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 129th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 16.73% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2021. It is built on the Ampere GPU microarchitecture (codename GA104) and is manufactured on a 8 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 3080 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 448 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 3080 Mobile includes 6,144 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,110 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,545 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 192 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 96 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 192 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 48 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 115 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX 3080 Mobile has the 44th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 36.22% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
