About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2011. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF114) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 580M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 750 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 96 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 580M includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 620 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 64 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 580M has the 296th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.98% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon R5 M330 GPU

The AMD Radeon R5 M330 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2015. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Exo) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R5 M330 has 2 GB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 14.4 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 R5 M330 includes 320 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 955 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,030 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 20 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 18 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The R5 M330 has the 396th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.61% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
