About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2012. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF116) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GT 550M 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 550M includes 144 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 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 550M has the 459th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.93% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon RX 6700M GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 6700M is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2021. It is built on the RDNA 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 22) and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.

Memory

The RX 6700M has 10 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,000 MHz memory clock and a 160 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 320 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 RX 6700M includes 2,304 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,489 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,400 MHz. It usually operates at 2,300 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 144 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 36 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 135 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RX 6700M has the 64th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 32.02% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
