:shrug:   no idea, I've not had an AMD card since the late nineties. Although it doesn't sound awe inspiring tbh.

I've found a page where they benchmark it with the fps you can expectnin several games, compared to their reqs. That might give you a clue https://technical.city/en/video/Radeon-530

At the bottom they offer a benchmark comparison with other cards, and they conclude

We believe that the nearest equivalent to Radeon 530 from NVIDIA is GeForce GT 650M, which is nearly equal in speed and lower by 1 position in our rating

So it's kinda barely above the minimum sysreqs. That doesn't mean it will *actually* work, or be playable.


Honestly, like I said before, you have to be realistic. You're not going overboard on hardware, for certain. I think a GT650M is what my 2012 PC has, back home, and if the AMD 530 is equivalent to that, well.... it will run things. But bear in mind that it used to be a high standard... 7 years ago (and I think even then it was upper quartile, not quite "top of the market")

 If you'll allow me to be brutally honest:  Be prepared to cough up far more money for an actual gaming rig, or else temper your expectations, I'd say. :/

sigh Well, it's not like I haven't thought about getting a second computer as a proper back up machine (as opposed to my older ones I have in storage)...

But the graphics card is still better than the one on the laptop I'm using now, right?

Yes but it seems to me that you're burning money on second rate computers that don't quite do what you want them to do. Wouldn't it be better to save it for one with better features that would do what you want it to do for longer? That graphics card IS better than an integrated graphics card, but still...


BTW: I was thinking that maybe you should troubleshoot those two games in their respective forums, because I *have* run Hand of Fate 1 without too much issue, at low res, in integrated graphics. Maybe there is an easily fixable way to make them playable on your PC
