About the AMD Radeon RX 460 Mobile GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 460 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q3 2016. It is built on the GCN 4.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Baffin) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The RX 460 Mobile has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,250 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 80 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 460 Mobile 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 1,180 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 55 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RX 460 Mobile has the 209th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 7.45% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2020. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU106) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 2060 Max-Q has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,375 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 264 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 2060 Max-Q includes 1,920 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 975 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,185 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 120 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 240 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 30 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 65 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX 2060 Max-Q has the 115th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 18.91% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
