The AMD Radeon 780M is the most powerful Team Red iGPU at the moment. Due to the weak cooling solution of this machine combined with the lower CPU clocks and power limits, the performance of this integrated graphics card is lower than the previous-gen Radeon 680M. The MSAA option in CS:GO is missing (probably a bug) and that’s why we tested this title only on Low settings.
