About the AMD Radeon HD 6970M X2 GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 6970M X2 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2011. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Blackcomb) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The HD 6970M X2 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 115.2 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 6970M X2 includes 960 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 680 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 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 150 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The HD 6970M X2 has the 233rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.30% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL GPU
The AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q1 2018. It is built on the GCN 4.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Polaris 22) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.
Memory
The RX Vega M GL has 4 GB of HBM2 memory, with a 700 MHz memory clock and a 1,024 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 179.2 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 RX Vega M GL includes 1,280 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 931 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,011 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 80 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 65 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The RX Vega M GL has the 182nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 9.43% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
