About the AMD Radeon Pro 555 GPU

The AMD Radeon Pro 555 is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2017. It is built on the GCN 4.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Polaris 21) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The Pro 555 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,275 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 81.6 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 Pro 555 includes 768 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 48 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 Pro 555 has the 246th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.96% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2011. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF108) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GT 540M has 1,024 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 28.8 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 GT 540M includes 96 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 672 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 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 GT 540M has the 471st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.85% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
