About the NVIDIA T500 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA T500 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q4 2020. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU117) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The T500 Mobile has 4 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,250 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 80 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 T500 Mobile includes 896 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,185 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,560 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 18 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The T500 Mobile has the 207th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 7.63% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD FirePro W7170M GPU

The AMD FirePro W7170M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2015. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Amethyst) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro W7170M has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,250 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 160 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 FirePro W7170M includes 2,048 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 723 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 128 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 100 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The FirePro W7170M has the 183rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 9.27% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
