About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2014. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK104) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 880M has 8 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 880M includes 1,536 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 954 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 993 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 880M has the 194th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 8.20% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK104) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 680M has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 115.2 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 680M includes 1,344 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 758 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 112 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 680M has the 231st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.64% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
