About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2012. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF117) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GT 630M has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 64 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 630M includes 96 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 800 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 33 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GT 630M has the 453rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.99% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon R9 M370X (Mac Edition) GPU

The AMD Radeon R9 M370X (Mac Edition) is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2015. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Tropo) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R9 M370X has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,125 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 72 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 R9 M370X includes 640 stream processors (SPs), 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 40 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 50 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The R9 M370X has the 279th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 3.48% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
