AMD Radeon 540X

The Radeon 540X is a dedicated entry-level graphics card for laptops that was released in 2018. It uses 8 CUs (compute units = 512 shaders) and a 64 bit memory bus with usually 2 GB GDDR5 graphics memory. Compared to the similar named Radeon RX 540X, the non-RX model features a smaller memory bus and a greatly reduced pixel-fillrate (according to AMD). The architecture is based on the 4th gen of GCN (according to AMD) and GPU-Z identifies the chip with the codename "Lexa".
The gaming performance is positioned in the entry level and therefore only a few modern games are playable fluently. See our RX 540 page for game benchmarks.
