About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 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 3070 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 3070 Mobile includes 5,120 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 1,560 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 160 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 80 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 160 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 40 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 3070 Mobile has the 63rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 32.50% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2016 with a MSRP of $109. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP107) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1050 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,752 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 112.1 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 GTX 1050 includes 640 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,354 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,455 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 1050 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 1050 has the 195th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 8.19% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 8,571 score and $109 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 78.63. This is the 37th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
