About the AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 GPU

The Radeon RX Vega 7 is an graphics card by AMD. It is built on the Vega GPU microarchitecture and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX Vega 7 includes 448 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RX Vega 7 has the 244th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.01% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2015. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM107) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 960M has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,253 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 80.19 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.
