About the AMD Radeon HD 6450 GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 6450 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2011 with a MSRP of $55. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Caicos) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The HD 6450 has 512 MB of DDR3, GDDR5 memory, with a 500 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 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 HD 6450 includes 160 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 625 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The HD 6450 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, HDMI 1.3a, VGA display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 18 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The HD 6450 has the 500th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.60% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 623 score and $55 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 11.33. This is the 96th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA Quadro P4000 GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro P4000 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q1 2017 with a MSRP of $815. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP104) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.

Memory

The P4000 has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,901 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 243.3 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 P4000 includes 1,792 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,202 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,480 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 112 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The P4000 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 105 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The P4000 has the 142nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 14.75% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 15,433 score and $815 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 18.94. This is the 88th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
