About the NVIDIA Quadro M500M GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro M500M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2016. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM108S) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The M500M has 2 GB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 14.4 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 M500M includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,029 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,124 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 30 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The M500M has the 337th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.26% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce MX330 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce MX330 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2020. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP108B) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The MX330 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,752 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 56.06 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 MX330 includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,531 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,594 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 10 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The MX330 has the 253rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.62% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
