AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 Barcelo integrated Graphics

AMD Radeon Vega 6 (Barcelo) is an integrated graphics for Ryzen 5000/7000 series laptop/notebook APUs launched on Jan 6th, 2022. It is also known as AMD Radeon graphics 384SP (Ryzen 5000/7000).

A Cezanne refresh known as “Barcelo” is used in Ryzen 5 5500H and Ryzen 3 7330U APUs.

I have collected all the data from reputable sites like Techpowerup, Notebook-Check, etc. for the specs and performance of the Radeon RX Vega 6 integrated graphics.

Let’s dive into all the capabilities, specs, benchmarks, and gaming performance of the AMD Radeon graphics (igpu) 6cu/384SP.

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.

Gaming Performance

Gaming performance is to measure how well this integrated graphics card performs in gaming by running multiple games on it and calculating the average fps and 1% lows.

The gaming benchmark is from the Ryzen 3 7330U integrated GPU, which is Radeon RX Vega 6 clocked at 1.8 GHz.

The Test System is the Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 3 27ALC6 with Ryzen 3 7330U and RX Vega 6 i-GPU, 16GB DDR4-3200 MHz RAM, 512GB SSD, and Win 10.

Is the AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 good for gaming?

It is not good for 1080p gaming, as the above benchmark shows that 720p/900p low gaming is possible. only a few older and optimized games ran smoothly at 1080p low/normal settings.

Without using FSR 1080p gaming is worse. Modern AAA titles can’t run even on 720p/900p low but with FSR, the playable framerate of 30-45 FPS is possible.

What is the Radeon RX Vega 6 Nvidia equivalent?

Radeon RX Vega 6 easily beats the Nvidia MX130 mobile dedicated GPU and is equivalent to Nvidia Geforce MX150 in terms of performance on a notebook.

Regarding desktops, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 GPU beats the Nvidia GTX 460, is equivalent to the GT 1030, and slightly gets beaten out by a 2% margin.
