About Hardware AMD Radeon HD 7310 IGPU VRAM Disk

The AMD Radeon HD 7310 is an integrated GPU (iGPU) based on the Terascale 2 architecture embedded in some early generation E1 series APUs, such as the AMD E1-1200. With 80 Stream Processors, this GPU is designed for light tasks such as video playback, basic computing, and casual gaming with low graphics settings. Despite being an entry-level GPU and being quite old, the Radeon HD 7310 is still able to operate well for basic needs and certain technical experiments.

In this test using an HP 1000 1b05au device paired with an AMD E1-1200 processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM, and Windows 7 operating system, an interesting experiment was conducted by converting part of the VRAM allocation into a VRAMDisk using specialized GPU RAM Drive software.

VRAMDisk is a method that utilizes VRAM capacity as high-speed temporary storage, just like RAMDisk but with graphics memory. In this configuration, of the total VRAM of 384MB (plus shared memory), about 128MB was set aside to be used as a VRAMDisk. Despite the small capacity, the read and write speeds were quite surprising:

• CrystalDiskMark:
  • Read: 393.23 MB/s
  • Write: 393.66 MB/s

This figure shows that even using an older generation GPU with DDR3 memory and a 128-bit interface, the VRAM still has enough bandwidth for light cache tasks or fast storage experiments. This technology is not intended for daily use, but it can be an interesting alternative for technical purposes, testing, or short-term local access speeds of small files.

Given its limitations-both in terms of VRAM capacity, iGPU performance, and modern driver support-the AMD Radeon HD 7310 is definitely not an option for gaming or heavy workloads right now. However, experiments like this VRAMDisk show that legacy devices can still be creatively utilized in certain contexts, especially in resource-constrained environments.

About Hardware Lexar High Performance 633X 64GB

The Lexar High-Performance 633x 64GB microSDXC is a high-grade memory card designed to provide fast data transfer speeds and reliable performance, especially for users who frequently handle large multimedia files. With UHS-I U1/U3 and V30 class speeds, as well as a 633x rating, the card offers read speeds of up to 100MB/s which is ideal for Full HD to 4K UHD video recording, high-resolution photography, and heavy application usage on Android devices.

The microSD card also has an A1 rating for app performance, which enables faster app loading times and more responsive multitasking on mobile devices. Compatibility is broad, supporting various types of devices such as smartphones, action cams, drones, tablets, and other recording devices. For more flexible use, Lexar also includes an SD adapter in the sales package so that the card can be used easily with DSLR cameras or laptops that have full SD slots.

Another advantage lies in physical durability. The Lexar 633x is designed to waterproof, extreme temperature resistant, shockproof, and X-ray resistant standards, making it a great choice for outdoor use or rugged field conditions. This card is perfect for content creators, travelers, and gamers who need large-capacity yet reliable storage.

Testing was conducted using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 device with Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, NVIDIA MX350, 12GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM, and Windows 11 Home 23H2 operating system. Testing also utilized a Lexar RW450 (rev B) card reader with GL3231S controller, using factory default conditions (exFAT file system, Quick Removal). In the CrystalDiskMark benchmark, the card recorded a read speed of 87.70 MB/s and write speed of 58.83 MB/s, confirming its performance claim as one of the fastest microSDs in its class.

Overall, the Lexar High-Performance 633x 64GB offers a combination of high speed, physical durability, and sufficient capacity to meet the storage needs of multimedia, gaming, and heavy applications on modern mobile devices. If you are looking for a microSDXC card with stable performance and ready to be used in various conditions, the Lexar 633x 64GB is a highly recommended choice.
