Hardware Does the 7570M really suck that bad

[Dominator211]

I recently got a laptop with a AMD Redeon 7570M Its a fine card for web browseing and video watching. Ive tried a handful of games over the past few hours and it seems with specific ones no matter what i do the performance always seems subpar. Regardless witht the settings. Any way i could squeeze just a little more out of this thing or am I really SOL on this one. This card doesfall into the minimum spec requirements of all games tested.

Had a quick look at benchmarks and it can play games circa 2013 at low settings just fine.

The main issue is simply that it’s an old GPU, which has been heavily undervolted due to being designed for laptops. Laptop graphics don’t age nearly as well as their desktop counterparts.

Of course, it also depends on what CPU, RAM and Drive it’s paired with. Especially, if the laptop is using a hard drive, swap in a SSD right away. The difference is night and day on any laptop, and you can usually find 120-240GB SSDs for next to nothing.

It sucked when it was new. So, yeah, it's terrible.
