About the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2023 with a MSRP of $549. It is built on the RDNA 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 31) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RX 7900 GRE has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,250 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 576 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 7900 GRE includes 5,120 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,287 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,245 MHz. It usually operates at 1,880 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 320 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 160 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 160 AI accelerators optimized for AI workloads and 80 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX 7900 GRE occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 2.1, USB Type-C display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 260 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX 7900 GRE has the 19th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 51.73% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 67,134 score and $549 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 122.28. This is the 11th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce MX250 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce MX250 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2019. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP108B) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The MX250 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,502 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 48.06 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 MX250 includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 937 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,038 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 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 10 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The MX250 has the 283rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 3.57% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.
