Summary
The AMD Radeon Vega 3 (APU) (2018) is very basic graphics, best for esports and older games on Low. It is integrated graphics, so it shares system memory and power with the processor.
With a fast processor it reaches 60 FPS at 1080p High in about 0 of the 102 games we track and 0 at 1440p; 4K is not recommended on it (estimates). Cards in the same class: HD Graphics 4600 and HD 520. The next step up is the HD Graphics 4600, about 8% faster.
