About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2018. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP107) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1050 Max-Q has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,752 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 112.1 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 GTX 1050 Max-Q includes 640 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,000 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,139 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 75 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GTX 1050 Max-Q has the 217th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 6.84% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD FirePro W5130M GPU

The AMD FirePro W5130M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2015. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Tropo) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro W5130M has 2 GB 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 FirePro W5130M includes 512 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 900 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 925 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The FirePro W5130M has the 297th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.97% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
