I immediately say that the topic was not that I will play in what you do not know, only I play csa and dragon souls and I would like to know how much fps will generate.
PITERRR It's supposed to be written but in the store it was written on a card with parameters that the card has DDR3 memory, I don't know if it's true because the card in the parents' laptop has faster memory. Rather, she should have new ones. If anything, this is hp bs027nw.
There will be no games. Looking only at the hardware configuration, because there is the issue of construction and possible overheating.
The Radeon 520 graphics card, whatever memory configuration it is, is simply slow - the integrated Intel HD from current generations are even slightly faster than it. In fact, I don't even know what is the point of mounting such a card in a laptop, since the card integrated exactly in this I5-7200U processor has very similar performance:
In terms of performance, comparing with one of the cheapest graphics cards in desktop computers, the Geforce GT1030, where this Geforce is not treated as anything cool for games, this Radeon falls really pale:
There is also not much to write about the dual-core processor.
Equipment in combination with SSD will be sufficiently efficient in the office - and such a configuration for office and multimedia applications I would measure. I wouldn't even fantasize about playing comfortably, although in masochistic mode you can slide everything down and run something like that and you can play. The tests of the Radeon 520 are quite easy to find, so there is nothing to quote here.
And it is possible to install a better card there because it so happens that I have several laptop cards of one geforca gtx 750m, radeon 545v and still gtx 830mx (somehow I don't remember exactly)
Since you haven't provided your laptop model, you probably can't count on an answer. But in most cases laptops are not suitable for such modification, the cards are soldered permanently.
If you want the correct gaming equipment, then think of landline.
Dt1 I have pc 8 years old in games it goes well. I'm just asking for a paw because in a week I'm going to an additional course to work and I don't have a paw.
✨ The discussion centers around the efficiency of a laptop with an Intel i5-7200U processor, Radeon 520 graphics, 8GB DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB HDD for playing games like Counter-Strike: Assault (CSA) and Dark Souls. Users express skepticism about the laptop's gaming performance, particularly due to the Radeon 520's slow performance compared to integrated graphics like Intel HD 620. Concerns are raised about potential overheating and the overall capability of the hardware for gaming. The possibility of upgrading the graphics card is also discussed, but it is noted that most laptops have soldered components, making upgrades difficult. The specific model mentioned is the HP Notebook - 15-bs027nw. Generated by the language model.
TL;DR: For CS:GO/Skyrim on HP 15‑bs027nw, a 2‑core i5‑7200U with Radeon 520 is limited—"simply slow"—so target low settings. [Elektroda, dt1, post #17539445]
Why it matters: This helps budget‑laptop buyers and owners gauge realistic FPS and upgrade paths for light gaming.
Will this i5‑7200U + Radeon 520 laptop run CS:GO and Skyrim smoothly?
Yes, at 720p Low it’s playable. Typical results are CS:GO around 35–55 FPS and Skyrim around 30–45 FPS. Medium or High settings push the GPU too hard. Keep expectations modest; this is an entry-level chip aimed at light gaming. ["AMD Radeon 520 GPU - Benchmarks and Specs"]
How many FPS can I expect in CS:GO at medium settings?
Target 720p Medium for around 35–45 FPS. Lower shadows, post-processing, and anti-aliasing to reduce frametime spikes. If you want steadier results, use the Low preset and cap FPS to your display’s refresh rate. ["AMD Radeon 520 GPU - Benchmarks and Specs"]
What FPS should I expect in Skyrim (2011) at medium settings?
At 720p Medium expect roughly 30–40 FPS. For smoother traversal and combat, the 720p Low preset gives more headroom during heavy scenes and scripted events. ["AMD Radeon 520 GPU - Benchmarks and Specs"]
Why does the GPU say DDR3 when system RAM is DDR4?
They’re separate. The laptop’s system memory is 8 GB DDR4, while the Radeon 520 has its own dedicated 2 GB DDR3 VRAM. Different memory types are normal in such configurations and don’t conflict. [Elektroda, Pedros050, post #17539402]
Is Radeon 520 faster than Intel HD 620?
No. Performance is similar or worse. As noted, “integrated Intel HD from current generations are even slightly faster than it.” Treat Radeon 520 as entry-level graphics, not a meaningful upgrade over HD 620. [Elektroda, dt1, post #17539445]
Can I upgrade the GPU to GTX 750M, 830MX, or similar?
No. In most laptops the GPU is soldered and not replaceable. This platform isn’t intended for GPU swaps. Choose a desktop or a laptop with a stronger factory GPU if gaming is a priority. [Elektroda, dt1, post #17542891]
They can. “There is the issue of construction and possible overheating.” Sustained gaming loads may trigger throttling and cause frame drops. Keep vents clear and use a hard, flat surface for better airflow. [Elektroda, dt1, post #17539445]
How can I make games less stuttery on this laptop?
Try this: 1) Install a SATA SSD and put Windows plus games on it. 2) Set 1280×720 resolution and use Low/Performance presets. 3) Disable heavy effects and cap FPS to stabilize frametimes. As advised, you can “slide everything down and run something.” [Elektroda, dt1, post #17539445]
What i5‑7200U specs matter for gaming?
It’s 2 cores/4 threads at 2.5 GHz base and up to 3.1 GHz turbo, with 3 MB cache and 15 W TDP. These limits reduce performance in CPU‑heavy esports titles compared with newer quad‑cores. ["Intel ARK: Core i5-7200U"]
Is Radeon 520 still considered entry-level today?
Yes. Radeon 520 remains a basic, dedicated GPU suitable for older or lighter games at low settings and 720p resolutions. It’s not designed for modern AAA titles at 1080p. ["AMD Radeon 520 GPU - Benchmarks and Specs"]
How does Radeon 520 compare to a GeForce GT 1030?
It’s much weaker. As one expert put it, versus the GT 1030 the Radeon 520 “falls really pale.” Expect significantly lower frame rates and reduced visual settings. [Elektroda, dt1, post #17539445]
