The AMD Radeon HD 6750M is a mobile graphics processor from the Vancouver generation, built on the TeraScale 2 architecture using TSMC’s 40 nm process. It integrates 716 million transistors on a 118 mm² die, with 480 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 raster output units. The GPU is paired with 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 25.60 GB/s of bandwidth, while its compute capabilities reach 576.0 GFLOPS of FP32 throughput. The card is an end-of-life product, released in early January 2011, and its single OpenCL benchmark score of 484 places it in the 1st percentile of all GPUs, indicating it sits near the bottom of the performance hierarchy.
How It Compares
The AMD Radeon HD 6750M sits 5.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon HD 6850 in average benchmark scores, with the mobile part scoring 484 against the desktop card’s 459. This is a narrow margin, suggesting that despite the HD 6850 being a desktop part, the HD 6750M’s architectural efficiency or driver maturity allows it to edge out that particular rival in OpenCL workloads. The delta is small enough that real-world differences would be within run-to-run variance, but the data consistently favors the mobile GPU by a slight margin.
Against the AMD Radeon HD 6870, the HD 6750M falls behind by 9.6%, with the rival scoring 536. This is a more substantial gap, representing a roughly one-tenth deficit in raw compute throughput. The HD 6870’s higher score aligns with its position in the product stack, and the HD 6750M’s lower result is expected given the mobile form factor’s power and thermal constraints. The data shows that while the HD 6750M can compete with lower-tier desktop parts, it cannot match the performance of a higher-end desktop GPU from the same generation.
When compared to the AMD Radeon HD 7750, the HD 6750M shows a 12.5% advantage, scoring 484 versus 430. This is the largest positive delta among its nearest rivals, indicating that the HD 6750M outperforms this newer, lower-power desktop card by a meaningful margin in OpenCL tests. The HD 7750’s lower score may reflect its reduced shader count or lower clock speeds, but the HD 6750M’s 480 shading units and 576.0 GFLOPS provide enough compute headroom to secure a comfortable lead.
The Intel HD Graphics 4000 is the weakest competitor in this group, with a score of 414, which the HD 6750M beats by 17%. This integrated graphics solution, typically found in laptops and ultrabooks, cannot match the discrete HD 6750M’s dedicated memory bandwidth or shading resources. The data indicates that the HD 6750M offers a clear performance tier above common integrated graphics of its era, making it a viable option for users needing more than basic display output.
Who Should Consider It
The HD 6750M’s 1st percentile ranking means it is suited for legacy gaming or light productivity tasks rather than modern high-end workloads. With a pixel rate of 4.800 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 14.40 GTexel/s, the GPU can handle older titles at lower resolutions and settings, but it will struggle with contemporary games that demand higher fill rates or larger texture loads. Users running applications that rely on OpenCL acceleration—such as early GPU-accelerated video encoding or physics simulations—will find the 484 score adequate for basic tasks, but not for intensive compute workloads.
Given the 1024 MB memory capacity and 25.60 GB/s bandwidth, the HD 6750M is best paired with 720p or 1366x768 displays, where its memory footprint and bandwidth are sufficient for moderate texture detail. At 1080p, the card may exceed its memory limits in texture-heavy scenes, causing stuttering or reduced frame rates. For users with older libraries of games from the late 2000s or early 2010s, the HD 6750M can deliver playable frame rates at medium settings, but it is not recommended for high-refresh-rate or high-detail gaming.
The 35 W TDP makes the HD 6750M a low-power option for thin-and-light laptops, where thermal headroom is limited. Its MXM-A (3.0) bus interface and MXM Module slot width indicate it was designed for modular laptop upgrades, though its end-of-life status means new replacements are scarce. Users with a compatible MXM-A chassis who need a modest improvement over integrated graphics will find the HD 6750M’s 17% lead over Intel HD Graphics 4000 compelling, but they should temper expectations for modern software.
Benchmark Performance
The Geekbench OpenCL score of 484 serves as the primary metric for this analysis, and it places the HD 6750M in the 1st percentile of all GPUs, meaning 99% of tested graphics cards outperform it. This low percentile is consistent with a mobile GPU from 2011, which was designed for power efficiency rather than raw compute. The average benchmark score across all tests is also 484, indicating that the single OpenCL result is representative of the card’s overall performance profile.
In direct comparisons, the HD 6750M’s 5.5% lead over the HD 6850 (459) is the tightest margin, suggesting the two GPUs are nearly equivalent in OpenCL throughput despite the HD 6850 being a desktop part with presumably higher power limits. The 9.6% deficit to the HD 6870 (536) is more pronounced, and this gap likely stems from the HD 6870’s additional shading units or higher clock frequencies, which are not detailed in the data but are implied by its higher score. The HD 6750M’s 576.0 GFLOPS of FP32 performance provides a theoretical ceiling, and the benchmark results show that the card achieves a reasonable fraction of that peak in real-world OpenCL tests.
The 12.5% advantage over the HD 7750 (430) is notable because the HD 7750 is a newer architecture (likely GCN-based), yet the HD 6750M’s older TeraScale 2 design still wins. This could be due to driver optimizations for OpenCL on TeraScale 2, or the HD 7750’s lower core count (its specs are not in the pack, but the score implies less compute). The 17% lead over Intel HD Graphics 4000 (414) is the largest delta, and it underscores the benefit of a discrete GPU with dedicated memory and 480 shading units versus an integrated solution that shares system memory. Overall, the HD 6750M occupies a narrow performance band between the HD 6850 and HD 6870, with its closest rival being the HD 6850 at a 5.5% delta.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The HD 6750M does not include any dedicated ray tracing or tensor cores, as indicated by the null values in the fact pack. This is expected for a GPU from the TeraScale 2 generation, which predates the introduction of hardware-accelerated ray tracing by nearly a decade. The card’s feature set is therefore limited to traditional rasterization and compute tasks. Its FP32 throughput of 576.0 GFLOPS is the primary compute resource, and while this can handle some OpenCL workloads, it is insufficient for modern ray-traced rendering, which would rely on software fallbacks and produce very low performance.
The API support includes DirectX 11.2 (11_0) and OpenGL 4.4, with no Vulkan support listed. This means the HD 6750M can run DirectX 11 titles and OpenGL 4.4 applications, but it cannot take advantage of Vulkan’s lower overhead or modern cross-platform features. The absence of Vulkan also limits compatibility with some newer games that require it, though many titles still offer DirectX 11 paths. The display outputs are marked as portable device dependent, reflecting the MXM module form factor, which relies on the host laptop’s display panel and connections.
The card’s texture rate of 14.40 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 4.800 GPixel/s define its fill-rate capabilities, which are modest by modern standards but were adequate for its time. The 24 TMUs and 8 ROPs align with these rates, and the 480 shading units provide the compute density for the 576.0 GFLOPS figure. Ray tracing, if attempted, would run on these generic shaders with no acceleration, resulting in performance that is likely impractical for real-time use. For users of this GPU, the feature set is best understood as a legacy DirectX 11 implementation with no forward-looking ray tracing or tensor capabilities.
