Helldivers 2 Achieves Competitive Frame Rate Using Ryzen 7 8840U With Radeon 780M iGPU

One of the best released third person shooter Helldivers 2 could be played with tiny but powerful Radeon 780M integrated graphics chip. Sturdy gameplay and immersive visuals from Helldivers 2 wouldn’t slow down AMD’s powerful Ryzen 7 8840U APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) with dedicated AI accelerated engine called NPU (Neural Processing Unit).

This time around, YouTube tech influencer ETA Prime has demonstrated how small mobile APU such as Ryzen 7 8840U might be running Helldivers 2 at 90 fps using 900p resolution with medium to low settings. DDR5 5600mhz boosts gaming performance for any integrated graphics. Efficiency boost comes from 4nm Zen4 microarchitecture enhanced by AMD FSR upscale mod.

Amazingly, this benchmark was conducted at Performance Mode using ASRock Mini PCs BIOS settings to achieve high frame rate and stability. TDP enabled at 45W from motherboard. Little tiny Ryzen 7 8840U still packs 8 cores and 16 threads for multitasking ability thus you may stream it on popular platforms without performance hiccups. High speed laptop RAM with 5600mhz dual-channel mode may elevate frame rate by 20% in some cases. For soft reminder, AMD chips runs better with Samsung made memory kits sporting with dual-rank configuration.
