About the AMD Radeon HD 7970M X2 GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 7970M X2 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 X2 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 X2 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 200 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 X2 has the 168th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 10.63% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the AMD Radeon HD 7570M GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 7570M 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 7570M has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 64 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 7570M 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 650 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 13 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The HD 7570M has the 479th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.79% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
