About the NVIDIA RTX A2000 Mobile (8 GB) GPU

The RTX A2000 Mobile (8 GB) is a graphics card by NVIDIA. It is built on the Ampere GPU microarchitecture and is manufactured on a 8 nm process.

Memory

The RTX A2000 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 192 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 A2000 Mobile includes 2,560 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 893 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,687 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 80 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 80 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 20 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 95 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX A2000 Mobile has the 120th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 17.26% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q1 2011 with a MSRP of $699. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF110) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 590 has 1,536 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 854 MHz memory clock and a 384 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 164 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 590 includes 512 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 607 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 64 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 590 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, mini-DisplayPort display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 750 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 365 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 590 has the 188th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 8.76% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 9,166.5 score and $699 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 13.11. This is the 93rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
