About the AMD Radeon RX 8050S GPU

The Radeon RX 8050S is a graphics card by AMD.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX 8050S includes 32 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. Additionally, the GPU features 32 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Benchmark Performance

The RX 8050S has the 67th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 27.99% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce 940M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce 940M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2015. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM108S) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The 940M has 2 GB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 14.4 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 940M includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,072 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,176 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 33 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The 940M has the 356th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.85% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.
