About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2010. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF104) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 470M has 1,536 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 750 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 72 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 470M includes 288 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 535 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 24 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 470M has the 362nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.91% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile (6 GB) GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile (6 GB) is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q3 2022. It is built on the Ampere GPU microarchitecture (codename GA107) and is manufactured on a 8 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 3050 Mobile has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 96 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 168 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 3050 Mobile includes 2,560 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,237 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,492 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 80 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 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 75 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX 3050 Mobile has the 131st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 16.66% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
