About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2022. It is built on the Ampere GPU microarchitecture (codename GA103) and is manufactured on a 8 nm process.
Memory
The RTX 3080 Ti Mobile has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,000 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 512 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 Ti Mobile includes 7,424 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 810 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,260 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 232 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 96 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 232 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 58 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 Ti Mobile has the 34th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 40.42% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2019. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU116) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 288 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 1660 Ti Max-Q includes 1,536 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,140 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,335 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 96 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 60 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q has the 130th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 16.67% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
