About AMD Radeon R5 435 OEM
The AMD Radeon R5 435 OEM is a 28 nm entry-level graphics card from the Arctic Islands (R5 400) generation, built on the GCN 1.0 architecture with the Banks chip. It contains 690 million transistors on a 56 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 12.3M per mm². Released on 2016-06-29, it holds the 50th percentile position among all GPUs in the database, though its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, indicating no direct performance submissions. The card is end-of-life, succeeding the Pirate Islands generation and preceding Polaris.
Benchmark Performance
The R5 435 OEM delivers 659.2 GFLOPS of FP32 compute, 20.60 GTexel/s of texture fill, and 8.240 GPixel/s of pixel throughput. These derive from 320 shading units, 20 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. The 50th percentile placement suggests a mid-pack standing in the database's overall distribution, but the average benchmark score of 0 means this percentile is based on specification ranking rather than measured workloads.
The pixel rate of 8.240 GPixel/s is the most constrained metric; with only 8 ROPs, fill-rate-bound scenes will be the card's weakness. Texture rate is comparatively healthier at 20.60 GTexel/s from the 20 TMUs. FP32 throughput of 659.2 GFLOPS is modest, placing the card below contemporary entry-level parts in raw compute. The memory clock of 1125 MHz (2.2 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 18.00 GB/s will throttle compute in memory-heavy workloads.
Since the nearestRivals array in the FACT PACK is empty, no percentage deltas against competing products can be computed. The absence of benchmark scores leaves the compute, texture, and pixel rates as the only quantitative performance descriptors. The 50th percentile rank provides a rough positional anchor: the card sits exactly at the median of all GPUs in the database, though the reliability of that rank is questionable given the zero average score.
Who Should Consider It
The R5 435 OEM suits systems where 2 GB of DDR3 memory and 18.00 GB/s of bandwidth are sufficient — namely low-detail gaming in older titles or basic desktop acceleration. The 64-bit memory bus limits data throughput, so games with large texture sets will experience stuttering. The 8 ROPs cap pixel fill, making the card a poor fit for ultra-high resolutions; the 2 GB capacity and 18.00 GB/s bandwidth rule out demanding modern titles.
The single-slot design and lack of power connectors make it an easy drop-in for OEM desktops with a 250 W suggested PSU. Users running legacy software that relies on OpenGL 4.6 or Vulkan 1.2.170 will find API support, but DirectX 12 is limited to feature level 11_1, so modern DX12 titles may not run optimally. The display outputs — 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 1.4a, 1x VGA — cover older monitors but lack DisplayPort, restricting high-refresh or multi-monitor setups.
Power and Cooling
The card carries a TDP of 50 W, which is modest. The suggested PSU is 250 W, and the card requires no external power connectors, drawing all power from the PCIe slot. The single-slot cooler is adequate for the 50 W envelope; the 28 nm process node and 690 million transistors on a 56 mm² die generate limited heat. The 12.3M / mm² transistor density is low by modern standards, which helps keep thermal output manageable.
Given the 250 W PSU recommendation, the R5 435 OEM is compatible with a wide range of pre-built systems. The absence of power connectors simplifies installation, and the single-slot footprint fits compact chassis. The 50 W TDP implies low fan noise, though the FACT PACK does not specify acoustic data.
How It Compares
The FACT PACK lists no nearest rivals, so direct percentage deltas cannot be presented. The card's generational context is clearer: it belongs to the Arctic Islands (R5 400) generation, succeeding the Pirate Islands family and preceding Polaris. Within the AMD lineup, the R5 435 OEM sits at the bottom of the R5 tier, with the Banks chip being a small 56 mm² die. The 50th percentile placement suggests a middle position in the entire GPU distribution, but without rival scores, this is a positional statement rather than a comparative one.
The lack of benchmark data (average score of 0) further limits comparison. The card's 320 shading units and 8 ROPs are the architectural descriptors that would position it against similarly sized parts, but the FACT PACK provides no such counterparts.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The R5 435 OEM has no ray tracing cores (rtCores is null) and no tensor cores (tensorCores is null). Ray tracing is therefore not supported in hardware. The feature set is defined by the GCN 1.0 architecture's API support: DirectX 12 at feature level 11_1, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.170. The DirectX 12 (11_1) designation means the card supports the DX12 API but only up to the 11_1 feature level, excluding some modern rendering features.
Vulkan 1.2.170 support is relatively recent for a card released on 2016-06-29, suggesting driver-level compatibility with modern Vulkan titles, though the 2 GB DDR3 memory and 18.00 GB/s bandwidth will limit real-world performance. The display outputs include HDMI 1.4a and VGA, both legacy-oriented. No tensor cores means no AI-accelerated features; no RT cores means no hardware ray tracing.

Memory Subsystem
The memory subsystem consists of 2 GB of DDR3 on a 64-bit bus, yielding 18.00 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock is 1125 MHz, with an effective data rate of 2.2 Gbps. This bandwidth is the card's most significant bottleneck — 18.00 GB/s is low, and it will limit performance in any workload that streams large textures or geometry. The 64-bit bus width is narrow, restricting throughput.
For high resolutions, the 2 GB capacity is also restrictive. At common high-definition resolutions, modern games often exceed 2 GB of VRAM usage, causing the card to spill into system memory via the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface. The 18.00 GB/s bandwidth means that even when the frame buffer fits, texture streaming can cause hitches. The pixel rate of 8.240 GPixel/s and texture rate of 20.60 GTexel/s are consistent with a card that is memory-limited in most scenarios.
The 2.2 Gbps effective memory clock is modest, and DDR3 rather than GDDR5 further reduces efficiency. The 8 ROPs mean that fill-rate-bound scenes will struggle, particularly at higher resolutions. In summary, the memory subsystem is the defining constraint of the R5 435 OEM; compute resources (659.2 GFLOPS) are comparatively less limiting than the 18.00 GB/s of bandwidth.
