AMD Radeon HD 8570 Benchmark and Specs

AMD Radeon HD 8570

The Radeon HD 8570 is a GPU from AMD. This chip has a bad gaming score with 167 points in our GPU benchmark.

The Radeon HD 8570 has 2 GiB of memory. More memory is beneficial when gaming at high resolutions as the memory needs to store the frame buffer and all the game textures. If you run out of memory, you will experience poor performance as the GPU needs to swap data in and out of the memory as it is used.

In terms of clock speed, the Radeon HD 8570 GPU core runs at a frequency of 730 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.

As for rendering API support, the Radeon HD 8570 supports up to DirectX 11.1. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.4 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.

Power and thermals for the AMD Radeon HD 8570 are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 66 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
