About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2016. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP104B) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1080 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR5X memory, with a 1,251 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 320.3 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 1080 Mobile includes 2,560 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,557 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,734 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 160 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 150 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GTX 1080 Mobile has the 82nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 27.27% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA RTX A2000 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA RTX A2000 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2021. It is built on the Ampere GPU microarchitecture (codename GA106) and is manufactured on a 8 nm process.

Memory

The RTX A2000 Mobile has 4 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 192 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 A2000 Mobile includes 2,560 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 1,687 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 80 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 80 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 20 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 95 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX A2000 Mobile has the 120th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 17.26% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
