Watch out if you're buying a new laptop because ATI has followed in the footsteps of NVIDIA by rebranding some low-end notebook GPUs.

You may mistake cards like the Mobility Radeon HD 545v for the Mobility Radeon HD 5450, but this is not the case as these new GPUs with a "v" suffix are rebrands of the Mobility Radeon HD 4000 series, they are made on a 55nm process and lack DirectX 11 support.

Rebrands:

Mobility Radeon HD 560v series = Mobility Radeon HD 4600 series

Mobility Radeon HD 540v series = Mobility Radeon HD 4500 series

Mobility Radeon HD 530v series = Mobility Radeon HD 4300 series
