Good deal!

Set it to 1GB or 2GB depending on your needs. 1GB is enough for most uses.

No

I am getting around 1600 to 1640 on msi b450m pro vdh max and ryzen 5600 no background task running and everything in the bios is set to stock..

A485 is an interesting alternative to the T480. It's a solid choice if you prefer AMD's cpus. However, keep in mind that the A485 might have some minor differences in battery life and thermals compared to the T480.

No, default BIOS settings, clean installation of Windows 10

Hi! I'm doing well, thanks for asking. 😊 Using 2×4 GB and 2×8 GB RAM can work, but it might not be optimal. Mixing different RAM sizes can cause stability issues and might not run in dual-channel mode, which can lead to performance loss. It's usually best to use identical modules for the best performance. That said, I used a 2×8 GB + 2×4 GB DDR3 setup for years, and it worked fine for me. Good luck with your upgrade!

What temps are you seeing? High CPU temps (60-80°C) under heavy load or gaming can be normal, but it's important to ensure they stay within safe limits. The i7 4790 can handle higher temps, but consistently high temperatures can reduce its lifespan.

That's impressive for HD 4600.

I strongly suggest buying something newer to play the latest FIFA games.

The integrated graphics card uses RAM as VRAM. You can set in the BIOS how much RAM can be allocated to the iGPU.

@@benchmarks31 thanks 👍🏻

It is likely that your drive is unfortunately dead.

This is because I use a special external video grabber for recording.

@@benchmarks31 Oh ok. Thought you had a fix. I'm getting tire of this laptop. I don't know if I wanna get a new pc or laptop. I wanna play rdr2.

RDR2 will run without any problems on any new laptop with an RTX card. But I strongly suggest you buy a desktop PC, I have had problems with laptops overheating too many times.

@@benchmarks31 thanks

Original PSU from HP Prodesk 600 G1, 240 W active PFC

i have the same but it it small form factor does the gtx750ti work with that psu?@@benchmarks31

Hello, I recommend you to install Windows 10 due to the lack of support in Windows 11 for the 4th generation of Intel processors.

This video was recorded with an external HDMI capture card with no effect on fps

Yes, Windows 10 works without any problems on the HD 4600. I do not recommend you to install Windows 8.1 because this system is no longer supported by Microsoft.

Windows 8 and 8.1 have lost support on Steam. You are required to use Windows 10.

@@benchmarks31 Intel HD Graphics option was not appear on my windows right-click menu, is it ok ?

You do not have graphics drivers installed. You can download them on Intel's website.

@@benchmarks31 when i checked dxdiag it says intel hd 4600 installed bro

Graphics set to "Fast", simulation distance and render distance, both set to 6 chunks. Other settings - default. Screen resolution - 1360x768.

@@benchmarks31 Thanks!

@@sillyboi-qy5px that's about what I ran. I'm not sure how well distant horizons will run on it but I GREATLY recommend that mod because it loads in simulated pictures from data outside of your draw distance that you've traveled to before. Using it on my main machine I can see literally HUNDREDS of chunks away

Yes, FSR works on almost any graphics card.

@@benchmarks31 wow , I thought it's only work on dedicated gpu

@@benchmarks31 like any graphics process unit? include INTEL GMA ? I don't want to annoying but I already ordered a X230t with same spec but I have 16g of ram(haven't received yet) before I watching the video,but before all these,I have a X201 with first gen core I and gma hd. Is it also gonna work on that? I'm really curious

FSR OFFICIALLY requires at least an NVIDIA GTX 10 series card. But as you can see, even the old integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics card supports FSR. It's really a lottery, one card will work and another won't.

@@benchmarks31 alright, Thanks for your help!

This video is a test of the desktop version of the HD 4600. The mobile version of the card used in the Thinkpad you mentioned will have worse performance.

@@benchmarks31 maybe, but it still uses a 55w cpu

Off

@@benchmarks31 ok thx, and is your score (12875) a good one for PBO off???

Yes, this result is consistent with other tests of this processor with PBO disabled.

@@benchmarks31 ok. thx... mine is roundabout same, but when i go from 3600to3200MHz RAM Settings, the Score is getting better >13000+

It is worth turning on PBO, you can find a guide on Reddit on how to do it and what values ​​to set. After enabling PBO, the score in CBR23 increases to ~15000.

I agree. I currently have a T480 with an 8th generation i5 and it is a great laptop. The X230 was my first ThinkPad, and in this video I wanted to show off its capabilities in 2023. I will make a similar video in the future with other ThinkPads I have in my collection.

I just buy it yesterday less than 50$ dollar(300 RMB contained delivery payment), it's performance good for running windows 10 lstc 2019, I'm already try to running Genshin Impact game just avg 20fps (lowest configure), buy still playable LOL!

Until X280/T480 the CPUs were not faster than the X230/T430 CPU. Only the GPU is considered an upgrade while the CPUs of X240/X250 are slower albeit less power/battery hungry.

@@mbarlev I don't own an X230, but I have an X220 and an X270, and the X270 is noticeably quicker, although I still like the classic keyboard on the X220.

I on the other hand have no experience with x260/70, only with T520/T440/50 which are slower than x230/T430 which I also own. Also according to synthetic benchmarks, it seems that X260/T460 was the "break-even" which matched x230/t430 performance but with better efficiency/battery life. It therefore makes sense that you found the X270 to be quicker than X220. @@geoffk777

There may be many reasons. For example, GPU overheating, PCI Express speed limiting or a simple CPU bottleneck

@@benchmarks31 but the opengl test is not supposed to be influenced by the CPU. Im running a Xeon 2697A V4 and ye, even though the GPU needs repasting, the fans are not even running high-speed during this test.

Were you running windows 11 or 10 during that test? In another PC, with a Ryzen and a 6700 XT, I could only get 130 too.

Hmm, interesting case. Check if your motherboard supports PCIE 4.0, check if PCIE is set to x16. It is also worth turning on the resizable bar. You may also have a problem with your power supply, which may not be providing enough power to the GPU. During the tests, I used Windows 10 22H2, freshly installed and optimized for better performance. If you think your graphics card needs replacing the thermal paste, it's a good idea to check the temperatures during the test.

I just checked your CPU specs. It does not support PCIE 4.0, only 3.0. This causes a small (a few percent) but noticeable drop in performance.

Yes

Can you specify what you mean?

laptop or desktop PC ?

This is a laptop. This can be easily seen by the "U" in the CPU suffix and the "M" in the graphics card name.

What i5 model?

@@benchmarks31 4590

It will work fine with this processor

45-50C is closer to normal idle temps

Did you manage to fix it?

I can also confirm 45-50c is true idle temp, although I get low 40s on core 2 and 3-5 more degrees on core 1. You are probably pasting it wrong, you need a very small dot on the 230x and nothing else. When you screw it back together make sure to do it in a cross X pattern and snug but not extra tight. Clean your system and I recommend Mint XFCE or MX Linux on it

Yes, but only if you can buy it under $70.
