About the NVIDIA GeForce MX130 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce MX130 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2017. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM108S) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The MX130 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,253 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 40.1 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 MX130 includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,109 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,189 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 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 30 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The MX130 has the 307th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.74% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2017 with a MSRP of $79. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP108) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.
Memory
The GT 1030 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,502 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 48.06 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 GT 1030 includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,228 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,468 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GT 1030 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0 display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 30 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The GT 1030 has the 255th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.51% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 4,727.5 score and $79 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 59.84. This is the 54th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
