About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2011. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF119) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The GT 520M has 1,024 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 12.8 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 520M includes 48 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 740 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 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 12 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The GT 520M has the 517th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.48% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA GeForce 710M GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 710M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2013. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF117) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The 710M has 1,024 MB 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 710M includes 96 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 775 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 800 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 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The 710M has the 446th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.06% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
