The short answer
In a typical one of 8 popular games at 1080p High with an RTX 5090, the Ryzen 5 5600G gets about 100 FPS and the Ryzen 7 5700G about 108 FPS. With a slower graphics card, or at 1440p and 4K, the card sets the FPS more often and the gap gets smaller.
Both use the AM4 socket. Both take DDR4 memory. Cores and threads: 6 / 12 on the Ryzen 5 5600G, 8 / 16 on the Ryzen 7 5700G. Both come with a cooler in the box.
Ryzen 5 5600G vs Ryzen 7 5700G: FPS in popular games
Estimated FPS at 1080p High with 32 GB RAM (Ryzen 5 5600G / Ryzen 7 5700G in each column). With an RTX 5090, the processor sets the frame rate wherever it can. Values above 500 show as 500+. See FPS for your own PC.
| Game | RTX 5090 | RTX 5060 |
|---|---|---|
| Counter-Strike 2 | 231 / 248 | 231 / 248 |
| Valorant | 254 / 272 | 254 / 272 |
| Fortnite | 111 / 119 | 111 / 119 |
| Apex Legends | 101 / 109 | 101 / 109 |
| Marvel Rivals | 78 / 84 | 78 / 84 |
| Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 | 100 / 108 | 100 / 108 |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 81 / 87 | 81 / 87 |
| Baldur's Gate 3 | 82 / 88 | 82 / 88 |
With a mid-range graphics card such as an RTX 5060, the card sets the frame rate in more games, so the difference between the two processors is smaller.
