About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q4 2021. It is built on the Ampere GPU microarchitecture (codename GA107) and is manufactured on a 8 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 2050 Mobile has 4 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 112 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 2050 Mobile includes 2,048 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 735 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,245 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 64 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 64 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 32 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

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 RTX 2050 Mobile has the 158th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 11.80% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2010. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF106) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 460M has 1,536 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 625 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 60 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 460M includes 192 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 675 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 24 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 50 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GTX 460M has the 400th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.55% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
