This card has a better performance than radeon 520 , that is the one I'm comparing to. It's a decent low end card for portable devices.

It was a low-medium end card when it lauched in 2015 and in 2021 it's certainly very low end. Most Xbox 360 and PS3 era games easily run on high-medium graphics at 60 fps, while Xbox One and PS4 era games until 2018 - 2019 run on medium - low settings on 30 fps. Many new games from 2019 barely run or don't run at all. Some exceptions are Resident Evil 2, 3, Monster Hunter Rise, GTA Definitive Edition, but most new games won't work with this GPU.

I have this video card on my asus laptop. In general, it runs games (even many more powerful games: with minimum settings). I have over 70 paid games on steam. Works nice: Hitman 3, GTA 5, Euro Truck Simulator 2, rdr2, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, Arma3, far cry 5, etc. The only thing I haven't been able to play in my catalog is: rust, mafia 3, far cry 6, tom clancy's ghost recon breakpoint.
