Review and testing of the AMD Radeon 535 video card : Test | Specs | CPU | Config

The AMD Radeon 535 (530X) graphics card is a discrete graphics adapter for laptops that replaced the Radeon 530. In fact, the new product is not a rebranding of previous generation video cards, as is often the case with laptop video card manufacturers, but a new level solution on a different architecture. This mobile graphics adapter is based on the Polaris 24 XT architecture, and not the Weston PRO (GCN 3.0) of the Radeon 530, so you should expect a slight increase in graphics performance from the new product compared to its predecessor.

As noted, the Radeon RX 535 is based on 28 ns. m. Polaris 24 architecture. The Polaris 24 graphics processor is a medium-sized chip with a crystal area of ​​125 mm2 and 1.550 million transistors. The graphics chip contains 384 Shading Units, 24 texture units and 8 ROPs. As for the frequencies at which the graphics processor works, they are 730 MHz, – 1024 MHz. AMD has equipped the Radeon RX 535 with 2GB of GDDR5 memory, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The power consumption of the video card is 50 watts maximum.

Radeon Radeon RX 535 has full support for modern gaming APIs, which include DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5 and Vulcan 1.0, as well as API for professional tasks – OpenCL 2.0. The video card also boasts a proprietary hardware encoder called AMD VCE.

Literally FPS stands for “Frame per second”, or frames per second. Accordingly, the larger this number, the smoother the picture will be on the display during the game. How much FPS is needed for a comfortable game? It is difficult to unequivocally answer this question, if only because in different game engines with the same number of frames per second, the image quality can be different. However, there is a widespread belief that 30 FPS will be enough for a smooth game.

In modern games, the Radeon 535 can only provide low graphics settings in FullHD resolution. In fact, the Radeon 535 is a budget-level graphics adapter and you should not expect high results from it. Next, we tested the AMD Radeon 535 in popular games at low graphics settings with a display resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, based on 60 frames per second (FPS).
