About the AMD Radeon 530 GPU

The AMD Radeon 530 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2017. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Weston) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The 530 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 28.8 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The 530 includes 384 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 730 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 891 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 50 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The 530 has the 341st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.22% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2011. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF116) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 560M has 1,536 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 625 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 60 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GTX 560M includes 192 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 775 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 24 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GTX 560M has the 375th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.74% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
