About the AMD Radeon R9 M385X GPU

The AMD Radeon R9 M385X is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2015. It is built on the GCN 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Strato) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R9 M385X has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,200 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 76.8 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 R9 M385X includes 896 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,000 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,100 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 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 R9 M385X has the 234th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.27% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon RX 6700S GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 6700S is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2022. It is built on the RDNA 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 23) and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.

Memory

The RX 6700S has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 224 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 RX 6700S includes 1,792 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,700 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,000 MHz. It usually operates at 1,890 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 112 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 28 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 80 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RX 6700S has the 66th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 31.23% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
