About the AMD Radeon HD 7870M GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 7870M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Heathrow) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The HD 7870M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 64 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 7870M includes 640 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 40 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 45 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 7870M has the 316th 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.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2017. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP106) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1050 Ti Mobile has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,752 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 112.1 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 1050 Ti Mobile includes 768 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,493 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,620 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 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 1050 Ti Mobile has the 184th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 9.19% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
