About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2011. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF108) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GT 525M has 1,024 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 28.8 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 525M includes 96 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 600 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 525M has the 480th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.76% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2011. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF106) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GT 555M has 1,024 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 28.8 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 555M includes 144 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 525 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 753 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 35 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GT 555M has the 440th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.10% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
