The only thing I like about this GPU is that it is able to run Mass Effect 3 and similarly aged games at FHD at about 50 fps without demanding much cooling at all. Other than that this GPU is pretty abysmal, as it lags severely even during light loads while displaying simple SolidWorks models or running any game newer than ME3.

Genuinely the least durable thing I've ever seen, burns out in 5 microseconds (ASUS K501UB, i5-6200U + 8GB RAM)

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.
