About tenbryx
I’m tenbryx and I run a YouTube channel about PC gaming on budget hardware. I buy ordinary parts, put them in my own PCs and record how games actually play on them. This site collects the numbers from those videos: 366 games so far.
How I test
- Every result is from real gameplay, not from a spec sheet. When a game’s built-in benchmark is used, the setting says so.
- FPS come from the MSI Afterburner overlay you can see in each video. The site shows the average FPS stated for each run.
- CPU and GPU run at stock clocks unless the video is about overclocking. Driver versions and other details are listed on each rig page.
- Recording costs a few FPS: around 3 FPS with OBS on the RX 9060 XT rig, more on the weaker machines.
- Results marked with FSR, frame generation or a render scale use upscaling. The big number for each game is the best result without upscaling, when such a test exists.
- Verdicts: smooth is 60+ FPS, playable is 30–59 FPS, struggles is under 30 FPS.
Test rigs
- Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB + Ryzen 5 5600G: The current test rig. New games at 1080p and 1440p, with and without FSR.
- Radeon RX 6600 8GB + Ryzen 5 5600G: The budget 1080p build behind most of the tests from 2023 to 2025.
- Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics: Gaming with no graphics card at all, only the graphics built into the CPU. What runs at 720p, 900p and 1080p.
- Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics: The cheapest PC on the channel: an older quad-core with integrated graphics. Mostly 720p tests.
- Asus N56JR laptop (Core i7-4700HQ + GTX 760M): A ten-year-old laptop. Shows what still runs on an old mobile GPU.
Desk gear
Used with every rig. The monitor is a 1080p 60 Hz panel, so FPS above 60 are measured, not seen.
