About the AMD Radeon HD 7970M GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 7970M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Wimbledon) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The HD 7970M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,200 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 153.6 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 7970M includes 1,280 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 850 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 100 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The HD 7970M has the 232nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.40% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA T600 Mobile GPU
The NVIDIA T600 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2021. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU117) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.
Memory
The T600 Mobile has 4 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 192 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 T600 Mobile includes 896 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 780 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,410 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 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 40 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The T600 Mobile has the 175th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 10.04% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
