About the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2023. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD103) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 5000 Ada Generation Mobile has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,250 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 576 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 5000 Ada Generation Mobile includes 9,728 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,425 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,115 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 304 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 112 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 304 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 76 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 120 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX 5000 Ada Generation Mobile has the 24th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 50.72% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2015 with a MSRP of $159. It is built on the Maxwell 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GM206) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 950 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,653 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 105.8 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 GTX 950 includes 768 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,024 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,188 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 950 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 90 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 950 has the 199th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 7.98% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 8,351 score and $159 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 52.52. This is the 63rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
