About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2017. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP107) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1050 Mobile has 2 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 Mobile 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 1,493 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 Mobile has the 212th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 7.34% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon R7 370 GPU

The AMD Radeon R7 370 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2015 with a MSRP of $149. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Trinidad) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R7 370 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,400 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 179.2 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 R7 370 includes 1,024 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 925 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 975 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 64 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The R7 370 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 1.4a, DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 110 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The R7 370 has the 196th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 8.14% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 8,518.5 score and $149 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 57.17. This is the 59th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
