About the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2019. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU106) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 3000 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 RTX 3000 Max-Q includes 1,920 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 600 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,215 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 120 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 240 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 30 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

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 RTX 3000 Max-Q has the 146th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 13.50% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.

About the Intel Arc A380 GPU

The Intel Arc A380 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q2 2022 with a MSRP of $149. It is built on the Generation 12.7 GPU microarchitecture (codename DG2-128) and is manufactured on a 6 nm process.

Memory

The Arc A380 has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,937 MHz memory clock and a 96 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 186 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 Arc A380 includes 1,024 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,000 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,050 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 64 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 128 Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) optimized for AI workloads and 8 ray tracing units dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The Arc A380 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.0 display connections. Intel recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Arc A380 has the 168th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 10.70% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 13,892 score and $149 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 93.23. This is the 33rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
