About the AMD Radeon R7 M460 GPU
The AMD Radeon R7 M460 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2016. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Meso) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The R7 M460 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,125 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 36 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 M460 includes 384 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 730 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,024 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 M460 has the 353rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.04% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2016 with a MSRP of $109. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP107) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 1050 has 2 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 includes 640 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,354 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,455 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GTX 1050 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 has the 195th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 8.19% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 8,571 score and $109 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 78.63. This is the 37th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
