To get the index we compare the characteristics of video cards and their relative prices.

Technical specs

HD Graphics's general performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU base clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of HD Graphics's performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider its benchmark and gaming test results.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	48	of 18432 (AD102)
Core clock speed	166 MHz	of 2610 (Radeon RX 6500 XT)
Boost clock speed	1050 MHz	of 2903 (Radeon Pro W6600)
Number of transistors	392 million	of 14400 (GeForce GTX 1080 SLI Mobile)
Manufacturing process technology	22 nm	of 4 (H100 PCIe)
Thermal design power (TDP)	35 Watt	of 900 (Tesla S2050)
Texture fill rate	6.300	of 939.8 (H100 SXM5)
Floating-point performance	15.6 gflops	of 16384 (Radeon Pro Duo)

Compatibility, dimensions and requirements

Information on HD Graphics's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility).

Interface	PCIe 1.0 x16
Width	IGP

Memory

Parameters of memory installed on HD Graphics: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors don't have dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	System Shared
Maximum RAM amount	System Shared	of 128 (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
Memory bus width	System Shared	of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
Memory clock speed	System Shared	of 21000 (GeForce RTX 3090 Ti)

Video outputs and ports

Types and number of video connectors present on HD Graphics. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference video cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model.

Display Connectors

No outputs

API support

APIs supported by HD Graphics, sometimes including their particular versions.

DirectX	11.1 (11_0)
Shader Model	5.0
OpenGL	4.0	of 4.6 (GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile)
OpenCL	1.2
Vulkan	1.1.80

Benchmark performance

Non-gaming benchmark performance of HD Graphics. Note that overall benchmark performance is measured in points in 0-100 range.

Overall score

This is our combined benchmark performance rating. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.

Passmark
3DMark Fire Strike Graphics

Passmark

This is probably the most ubiquitous benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

Benchmark coverage: 26%

HD Graphics 143

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics

Fire Strike is a DirectX 11 benchmark for gaming PCs. It features two separate tests displaying a fight between a humanoid and a fiery creature seemingly made of lava. Using 1920x1080 resolution, Fire Strike shows off some realistic enough graphics and is quite taxing on hardware.

Benchmark coverage: 13%

Game benchmarks

Let's see how good HD Graphics is for gaming. Particular gaming benchmark results are measured in frames per second. Comparisons with game system requirements are included, but remember that sometimes official requirements may reflect reality inaccurately.
