About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q4 2022 with a MSRP of $1,199. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD103) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.
Memory
The RTX 4080 has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory, with a 1,400 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 716.8 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 4080 includes 9,728 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,205 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,505 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 304 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 112 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 304 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 76 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The RTX 4080 is a large graphics card, occupying 3 PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. With a thermal design power (TDP) of 320 W and a large, 3-slot size, it is recommended to use a power supply of 700 W and a case with sufficient space to accommodate the card. Compare your card's model and your case's dimensions to verify compatibility.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The RTX 4080 has the 3rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 82.47% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 86,267 score and $1,199 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 71.95. This is the 43rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
About the AMD Radeon HD 8690M GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 8690M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2013. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Sun) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The HD 8690M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 32 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 HD 8690M includes 320 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 925 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 975 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 20 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Benchmark Performance
The HD 8690M has the 401st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.53% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
