About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2015. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM107) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 950M has 4 GB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 28.8 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 950M includes 640 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 993 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,124 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 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 950M has the 265th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.18% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 GPU

The AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q1 2019. It is built on the GCN 5.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Raven-M) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX Vega 10 includes 640 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 300 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,301 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 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 10 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RX Vega 10 has the 285th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 3.24% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
