About the AMD Radeon HD 8490 GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 8490 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2013. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Caicos) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The HD 8490 has 1,024 MB 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 HD 8490 includes 160 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 875 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The HD 8490 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, DisplayPort 1.1 display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 35 W.
