About the NVIDIA GeForce MX150 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce MX150 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2017. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP108) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The MX150 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 MX150 includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,469 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,532 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 GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 25 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The MX150 has the 262nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.30% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2021. It is built on the Ampere GPU microarchitecture (codename GA104) and is manufactured on a 8 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 3080 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 448 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 RTX 3080 Mobile includes 6,144 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,110 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,545 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 192 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 96 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 192 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 48 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 115 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX 3080 Mobile has the 44th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 36.27% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
