About the AMD Radeon HD 8690M GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 8690M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2013. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Sun) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The HD 8690M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 32 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 8690M includes 320 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 925 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 975 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 20 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 8690M has the 401st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.53% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA Quadro K4000M GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro K4000M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK104) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The K4000M has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 700 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 89.6 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 K4000M includes 960 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 601 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 601 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 K4000M has the 283rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 3.31% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
