GPU Frequencies
In desktop/notebook GPUs, the graphics cards are tuned according to their manufacturers/Board partners, depending on which frequencies they want in their notebook/desktop GPUs.
If they want power efficiency, they want to tune the frequencies lower than normal, resulting in less power consumption and loss of performance.
If they want performance, they will either let the frequencies default or tune the frequencies a little higher for more performance. Hence, the GPU will consume more power.
The higher the clock speed, the better the GPU performance.
Base Clock | Boost Clock | FP16 (Half) | FP32 (Float) | FP64 (Double) | Pixel Rate | Texture Rate |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
800 MHz | 2.70 GHz | 8.29 TFLOPS | 4.147 TFLOPS | 0.259 TFLOPS | 86.40 GPixel/s | 129.6 GTexel/s |

The Radeon 780m tflops is 4.45 TFLOPS when it is clocked at 2.9 – 3.0 GHz speed.
Video Memory (VRAM) capacity and Type
It tells how much VRAM Radeon 780M GPU has, VRAM type, size, bus, and bandwidth. Since this is an i-GPU, it doesn’t have a dedicated VRAM and uses a part of the system RAM.
Memory Size | System Shared |
Memory Type | System Shared |
Memory Bus | System Shared |
Bandwidth | System Dependent |
AMD Radeon 780m VRAM is a system-shared memory. Why? because it is an integrated graphics card.

Synthetic Benchmark Performance
These benchmarks are measured by GPU benchmarking software like 3DMark Time Spy graphics score, 3DMark Fire strike graphics, Passmark Performance Testsuite, and Geekbench 6.2.
What is the Passmark Performance Test suite?
The Passmark performance test suite is a 3D benchmark designed for video cards by using the DirectX feature.
It puts a load on the GPU for various DirectX versions like DX9, DX10, DX11, and DX12 provides separate benchmark results, and gives you the average G3D mark score.
What is the 3D Mark Time Spy benchmark?
It calculates both the CPU and GPU performance and gives you the system’s overall score. It also ranks your overall score on the internet and ranks your system accordingly.
What is the 3D Mark Fire Strike benchmark?
It is a standard to test your gaming PC graphics render capability in detail and complexity which is quite taxing to the gaming hardware. It uses DirectX 11 API and renders at 1080P resolution.
What is the Geekbench 6 GPU benchmark?
Geekbench 6 GPU benchmarks your graphics card computing power in gaming, image processing, video editing, photography, and machine learning. It tests your GPU Open CL, metal, and Vulkan score.
Benchmark Tool | Ryzen 7 8700G (i-GPU 780M 2.9GHz) | Ryzen 9 7940HS (i-GPU 780M 2.8GHz) |
---|---|---|
3DMark Time Spy Graphics | 3162 | 2632 |
3DMark Firestrike Graphics | 9251 | 7899 |
Open CL | 29,244 | 31670 |
Vulkan | 35427 | 31181 |
Passmark | No Data | 7107 |
If you use DDR5-7200 RAM, both 3DMark Time spy and Firestrike scores will jump to 3555 and 9823. Even Open CL, Vulkan, and Passmark scores should jump a bit due to faster DDR5 RAM.
Gaming Performance
Gaming performance is measured by running multiple games on this integrated graphics card and calculating the average fps and 1% lows.
The gaming benchmark is from the Ryzen 7 8700G integrated GPU, which is Radeon 780m.
The test Setup is a Ryzen 7 8700G CPU and Radeon 780M i-GPU, Teamgroup DDR5-6000 RAM (2x 16GB), Asrock A620M-HDV motherboard, Win 11, Bequite 550W PSU, and WD Black SN770 500GB SSD.

Is the AMD Radeon 780M good for gaming?
For the i-GPU, the Radeon 780M is the beast and beats most entry-level dedicated graphics cards, is capable of running games at 1080p low/med settings with some modern AAA titles requiring FSR.
The i-GPU will give you a playable experience though the price is around $329 in the US and Rs. 34,889 in India.
Is it worth it for a gaming PC? no, it is not. It is better to get a dedicated GPU like RX6600 and a 6-core CPU which will give you a much better gaming experience at this price point.
Radeon 780M on a notebook without a dedicated GPU will be worth it as you do not have the option to upgrade in laptops.
What is the Radeon 780M equivalent GPU to Nvidia?
Radeon 780m easily beats the Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti mobile dedicated GPU and is equivalent to the GTX 1650 mobile in terms of performance on a notebook.
Regarding desktops, the Radeon 780M GPU beats the GTX 1050 Ti and is equivalent to the GTX 1650 and GTX 1060 GB. It comes fairly close to GTX 1650 and GTX 1060 in gaming performance.
