About the AMD Radeon 680M GPU

The AMD Radeon 680M is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2022. It is built on the RDNA 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Rembrandt) and is manufactured on a 6 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The 680M includes 768 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,000 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,200 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 12 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

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 680M has the 176th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 9.92% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD FirePro W4170M GPU

The AMD FirePro W4170M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2014. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Mars) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro W4170M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 64 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 FirePro W4170M includes 384 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 825 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 900 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The FirePro W4170M has the 342nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.21% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
