Question about AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
hello, i would like to upgrade my old pc (dec. graphics) cheaply, with new mb, cpu with intergr. graphics and new ram, to play movies in high quality. ask: - is this graphic (radeon vega 8) enough to play large files 50bg+, HDR 4K hevc, atmos/vision, in highest quality ? (mostly 24fps, rarely 30) -- is a 450 mb with hdmi 2.0 enough for this purpose ? - or do i need more, e.g. radeon vega 11 or intel uhd 630 ? would that bring advantages concerning video ? - how much ram would be necessary ? as i said, it's about video, not gaming.

This would not really be about CPU or GPU performance, but whether the GPU has dedicated hardware acceleration for video decoding of the corresponding containers. According to this review, yes: https://www.guru3d.com/articles-p...
I haven't had any problems with video playback myself so far. On page 2 of the same review you will find a table with the supported hardware decoders, according to which MPEG2 and VC-1 are only supported up to FHD, the rest UHD 60Hz. As far as I understand it, these are very old codecs that were officially only specified up to FHD.
About the RAM: I would say 8GB should be enough, but I installed 16GB myself because it cost the same.
About HDMI: HDMI 2.0 should be enough for UHD 60Hz. Unless you want to use eARC and Dynamic HDR.
