10 Aug 2021 - Graphics card reviewed

The Radeon Sky 900 is a very low performing piece of gaming hardware and can probably only run indie system requirements.

DirectX 11 gaming system requirements will be met by this gpu.

Here is a performance review on how capable the Radeon Sky 900 is at running the more popular games of 2022. Specifically looking at this PC hardware’s ability to get suitable frames per second to play on Ultra game settings and what FPS it might get on 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen res. This card runs recommended graphics requirements of 202 games from the top 1000 most demanding games being played today.

First we looked at 1080p resolution for the Radeon Sky 900 performance to explore what sort of benchmarks it would achieve on the popular title Dying Light 2 and saw it deliver weak frames per second across the following graphics settings - Low: 0 FPS, Medium: 0 FPS, High: 0 FPS and Ultra: 0 FPS. We proceeded to look at Resident Evil 8 to see how that compared and saw that it returned a weak 0 FPS at Ultra 1080p.

We move on to 1440p, and tested Dying Light 2 which delivered weak FPS results. Here are the graphic presets - Low: 0 FPS, Medium: 0 FPS, High: 0 FPS and Ultra: 0 FPS. Next we have Resident Evil 8 running on Radeon Sky 900 which gets L: 0FPS, M: 0FPS, H: 0FPS, U: 0FPS. And for performance contrast the popular Grand Theft Auto VI is predicted to get L: 0FPS, M: 0FPS, H: 0FPS, U: 0FPS at 1440p. In summary we feel the Radeon Sky 900 running at 1440p is going to underperform if you try and run modern games.

How many years will the Radeon Sky 900 graphics card play newly released games and how long until you should consider upgrading the Radeon Sky 900 in your PC? We think this Radeon Sky 900 has around 6-12 months until an upgrade should be considered.

Whats a good PC graphics upgrade for the Radeon Sky 900? If you want an upgrade suggestion for the Radeon Sky 900 then a good choice would be RX 5000 Series Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB as this is better than 725 of the top 1000 most demanding game requirements with 62% better performance as well. Alternatively a good choice when looking to upgrade the Radeon Sky 900 would be the RX 5000 Series Radeon RX 5300 which meets 304 of the 1000 top game’s recommended system requirements and has 29% better performance.
