About the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 Mobile 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 Mobile 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 RTX 3000 Mobile includes 1,920 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 945 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,380 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 80 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 Mobile has the 114th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 19.00% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon R7 M260 GPU

The AMD Radeon R7 M260 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2014. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Topaz) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R7 M260 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 R7 M260 includes 384 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 940 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 980 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The R7 M260 has the 368th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.81% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
