About the Intel HD Graphics 610 GPU

The Intel HD Graphics 610 is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q3 2016. It is built on the Generation 9.5 GPU microarchitecture (codename Kaby Lake GT1) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The HD Graphics 610 has System Shared of memory. This gives it a memory bandwidth of System Dependent, 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 HD Graphics 610 includes 96 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 350 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,050 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 12 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 2 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 5 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD Graphics 610 has the 472nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.84% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA Quadro M520 GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro M520 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2017. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM108) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The M520 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,253 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 40.1 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 M520 includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 965 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,176 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 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 25 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The M520 has the 320th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.54% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
