About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2017. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP104B) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 1070 Max-Q has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 2,002 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 256.3 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 1070 Max-Q includes 2,048 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,215 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,379 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 128 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 115 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The GTX 1070 Max-Q has the 118th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 17.87% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the AMD Radeon R9 M280X GPU
The AMD Radeon R9 M280X is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2015. It is built on the GCN 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Saturn) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The R9 M280X has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,375 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 88 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 R9 M280X includes 896 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 1,000 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 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 R9 M280X has the 256th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.49% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
