About the AMD Radeon HD 6730M GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 6730M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2011. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Whistler) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The HD 6730M has 1,024 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 128 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 6730M includes 480 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 725 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 35 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 6730M has the 442nd 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.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2012. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF114) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 670M has 1,536 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 750 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 72 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 670M includes 336 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 598 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 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 670M has the 317th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.58% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
