About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2010. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF100) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 480M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 600 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 76.8 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 480M includes 352 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 425 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 44 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 100 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GTX 480M has the 350th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.09% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon 610M GPU

The AMD Radeon 610M is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q3 2022. It is built on the RDNA 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Mendocino) and is manufactured on a 6 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The 610M includes 128 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,500 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,900 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 2 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The 610M has the 308th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.74% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
