Radeon HD 7310 Game Requirement Analysis
Overview
Radeon HD 7310 is an Integrated Graphics Card, on the APU E1-1200 Dual Core based, on the second revision of the Terascale Architecture.
Architecture
The Second variant of the Terascale 2 Architecture is still manufactured with a 40nm technology and despite allowing more Stream Cores, their design remains more or less the same compared to the first variant.
GPU
It equips a GPU codenamed Loveland which has 1 Compute Units activated and thus offers 80 Shader Processing Units, 8 TMUs and 4 ROPs. The Central Unit Runs at 500MHz.
Memory
The GPU Shares the System's RAM which varies from laptop to laptop. Typically, the GPU reserves 1GB. Depending on whether or not the system's RAM is Dual-Channeled, it can access either a 64-bit or 128-bit memory interface. The operating memory clock also depends on the at which speed the System's RAM is running and is limited by the highest operating speed that the Processor supports. In this case, it is 533MHz.
It is then obvious the Memory Bandwidth depends on a lot of factors and thus Radeon HD 7310's performance may vary from system to system.
Features
DirectX 11.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for HD3D, Eyefinity, App Acceleration, PowerPlay and other technologies.
Performance
Gaming benchmarks put its performance somewhat below Intel's HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge).
System Suggestions
We recommend 4GB of RAM for a system with Radeon HD 7310.
