Title: Ditched My GPU for a Mid-Range APU - Performance Loss?

Hey fellow techies, I recently swapped my NVIDIA GPU for a mid-range APU (Ryzen 5 5600G) and I'm experiencing some performance loss in games and 1080p video editing. I know APU's are supposed to be more power-efficient, but are they really worth the compromise? Has anyone else made a similar switch and seen similar results?

"Dude, ditching a GPU for an APU is a pretty big downgrade, especially if you're doing any kind of heavy gaming or compute tasks. You're going to take a significant hit in terms of performance, but it might be worth it if you're looking to build a more power-efficient system. Has anyone else gone through this kind of transition?"

"Dude, I'm curious - what kind of workload are you running? If you're doing light gaming and rendering, a mid-range APU might not be a huge loss. But if you're heavily into 4K gaming or video editing, yeah, you might feel the performance hit"
