About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX (Mac Edition) GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX (Mac Edition) is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2012. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK104) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 680MX has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,250 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 160 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 680MX includes 1,536 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 719 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 719 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 128 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 122 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GTX 680MX has the 224th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 6.44% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA Quadro T1200 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro T1200 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2021. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU117) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The T1200 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 T1200 Mobile includes 1,024 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,515 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,785 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 64 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 64 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads.

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 T1200 Mobile has the 148th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 13.75% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
