Video Memory (VRAM) capacity and Type

It tells how much VRAM Radeon Vega 6 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.

The Radeon Vega 6 VRAM allocation max. capability is only 1GB, which can be increased via BIOS.

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.

Is AMD Radeon Vega 6 graphics good for gaming?

Vega 6 can only play games at 720p low settings. 1080p gaming is worse, However, E-Sports and less demanding titles are playable at 1080p Low with some tweaking but still stuttery.

Modern AAA titles can’t run even on 720p low but with FSR, the playable framerate of 30 FPS is possible.

What is the Radeon Vega 6 Nvidia equivalent?

Radeon Vega 6 easily beats the Nvidia 930M mobile dedicated GPU and is equivalent to the Nvidia Geforce 930MX in terms of performance.
