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 NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2023. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD107) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 256 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 RTX 2000 Ada Generation Mobile includes 3,072 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,635 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,115 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 96 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 96 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 24 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 50 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Mobile has the 74th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 28.93% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
