About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2012. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK107) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GT 640M LE 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 640M LE includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 500 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 570 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 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 20 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GT 640M LE has the 428th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.20% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q2 2023 with a MSRP of $299. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD107) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 4060 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,125 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 272 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 RTX 4060 includes 3,072 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,830 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,460 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 96 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 96 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 24 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 4060 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 115 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 4060 has the 42nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 36.51% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 38,191 score and $299 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 127.73. This is the 4th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
