About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q1 2015 with a MSRP of $199. It is built on the Maxwell 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GM206) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 960 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,753 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 112.2 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 960 includes 1,024 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,127 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,178 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 GTX 960 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 120 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The GTX 960 has the 172nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 10.29% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 10,767.5 score and $199 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 54.11. This is the 61st best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
About the AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200 GPU
The AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200 is a workstation graphics card that launched in Q3 2019 with a MSRP of $199. It is built on the GCN 4.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Polaris 23) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.
Memory
The Pro WX 3200 has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 128 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 Pro WX 3200 includes 640 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,295 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The Pro WX 3200 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports mini-DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 65 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The Pro WX 3200 has the 267th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.15% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 4,337.5 score and $199 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 21.8. This is the 84th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
