About the AMD Radeon R7 M260X GPU

The AMD Radeon R7 M260X is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2015. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Opal) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R7 M260X has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 64 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 R7 M260X includes 384 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 620 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 715 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 R7 M260X has the 367th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.82% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2016 with a MSRP of $139. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP107) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1050 Ti has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,752 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 112.1 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 1050 Ti includes 768 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,291 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,392 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 1050 Ti occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 1050 Ti has the 186th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 9.03% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 9,453 score and $139 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 68.01. This is the 47th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
