AMD Radeon HD 8790M

The Radeon HD 8790M is an AMD GPU. This GPU is bad at gaming with a score of 46 points in our PC benchmark.

The Radeon HD 8790M has 2 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 62 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 128 bits. When choosing a GPU, plan ahead and select a model with enough memory for your needs. High resolutions such as 4K require significantly more memory than 1080p as there is more data to display on the screen.

In terms of clock speed, the Radeon HD 8790M GPU core runs at a frequency of 850 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 850 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 8790M supports up to DirectX 11.1. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.4 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.
