About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2014. It is built on the Maxwell 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GM204) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 980M has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,253 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 160.4 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 GTX 980M includes 1,536 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,038 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,127 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 96 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 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 980M has the 157th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 11.97% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q1 2014 with a MSRP of $149. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM107) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 750 Ti has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,350 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 86.4 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 GTX 750 Ti includes 640 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,020 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,085 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 GTX 750 Ti is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, mini-HDMI 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 60 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The GTX 750 Ti has the 237th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.14% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 5,378 score and $149 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 36.09. This is the 72nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
