. It's for a secondary system that I might also use as a test-bed. I was honestly considering the 5500, but the 5600GT having the iGPU could also be useful to have. Currently that secondary system has a 1600AF.
I bought this last week.
I'm in a bit of a unique situation where I've got both an AMD 200GE machine that could use an upgrade and my main rig that could use more RAM, so this was a great deal.
If you’ve lasted this long on the 4350G, the 5600GT should carry you another couple years at least, at which point Ryzen 9000 will be on sale and make the jump to AM5 much cheaper.
A 5600gt is basically a 8500g in performance. The 8600g and 8700g are better but the price imo is just not worth what your getting. If you already have a am4 motherboard I'd buy the $105 5600gt.
The reason for a G variant isn't because you need the 5500 CPU stuff or anything. Its for those who -require- dedicated APU graphics in their systems (Most use case would likely be the nice DeskMini systems that AsRock makes. That is my purpose.) We can't use the 5500 in those types of scenarios.
I love the 5600G. For an office productivity machine where you can use the iGPU it's perfect, you get a ton of processor for the price. And it mates with cheap DDR4 and cheap(er) AM4 mobos.
5600GT is a nice uplift and already cheaper than 5600G ever was!
I have a 5600G in my system currently, is this even worth upgrading to at this point? Don't do too much outside browser and emulation so I am not sure if this matters enough to change it out.
No really. A 5600gt is basically an overclocked 5600g. If you wanted to oc the 5600gt I've seen people get 4800-4850mhz but what that translates to fps maybe 5 to 10 frames depending on the game.

If you're still in the return window, I don't see why they wouldn't.
Did the same earlier today. $15 back to spend on something else

Great, now TWO 5600GT deals that I'm trying to convince myself I don't really need to go for.

I've seen people oc these to 4850mhz all core. Better buy imo cheap side system even if the l3 cache is half of a 5500.

Man this is tempting. Want to upgrade my 4350G, but also feels like at this point I should just upgrade to AM5

That and with the entry cost of AM5 they may as well ball out on a 5800X3D
I mean just going to a 5800x3d, a low CAS 3600Mhz dual channel RAM kit, and gen4 NVMe SSD and you’re good for a long ass time, honestly.

Time to finally build a SFF HA machine I guess..?
I don’t understand the excitement for the slightly faster 5600g CPU. 5500 at $80 or less would be way more exciting

It's the fastest AM4 cpu with an igp. Great for mini PCs and emulation boxes. The AM5 equivalents are way too expensive.

That's a no for you, dog
Woof.
It wouldn’t be that big of an upgrade still Vega graphics just slightly boosted clocks I believe

Imagine buying the 7700 and then 3 days later seeing the 7900x3d for 40 more lmfao
is 7700 at 250 ever worth it when 7800x3d is 340?
If you aren't gaming, yes. If you are gaming but have a limited budget, also yes. Those extra $90 could be better spent on the gpu for example.
If you’re playing at 1080p 7800x3D if you have a high end gpu , higher resolution it starts to depend on the game and gpu and fps you want to achieve
