Radeon 8040S: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide
Radeon 8040S — 15 games benchmarked at 1080p, 1 model in the catalog.
Radeon 8040S — 15 games benchmarked at 1080p , 1 laptop models in the used-laptop catalog . This guide covers what the chip delivers in games, where it sits among mobile GPUs in 2026, and which laptops carry it.
The Radeon 8040S is AMD's 2025 integrated-class graphics record for premium thin machines — a single catalog host carries it. This guide covers its 15 recorded game benchmarks at 1080p and that one machine.
Where the Radeon 8040S sits in 2026
The composite ranks it #183 of 341 (score 25.5). The neighbors: Radeon RX 540 (#180, 27), UHD Graphics 770 (#181, 26.8) and Quadro P600 (#182, 25.6) above; the Radeon Pro WX 3200 (#184, 25.2), Iris Xe (#185, 25) and Apple M3 Pro (#186, 24.7) below. In ranking terms it is a mid-tier part — the interesting question is how its table compares to that placement.
What the chip brings
The record lists 1024 shader cores on a 4nm process, 5.73 TFLOPS and a 55W envelope entry. Public benchmark data is thin: PassMark 10578, with no Fire Strike or Vulkan/OpenCL figures stored. The catalog also holds a sibling record, the Radeon 8050S, whose story runs the opposite way — a stronger recorded table with a much weaker composite — so treat this family's numbers as recorded readings rather than settled rankings.
FPS in games at 1080p
At the high preset the table outperforms its #183 rank: Valorant 170, Counter-Strike 2 140, GTA V and PUBG at their 140 ceilings, Fortnite 120, Battlefield 5 and Forza Horizon 4 at 100, Far Cry 5 and Forza Horizon 5 at 80, The Witcher 3 75, Resident Evil 4 Remake 60, Cyberpunk 2077 55, Metro Exodus 55. That is a clean 60-plus sheet at 1080p high — the trust-the-table pattern, in the buyer's favor this time.
Laptops that carry it
One catalog listing: the HP ZBook Ultra 14 G1a (2025, $1760) — a premium 14-inch workstation. There is no fleet to comparison-shop; this record is effectively the graphics story of that one machine, with roster medians showing gaming index 48 and portability 68.3.
Bottom line
If the 8040S appears on your shortlist, it comes attached to one premium chassis and a game table that outruns its composite rank. Judge it by the table: modern titles at 1080p high in the 55-120 range, e-sports well beyond that — genuine gaming capability inside a thin 14-inch workstation.
