About the AMD Radeon R5 M255 GPU

The AMD Radeon R5 M255 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2014. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Topaz) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R5 M255 has 2 GB of DDR3 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 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 R5 M255 includes 384 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 940 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The R5 M255 has the 380th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.71% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA Quadro K2000M GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro K2000M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK107) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The K2000M has 2 GB 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 K2000M includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 745 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 745 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 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 55 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The K2000M has the 376th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.72% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
