About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 720M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 720M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2013. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF117) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GT 720M has 2 GB 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 720M includes 96 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 625 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 938 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 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 720M has the 432nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.16% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce MX350 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce MX350 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2020. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP107S) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The MX350 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,752 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 56.06 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 MX350 includes 640 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,354 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,468 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 MX350 has the 227th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.89% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
