Gaming on AMD Radeon 890M! Testing in 6 Games + Comparisons with Radeon 780M and GeForce GTX 2050

A new generation of AMD CPUs brings forward not only improvements to CPU performance but brand-new graphics too. The new Radeon 890M uses an RDNA 3.5 architecture that’s specifically made for mobile gaming (laptops and handhelds).

This means that the new GPUs will yield positives not just in laptops, but maybe an improved version of the Steam Deck, a new ROG Ally, or an MSI Claw powered by AMD hardware.

Today we’re comparing the Radeon 890M to the previous best iGPU from AMD, the Radeon 780M, as well as a 30W RTX 2050.

GPU benchmarks

The Radeon 890M is 6% more powerful in the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark than the RTX 2050 and the Radeon 780M. In Wild Life Extreme, the 890M is 18% stronger than the 780M.

The results are from 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited. Higher is better.
