AMD Radeon R5 M255

The Radeon R5 M255 is a GPU from AMD released in 2014. This chip has a bad gaming score with 204 points in our GPU benchmark.

The Radeon R5 M255 has 4 GiB of DDR3 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 15 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 64 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 R5 M255 GPU core runs at a frequency of 925 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 940 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.

As for rendering API support, the Radeon R5 M255 supports up to DirectX 11.2. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.3 features are supported. Newer APIs are usually more efficient, allowing for better performance in games and better graphical effects.
