Previously, the gaming performance of AMD's Radeon 890M "RDNA 3.5" integrated GPU (iGPU) compared to Intel’s Arc Xe GPUs in Meteor Lake CPUs has been explored by numerous places. The Radeon 890M impressed with its power efficiency and strong performance. Now, new benchmarks from TechEpiphany reveal how the Radeon 890M iGPU stacks up against NVIDIA's desktop GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card.
The tests were conducted on the same platform as before, using an ASUS VivoBook 16 laptop powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU and 32 GB of LPDDR5X-7500 RAM. The GPU operated at TDPs between 45 and 60W, fully unlocked. For a fair comparison, an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D desktop system with a GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB discrete GPU was also tested.
In terms of performance, the AMD Radeon 890M "RDNA 3.5" iGPU came close to matching the GTX 1650 in Devil May Cry 5 at 1080p (High), sometimes equaling the discrete GPU and other times falling short by 5-10 FPS. In God of War at 1080p (Original), the iGPU even outperformed the GTX 1650 in many instances. In Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, the Radeon 890M pulled ahead of the desktop GPU at 1080p (High).
In Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p (Low), the AMD Radeon 890M "RDNA 3.5" iGPU outpaced the GTX 1650 by up to 45%. Similarly, in Robocop at 1080p (85% scaling / Low), the iGPU was up to twice as fast. The First Descendant at 1080p (Medium) saw the iGPU performing 5-10% better than the GTX 1650, and in Forza Horizon 5 at 1080p (High), the iGPU demonstrated a substantial 40% performance lead thanks to its RDNA 3.5 architecture.
Finally, the iGPU's performance was compared in Tomb Raider 2013 and Shadow of The Tomb Raider. While the Radeon 890M was slightly slower than the GTX 1650 in the older game, it outperformed the discrete GPU in the newer title. Future driver updates could enhance this performance even further, as the RDNA 3.5 architecture is still relatively new. These benchmarks confirm that AMD's latest RDNA 3.5 iGPUs are highly capable, particularly for mobile devices like laptops.
