About the NVIDIA Quadro K4100M GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro K4100M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2013 with a MSRP of $1,499. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK104) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The K4100M has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 102.4 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 K4100M includes 1,152 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 706 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 706 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 96 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 100 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The K4100M has the 249th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.74% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 4,957 score and $1,499 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 3.31. This is the 103rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q4 2019 with a MSRP of $229. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU116) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1660 SUPER has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 336 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 SUPER includes 1,408 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,530 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,785 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 88 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 1660 SUPER occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 125 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 1660 SUPER has the 106th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 21.01% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 21,980.5 score and $229 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 95.98. This is the 19th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
