About the AMD Radeon Pro 450 GPU
The AMD Radeon Pro 450 is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q4 2016. It is built on the GCN 4.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Baffin) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.
Memory
The Pro 450 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,270 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 81.28 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 Pro 450 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 35 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The Pro 450 has the 261st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.30% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2015. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM107) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 960M has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,253 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 80.19 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 960M includes 640 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,097 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,176 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 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 960M has the 243rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.05% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
