About the Intel HD Graphics (Ivy Bridge) GPU

The HD Graphics (Ivy Bridge) is an graphics card by Intel. It is built on the Generation 7.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Ivy Bridge GT1) and is manufactured on a 22 nm process.

Memory

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD Graphics includes 48 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 1,100 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 6 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 1 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The HD Graphics has the 536th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.30% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2010. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF108) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GT 425M has 1,024 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 25.6 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 GT 425M includes 96 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 560 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 23 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GT 425M has the 484th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.72% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
