In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD FireGL V8600 are marginally better than the Intel HD Graphics 510 Desktop.

The Graphics 510 was released over three years more recently than the FireGL V8600, and so the Graphics 510 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the FireGL V8600 when running the latest games.

The FireGL V8600 has 1024 MB video memory, but the Graphics 510 does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.

The HD Graphics 510 Desktop has 12 Shader Processing Units and the FireGL V8600 has 320. However, the actual shader performance of the Graphics 510 is 101 and the actual shader performance of the FireGL V8600 is 143. The FireGL V8600 having 42 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the FireGL V8600 delivers a significantly smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Graphics 510.

The HD Graphics 510 Desktop requires 47 Watts to run but there is no entry for the FireGL V8600. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Graphics 510 and a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the FireGL V8600. The FireGL V8600 has been recommended a PSU with 350 Watts more than the Graphics 510. The difference is significant enough that the FireGL V8600 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the Graphics 510.
