AMD Radeon RX Vega 11: Benchmarks, Games, and Processors

AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 is the integrated graphics core for Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 5 3400G. In 2026, Vega 11 still handles office tasks, video playback, and older games, but it is too slow for new demanding titles.

Vega 11 in Different Ryzen Processors

Radeon RX Vega 11 consists of 11 compute units and 704 stream processors. It does not have dedicated video memory; the GPU uses system DDR4.

The frequency of Vega 11 reaches 1250 MHz in the Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE, and 1400 MHz in the Ryzen 5 3400G.

The overall performance depends on the APU version, DDR4 frequency, and memory mode.

Performance in Benchmarks

Radeon RX Vega 11 scores an average of about 1075 points in 3DMark Time Spy and 936 points in Time Spy Graphics.

The variation between systems is related to DDR4 frequency, number of memory channels, power consumption limits, and BIOS settings.

In systems with dual-channel memory, Vega 11 scores around 14,000-15,500 points in Geekbench 6 OpenCL. With a single memory stick, scores are around 11,000 points.

Ryzen with Vega 11 vs. Newer APUs

Ryzen 5 2400G and 3400G are still found new, mainly as leftover stock and OEM offerings. Their low price makes them appealing for older AM4 systems, but when building a new computer, they should be compared with later APUs.

Processor Cores / Threads Integrated Graphics GPU Frequency Approximate New Price
Ryzen 5 2400G 4 / 8 Vega 11 up to 1250 MHz from €50
Ryzen 5 3400G 4 / 8 Vega 11 up to 1400 MHz €65-75
Ryzen 5 4600G 6 / 12 Vega 7 up to 1900 MHz around €130
Ryzen 5 5600G 6 / 12 Vega 7 up to 1900 MHz around €165

Of the two processors with Vega 11, it makes more sense to choose the Ryzen 5 3400G. The price difference compared to the 2400G is minimal, and the CPU and graphics frequencies are higher.

The number of compute units does not show a real difference between generations. The Ryzen 5 5600G has only 7 CU compared to 11 CU on the Ryzen 5 3400G, but its integrated graphics are faster. In gaming tests, the advantage is about 12-13%.

The difference in CPU performance is even more noticeable. Ryzen 5 4600G and 5600G feature 6 cores and 12 threads instead of 4 cores and 8 threads found in the 2400G and 3400G.

Ryzen 5 3400G for €65-75 makes sense as a budget upgrade for an existing AM4 system without a discrete graphics card. The Ryzen 5 2400G at around €50 is justified only if the budget is minimal.

For a new build, it's better to pay extra for the Ryzen 5 4600G or 5600G. The higher CPU performance provides greater headroom for modern applications, multitasking, and subsequent installation of a discrete graphics card.

Gaming Tests

In the Ryzen 5 3400G, Vega 11 operates at a frequency of up to 1400 MHz. Below are the results for a system with 16 GB of dual-channel DDR4-3200.

Tests were conducted at low or minimum graphics settings.

Game 1080p 900p 720p
GTA V 56 FPS - more than 70 FPS
Shadow of the Tomb Raider 39 FPS 48 FPS 61 FPS
Far Cry 5 about 31 FPS about 42 FPS about 59 FPS
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided about 29 FPS - 53 FPS

For new AAA games, Vega 11 is already too slow. The main limitations are the low GPU speed by today’s standards and the bandwidth of DDR4.

Why Dual-Channel Memory is So Important

Radeon RX Vega 11 uses system DDR4 instead of dedicated video memory; therefore, RAM bandwidth directly affects FPS.

For Vega 11, it's better to use two identical memory sticks. With the same frequency, Vega 11 usually performs better with 2 x 8 GB than with one 16 GB stick.

Faster DDR4 also boosts GPU speed, so if the platform supports it, it’s advisable to use DDR4-2933 or DDR4-3200 instead of DDR4-2133/2400.

Work and Multimedia

Browsers, office applications, and video playback do not pose a significant load for Vega 11. For Blender, modern video editing, and GPU computing, Vega 11 is already too slow.

Integrated Radeon graphics based on the RDNA architecture are significantly faster than Vega 11 in both gaming and productivity applications.

Conclusion

Radeon RX Vega 11 remains relevant primarily in inexpensive AM4 systems. The Ryzen 5 3400G for €65-75 can be a low-cost upgrade for an existing computer without a discrete graphics card.

For a new build, it’s better to pay extra for the Ryzen 5 4600G or 5600G. They offer 6 cores and 12 threads, and the integrated graphics of the Ryzen 5 5600G are about 12-13% faster in games than Vega 11 in the Ryzen 5 3400G.

Memory Bus
?
The memory bus width refers to the number of bits of data that the video memory can transfer within a single clock cycle. The larger the bus width, the greater the amount of data that can be transmitted instantaneously, making it one of the crucial parameters of video memory. The memory bandwidth is calculated as: Memory Bandwidth = Memory Frequency x Memory Bus Width / 8. Therefore, when the memory frequencies are similar, the memory bus width will determine the size of the memory bandwidth.
