Look how awesome Starfield is now running without graphics card with the new Ryzen tweaks. :)
The good old first ever Ryzen Zen 1 APU, so ancient it was already there when the Dinosaurs roamed the earth, it survived the meteor and the old Egyptians put it on the top of their pyramids, is after all these years still capable of perfect gaming without a graphics card in the computer!

Here a Starfield performance test.
No graphics card, Ryzen 5 2400G Zen 1 CPU with APU Vega 11 graphics chip. Of course no raytracing because the Radeon Vega has no raytracing. The Radeon 6000-series is the first card with raytracing.
And it runs awesome, not exactly 60-FPS-awesome but perfectly fine playable in all areas, on planets and cities.

The new settings:
New CPU core voltage is stable 1,3125 volt up to 3900MHz.
The CPU did not run that fast with the default 1,46 volt core boost, and the CPU clock was limited to 3600 MHz at 1,46v plus the CPU gets slightly damaged over time with this voltage because AMD recommendations say for zero long-term CPU degredation at all it should always run below 1,35 volts.
CPU clock is now up to 3900 MHz with no Game-Boost active.
CPU temp always stays below 58° Celsius under the newest heavy-load high end games with DeepCool AK500S Digital cooler, MX-4 thermal paste and 2 CPU magnetic levithan Corsair ML120 ultrasilent cooling fans (front fan and case-exhaust fan right behind the cooler setup) running almost ultrasilent at 25%-33% rpm.
CPU NB Soc voltage 1,0500 volt
CPU VDDP voltage 0,900 volt
Chip SOC voltage 1,000 volt
Chip CLDO voltage 1,2000 volt

DRAM voltage 1,3600 volt T-Force Dark Pro 32 GB
DRAM Timing "auto" (auto is everything RAS-CAS-etc to CL 14 latency, but CL 10 is possible with a Ryzen 7 3800X with 1,3900v but I am currently too lazy to overclock the RAM and test various timings, and reset the whole BIOS if anything goes wrong.
A tiny bit of RAM overclocking is not that powerful and important, it runs fine and supercool as it is, VRAM is way more important for games.
Plus I don´t like it when the RAM get´s burning hot in there above 1,4 volts even if the sticker on the package says operated at 1,45v.)

Looks like I don´t need a graphics card and also no new Ryzen, at least not before the new Flight Simulator 2024 releases. :)

I absolutely love my good old Ryzen Zen 1 but Zen 1 NVMe read-write capabilites are unfortunately limited to 800mb/sec no matter how fast the NVMe is.
Luckily there is a new Ryzen AM-4 with a new Vega graphics chip available, and because I am constantly changing and testing new graphics cards, selling them, getting new ones, and also sometimes have the PC sometimes running half a year without a graphics card until I find an interesting new revision or cooler design I always need a Ryzen with a fixed build-in graphics chip iGPU..... so the AM-4 Ryzen 7 5700G will be the next top-notch Ryzen when it comes to upgrading the computer for Flight Simulator 2024.
