About the NVIDIA Quadro M520 GPU
The NVIDIA Quadro M520 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2017. It is built on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture (codename GM108) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The M520 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,253 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 40.1 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 M520 includes 384 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 965 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,176 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 25 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The M520 has the 320th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.54% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the AMD Radeon HD 7750M GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 7750M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Chelsea) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The HD 7750M has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 64 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 7750M includes 512 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 575 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 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 28 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The HD 7750M has the 359th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.99% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
