About the AMD Radeon 540X GPU

The AMD Radeon 540X is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2018. It is built on the GCN 4.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Lexa) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The 540X has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 48 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 540X includes 512 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 980 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,046 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The 540X occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. 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 540X has the 273rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 3.92% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2020. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU117) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1650 Mobile has 4 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 192 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 1650 Mobile includes 1,024 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,380 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,515 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 64 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 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 GTX 1650 Mobile has the 155th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 12.55% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
