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 Quadro P5200 GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro P5200 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2018. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP104) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.

Memory

The P5200 has 16 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,804 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 230.9 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 P5200 includes 2,560 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,582 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,759 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 160 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 100 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The P5200 has the 94th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 24.00% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
