AMD A4-5000 | AMD Radeon HD 8330 | 11.60" | 1.3 kg
The AMD Radeon HD 8330 is an integrated DirectX 11.1 graphics card typically paired with Kabini-class APUs (for example, the A4-5000). It has 128 shader cores and two Compute Units based on the GCN architecture and is clocked at 500 MHz with no support for Turbo. The graphics card does not have dedicated VRAM and will access the main memory of the system (up to single-channel DDR3L-1600).
The HD 8330 integrates both UVD 4.2 and VCE 2.0 video encoders. It supports up to two external monitors via VGA, DVI, HDMI 1.4a and DisplayPort 1.2.
Depending on the benchmark, the performance of the Radeon HD 8330 is similar to the average Intel HD Graphics 4000. This is on par with a dedicated Radeon HD 7470M, but still too slow for demanding games as of 2013/2014. However, many older and less demanding games will run fluently if the performance of the CPU is sufficient.

The following benchmarks stem from our benchmarks of review laptops. The performance depends on the used graphics memory, clock rate, processor, system settings, drivers, and operating systems. So the results don't have to be representative for all laptops with this GPU. For detailed information on the benchmark results, click on the fps number.

Playing a 5 vs 5 with LoL 5.3 in 1080p, maximum detail settings an anti-aliasing resulted in slightly stuttering 26 fps on average (minimum 21 fps). Turning off AA and reducing the details to "high" resulted in an average frame rate of over 30fps. In med we achieved 43 fps (min 31) and reducing the details to minimum (still 1080p) only gained 6 more (48 fps, min 38 fps).
