About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q2 2019 with a MSRP of $149. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU117) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 1650 has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 2,001 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 128.1 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 1650 includes 896 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,485 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,665 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GTX 1650 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The GTX 1650 has the 151st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 13.05% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 13,645 score and $149 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 91.58. This is the 24th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
About the NVIDIA GeForce 945M GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 945M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2016. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM108) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The 945M has 1,024 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 1,001 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 16.02 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 945M includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,006 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,189 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 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 23 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The 945M has the 289th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 3.16% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
