The following graphics card has similar performance to the RDNA3 iGPU:
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 [8]
The RTX 3050 is a low-profile graphics card that offers good performance for a variety of games and tasks. It is based on the Ampere architecture and features 2048 CUDA cores. The RTX 3050 also supports ray tracing and DLSS, which can improve performance and image quality in supported games.

**Key differences based on specifications**:
* **Architecture**: The RDNA3 iGPU is based on the RDNA 3 architecture, while the RTX 3050 is based on the Ampere architecture. The architecture differences can impact overall performance and features.
* **Cores**: The number of cores in the RDNA3 iGPU is specified as 12, while the exact number of cores in the RTX 3050 is not specified, but it typically falls in the range of 2048 CUDA cores. More cores can lead to better performance.
* **Clock Speed**: The clock speed of the RDNA3 iGPU is specified at 2.7 GHz, while the RTX 3050's clock speed is 1.85 GHz. Clock speed can affect performance but is not the sole indicator of performance.
* **Memory**: The RDNA3 iGPU uses GDDR5 memory, while the RTX 3050 typically uses GDDR6 memory. GDDR6 is generally faster than GDDR5, which can impact memory performance.
* **Memory Bus Width**: Both have a 128-bit memory bus width, indicating similar memory bandwidth capabilities.
* **Ray Tracing Support**: The RTX 3050 supports ray tracing, a feature that enhances graphics quality and realism in supported games, while ray tracing support for the RDNA3 iGPU is not specified.

Here is a table comparing the performance of the RDNA3 iGPU and the RTX 3050 in a few popular games:

| Game | RDNA3 iGPU | RTX 3050 |
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Cyberpunk 2077 | 30 FPS (1080p, Low | 45 FPS (1080p, Medium) |
| Fortnite | 60 FPS (1080p, Epic) | 90 FPS (1080p, Epic) |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | 40 FPS (1080p, Medium) | 55 FPS (1080p, Medium) |

Overall, the RTX 3050 offers slightly better performance than the RDNA3 iGPU, but the RDNA3 iGPU is still a very capable graphics card that can handle most games at 1080p resolution.

The RDNA 3 iGPU boasts a higher clock speed, but it has fewer cores and slightly lower memory bandwidth. However, the efficiency of the RDNA 3 architecture allows it to achieve comparable performance levels. This marks a significant improvement in integrated GPU capabilities, making it suitable for gaming at higher settings and resolutions without the need for a discrete graphics card.

Which graphics card you should choose depends on your budget and needs. If you are looking for the best possible performance, then the RTX 3050 is the better choice. However, if you are on a tight budget, then the RDNA3 iGPU is still a good option.

Also, The Radeon 780M iGPU's performance is comparable to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB graphics card and the NVIDIA RTX 2050. These are discrete graphics cards, and the iGPU's performance being on par with them is a noteworthy achievement for integrated graphics.

In some tests, the Radeon 780M iGPU has been found to be faster than the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q, which is another discrete graphics card. This demonstrates the iGPU's competitive performance in comparison to dedicated graphics options.
