About the AMD Radeon HD 6490M GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 6490M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2011. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Seymour) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The HD 6490M has 512 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 25.6 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 6490M includes 160 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 800 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Benchmark Performance
The HD 6490M has the 504th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.57% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA Quadro K610M GPU
The NVIDIA Quadro K610M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2013. It is built on the Kepler 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GK208) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The K610M has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 650 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 20.8 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 K610M includes 192 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 954 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 954 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 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 30 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The K610M has the 441st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.09% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
