About the AMD Radeon R9 M390X GPU
The AMD Radeon R9 M390X is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2015. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Amethyst) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The R9 M390X has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,250 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 160 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 M390X includes 2,048 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 723 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 723 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 128 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 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 M390X has the 187th 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.
About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2019. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU104) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.
Memory
The RTX 2080 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 448 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 2080 Mobile includes 2,944 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,380 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,590 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 184 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 368 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 46 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 150 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The RTX 2080 Mobile has the 60th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 33.36% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
