About the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2019 with a MSRP of $399. It is built on the RDNA 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 10) and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.

Memory

The RX 5700 XT 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 RX 5700 XT includes 2,560 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,605 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,905 MHz. It usually operates at 1,755 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 160 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX 5700 XT occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 550 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 225 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX 5700 XT has the 56th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 34.25% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 35,822.5 score and $399 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 89.78. This is the 26th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce MX450 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce MX450 is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q3 2020. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU117S) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The MX450 has 2 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,250 MHz memory clock and a 64 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 MX450 includes 896 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,395 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,575 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 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 31 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The MX450 has the 202nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 7.89% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
