Opinion and specs
Dedicated graphics
Our verdict
BasicAMD Radeon 540X is a basic dedicated graphics card, but not one that runs today's games: it is there to speed up video and drive external displays. It has 2 GB of memory.
It is currently fitted in a single laptop, which costs $359.
Above $399 there are clearly better options: for that money the Intel Iris Xe Graphics is 60% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
