MATLAB: Can MATLAB work well with amd radeon 530 as graghic card

amd radeonspeed

Hi, I want to buy a new laptop, but I'm a bit confused. My question is, can MATLAB work well with amd radeon 530 DDR3 with 2 GB dedicated as graghic card? Is there a way that GPU functions work on another card other than NVIDIA and if I really need them (I need Matlab for aerospace engineering-university)? Will NVIDEA increase somehow the speed of execution of my MATLAB code?
I was thinking to buy HP 15-bs042nl Intel® Core™ i7-7500U (2,7 GHz, fino a 3,5 GHz con tecnologia Intel® Turbo Boost, 4 MB di cache, 2 core),12 GB di SDRAM DDR4-2133 (1 x 4 GB, 1 x 8 GB), 1 TB (5400 rpm),Windows 10 Home 64. Is it good?
Thanks in advance.

There are no specific graphics card recommendations in System Requirements for MATLAB R2017b (link).
As much as I like AMD CPUs and GPUs, the only problem with AMD GPUs is that they are not compatible with CUDA, that are only supported by Nvidia. If you are not doing parallel computing with a GPU, any card will apparently work.
