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 RTX A5500 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2022. It is built on the Ampere GPU microarchitecture (codename GA103) and is manufactured on a 8 nm process.

Memory

The RTX A5500 Mobile has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,000 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 512 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 A5500 Mobile includes 7,424 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 975 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,500 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 232 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 96 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 232 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 58 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 165 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX A5500 Mobile has the 57th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 33.82% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
