This section provides details about the physical dimensions of Radeon HD 6480G and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).
| Interface | IGP |
VRAM capacity and type
Parameters of memory installed on Radeon HD 6480G: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | System Shared | |
| Maximum RAM amount | System Shared | of 288 GB (Radeon Instinct MI325X) |
| Memory bus width | System Shared | of 8192 Bit (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory clock speed | System Shared | of 20000 (RTX 5000 Ada Generation Mobile) |
| Shared memory | + |
Connectivity and outputs
Types and number of video connectors present on Radeon HD 6480G. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.
| Display Connectors | No outputs |
API and SDK compatibility
APIs supported by Radeon HD 6480G, sometimes including their particular versions.
| DirectX | 11.2 (11_0) | |
| Shader Model | 5.0 | |
| OpenGL | 4.4 | of 4.6 (GeForce RTX 5090) |
| OpenCL | 1.2 | |

Benchmark performance
Synthetic benchmark performance of Radeon HD 6480G. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
Combined synthetic benchmark score
This is our combined benchmark score.
Passmark
This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of 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.
3DMark 11 Performance GPU
3DMark 11 is an obsolete DirectX 11 benchmark by Futuremark. It used four tests based on two scenes, one being few submarines exploring the submerged wreck of a sunken ship, the other is an abandoned temple deep in the jungle. All the tests are heavy with volumetric lighting and tessellation, and despite being done in 1280x720 resolution, are relatively taxing. Discontinued in January 2020, 3DMark 11 is now superseded by Time Spy.
3DMark Vantage Performance
3DMark Vantage is an outdated DirectX 10 benchmark using 1280x1024 screen resolution. It taxes the graphics card with two scenes, one depicting a girl escaping some militarized base located within a sea cave, the other displaying a space fleet attack on a defenseless planet. It was discontinued in April 2017, and Time Spy benchmark is now recommended to be used instead.
