Radeon HD 7650M: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Radeon HD 7650M is the DDR3 variant of AMD's 2012 entry discrete line — the same recorded game table as its GDDR5 sibling, ranked a dozen places lower. This guide covers its 14 game benchmarks at 1080p and its two catalog hosts.

Where the HD 7650M sits in 2026

The composite ranks it #323 of 341 (score 1.0). The neighbors: UHD Graphics 710 (#320, 1.4), HD 8280 (#321, 1.3) and UHD Graphics 615 (#322, 1.3) above; the Quadro FX 2800M (#324, 1.0), HD 8210 (#325, 1.0) and HD 6490M (#326, 0.9) below. Nineteen places from the bottom — the price of DDR3 memory on a chip family that wanted GDDR5.

What the chip brings

The record lists 480 stream processors on a 40nm TeraScale 2 die, 1GB of DDR3, a 20W envelope and 0.43 TFLOPS. Public benchmarks: PassMark 421 — statistically identical to the GDDR5 sibling's 418 — with Fire Strike 700 actually a bit higher on this record. The composite's 12-place spread between the two variants is record noise, not silicon difference.

FPS in games at 1080p

The recorded table is shared with the HD 7570M record: legacy rows at their ceilings (CS:GO/Overwatch 240, GTA V/PUBG 140), then Valorant 30, Dota 2 14, Forza Horizon 4 and The Witcher 3 at 6, Counter-Strike 2 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Fortnite 2, and the Far Cry 5 / Forza Horizon 5 / Metro Exodus trio at 1. One table, two names — read them as a single chip family's evidence.

Laptops that carry it

Two hosts, both 2012 HP ProBooks: the 4540s ($117) and the 17-inch 4740s ($155) — the smaller and larger of hp's value-business duo. Same story as the sibling: display output and credibility, not frame rates.

Bottom line

Whichever of the two variants a listing names, the recorded evidence is the same: Dota 2 at 14, single digits beyond it, a machine for desk work with occasional nostalgic gaming. The 7650M's DDR3 tax lives in the ranking columns, not in the game table.
