The laptop has integrated AMD Radeon R5 Graphics which gives gaming performance lower than GeForce 820M and higher than Intel HD 9000 graphics. It can handle games such as F1 2014, FIFA 15, Sims 4, Risen 3:Titan Lords, Wolfenstein: The New Order, The Elder Scrolls Online, World of Warcraft, Diablo 2 etc… at low settings.
