About the NVIDIA GeForce 940MX GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 940MX is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in 2016. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM108) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The 940MX has 1,024 MB 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 940MX includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 954 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 993 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 23 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The 940MX has the 322nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.44% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q GPU
The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2019. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU106) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.
Memory
The RTX 3000 Max-Q has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 288 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 RTX 3000 Max-Q includes 1,920 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 600 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,215 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 120 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 240 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 30 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 60 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The RTX 3000 Max-Q has the 129th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 16.75% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
