Radeon HD 6470M: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Radeon HD 6470M was the ubiquitous 2011 entry discrete GPU — the option hp put across its EliteBook, ProBook and Pavilion lines alike. This guide covers its 11 recorded game benchmarks at 1080p and the seven catalog machines that match it.

Where the HD 6470M sits in 2026

The composite ranks it #334 of 341 (score 0.5). The neighbors: HD 6480G (#331, 0.6), Mobility HD 5470 (#332, 0.6) and Quadro FX 880M (#333, 0.6) above; the GT 230M (#335, 0.5), NVS 3100M (#336, 0.5) and 8600M GT (#337, 0.4) below. Seven places from the bottom — the company it keeps is a museum wing of 2009-11 parts.

What the chip brings

The record lists 160 stream processors on a 40nm TeraScale 2 die codenamed Seymour, 1GB of DDR3 on a 64-bit bus (12GB/s), a 25W envelope and 0.22 TFLOPS. Public benchmark: PassMark 225. Modest even by the standards of the year it shipped — a spec-sheet up-sell, not a component.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset: legacy ceilings (CS:GO/Overwatch 240, GTA V/PUBG 140), Valorant 27, Dota 2 10, The Witcher 3 6, Forza Horizon 4 4, Counter-Strike 2 2, Fortnite 2, Cyberpunk 2077 1. The bottom-tier baseline, one frame short of the 7420G class above it.

Laptops that carry it — or the name

Seven listings: the honest 2011 core — EliteBook 8560p ($140), ProBook 6560b ($127), ProBook 4330s ($115, shared with the 6490M page), 4730s ($182), 4530s ($127), Pavilion G6-1217sg ($137) — plus one Pavilion g6-1195sg listing dated 2019 at $125. That last date is the listing's, not the chip's: the g6 nameplate lived long enough to collect later listings, so read the year on the row as provenance, not as a 2019-era 6470M revival.

Bottom line

The HD 6470M is the archetypal entry option of its year — the GPU a million buyers added for $50 and forgot. In 2026 it identifies a class of $115-182 hp machines that are honest office hardware, with a game table whose last playable row is Dota 2.
