GPU Test

Having analyzed and reported on the CPU tests let's move to those relating to the integrated graphics, the 6550D Radeon HD IGP.

The tests were carried out by setting the memory frequency on 1333MHz and 1866MHz.

Synthetic tests: 3DMark Vantage

Synthetic benchmark developed by Futuremark, necessarily requires the presence in the system of a video card with support for DirectX 10 API and a Windows Vista or 7 operating system. The benchmark consists of 6 separate tests: 4 focused on the GPU and 2 on the CPU. The tests are performed in up to 4 presets configured by Futuremark, characterized by a different level of workload in order to better reproduce the typical scenario of use of your system depending on the hardware configuration in use. The software allows you to set the Entry, Performance, High and Extreme configuration. The tests were done only in Entry and performance mode.

As expected the integrated GPU set the maximum value both with the RAM at clocked 1333MHz that at 1866MHz.

The gap with the HD 6450 discrete graphics card, which earns the third place is marked.
