Radeon 780M: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Radeon 780M is AMD's flagship Phoenix integrated GPU — 768 RDNA 3 stream processors inside Ryzen 7040/8040-series processors, the strongest iGPU of its generation. This guide covers its 16 benchmarked games at 1080p on the high preset and the 4 catalog models matched to it.

Where the Radeon 780M sits in 2026

A catalog score of 49.3 ranks it 127th of 341 — the top third of the table, extraordinary territory for integrated graphics. The neighbors: the RX 6550M (50.2), RX 6500M (49.6) and the 780M Graphics sibling record (49.4) above; the GeForce MX550 (49.1), GTX 1650 Max-Q (48.6) and RX 6600S (48.4) below. Read that again: this iGPU ranks above a GTX 1650 Max-Q and level with entry discrete RDNA cards. The «no discrete GPU needed» era is this chip's headline.

What the chip brings

RDNA 3 on TSMC 4nm, Phoenix silicon: 768 stream processors boosting to 2900MHz, system-shared memory in a 15W-class APU envelope (scaling with the host's power budget), full DirectX/OpenGL/OpenCL/Vulkan support. Public benchmarks: PassMark 6804, Time Spy 2822, Fire Strike 7983, compute at 33596 (Vulkan) and 28866 (OpenCL) — numbers that embarrass many dedicated cards of five years ago.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset: Counter-Strike 2 at 119, Valorant at 116, DOTA 2 at 100, Fortnite at 90, Battlefield 5 at 70, Forza Horizon 4 and 5 at 65 each, The Witcher 3 at 46, Far Cry 5 at 45. The heavy tier holds better than any iGPU before it: Cyberpunk 2077 at 39, Metro Exodus at 29, the Resident Evil 4 remake at 25. High-settings esports and medium-settings triple-A — a genuine entry-gaming platform on its own.

Laptops that carry it

Four listings are matched: ASUS Vivobook 18 (2025) at $765, ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED UM3406 (2025) at $1232, HP Pavilion 16 (2024) at $700 and HP EliteBook 845 G10 (2023) at $582. Fleet medians: best-CPU 84.7, performance index 68.9, energy efficiency 89.6, mobility 67.5 — premium thin machines whose graphics median equals this chip. That combination (top-quartile CPU, top-tier iGPU, high efficiency) is exactly the modern thin-and-light formula.

Bottom line

The 780M is the integrated GPU that closed the entry-gaming gap: a mid-table ranking, a GTX-1650-beating profile and a game table that plays the whole catalog at 1080p with settings care. Its four host machines are efficient, well-built and moderately priced. For anyone who wants one machine without dGPU weight, noise or cost, this chip is the standard to check everything else against.
