About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2019 with a MSRP of $399. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU106) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 2060 SUPER 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 2060 SUPER includes 2,176 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,470 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,650 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 136 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 272 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 34 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 2060 SUPER occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a, USB Type-C display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 175 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 2060 SUPER has the 75th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 28.33% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 29,668 score and $399 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 74.36. This is the 41st best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce MX450 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce MX450 is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q3 2020. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU117S) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The MX450 has 2 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,250 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 80 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 MX450 includes 896 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,395 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,575 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 31 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The MX450 has the 202nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 7.88% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
