About the AMD Radeon HD 7550M GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 7550M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2012. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Thames) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The HD 7550M has 1,024 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 14.4 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 7550M includes 480 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 450 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 550 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 14 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 7550M has the 483rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.72% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 GPU

The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2017 with a MSRP of $499. It is built on the GCN 5.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Vega 10) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The RX Vega 64 has 8 GB of HBM2 memory, with a 945 MHz memory clock and a 2,048 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 483.8 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 RX Vega 64 includes 4,096 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,247 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,546 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 256 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX Vega 64 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 295 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX Vega 64 has the 72nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 29.47% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 30,823.5 score and $499 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 61.77. This is the 52nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
