Radeon RX Vega M GL: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

Radeon RX Vega M GL — 7 games benchmarked at 1080p, 2 models in the catalog.

Radeon RX Vega M GL — 7 games benchmarked at 1080p , 2 laptop models in the used-laptop catalog . This guide covers what the chip delivers in games, where it sits among mobile GPUs in 2026, and which laptops carry it.

The Radeon RX Vega M GL is one of the catalog's genuine rarities: a 2018 multi-chip package that married an Intel CPU with AMD graphics and 4GB of HBM2 memory. This guide covers its 7 recorded game benchmarks at 1080p — one of the shortest tables in the corpus — and its two listings.

Where the Vega M GL sits in 2026

The composite ranks it #254 of 341 (score 9.5). The neighbors: UHD Graphics 730 (#251, 10.5), Iris Pro P6300 (#252, 10.1) and 930MX (#253, 9.6) above; the Quadro 4000M (#255, 8.6), UHD Graphics 630 (#256, 8.3) and Radeon 520 (#257, 7.9) below. For all its exotic packaging, the recorded composite and table agree: modest integrated-class performance, exotic memory notwithstanding.

What the chip brings

The record is the story: 1280 shader cores on a 14nm Polaris 22 die, 4GB of HBM2 on a 1024-bit bus at 179GB/s, up to 1011MHz, a 65W package envelope and 2.59 TFLOPS. HBM2 and a kilobit-wide bus are specification poetry no other mobile record on these pages carries — the memory subsystem of a flagship welded to a mid-tier GPU. Public benchmark: PassMark 3937.

FPS in games at 1080p

Only seven games recorded: Dota 2 at 65, Fortnite 55, The Witcher 3 at 24 — with the legacy ceiling rows (CS:GO/Overwatch 240, GTA V/PUBG 140) above them. A short table for a short-lived product: playable older titles, mid-single-digit library, and a Witcher 3 row that frames the tier honestly.

Laptops that carry it

Two listings, one machine: the Dell XPS 15 9575 and the same chassis listed again as "XPS 15 9575 2 in 1" — at $590 and $274, a wide price spread between two records of one convertible. The Kaby Lake-G package shipped in only a handful of designs, and this catalog preserves exactly one of them, twice.

Bottom line

The Vega M GL is a collector's answer to a question the market asked once: Intel CPU, AMD GPU and HBM2 in a single package. The ranking treats it as unremarkable (#254), the table treats it as modest, and the two-listing roster treats it as rare — all three readings are true at once. At a $274 sighting it is one of the more conversation-worthy buys in this catalog.
