A ranking of mobile graphics cards of the new generation

Graphic card – it is a device that prints the image on the screen. Responsible for image quality in games, movies and surfing. This is one of the basic elements of computers and laptops. From the graphics card affects overall performance, speed and, of course, price. We offer you to see the ranking of mobile graphics cards on the market in 2014.

Top Five

The Palm for superiority in the market of GPUs is divided between the two largest producers. It's Nvidia and AMD. The creators Nvidia has implemented a technical breakthrough by going in 2016 with ninth-generation Maxwell to platform Pascal. Therefore, the honorable first place is occupied by the GeForce GTX 1080.

Model Radeon RX 580 in second place in the ranking of mobile graphics cards. AMD has decided not to lag behind: in 2016 has released a line of fourth-generation RX 400, and later revealed to the world the flagship of the updated architecture of the Polaris under the label RX 580.

Lower Class are the following fees:

• Radeon R9 M295X;
• GeForce GTX 1050;
• GeForce 840M.

What we identified

There are two types of graphics cards: integrated and discrete. The first is directly integrated into the North bridge of the motherboard or CPU, such as Intel HD Graphics. Discrete – it is a separate chip with its own VRAM memory from 2 to 8GB. Advantages of integrated graphics core – the price and power consumption. About any competition between these two types of graphics cards cannot be considered.

The Integrated model uses system RAM and concede to the power of its discrete relatives. Therefore, the rating of the performance of mobile graphics cards with discrete graphics above. If you intend to play with high settings on a laptop, the integrated GPU will not work. They are designed only to work with office programs or surfing.

The Value of trademarks

Quadro, GeForce, Radeon, Iris – this line of graphics cards, informing the user about the capabilities of the Board. For example, Nvidia Quadro refers to the chips class workstation, and GeForce GTX addition to the main line of gaming and multimedia graphics processors. The name is a determining factor of the ranking of mobile graphics cards.

AMD traditionally contain the nickname of the Radeon, and then the prefix, talking about the performance of the chip. R9 is a high performance line of AMD, R7 and – medium. R5 and R3 are chips entry level of the company.

If the marking is present, the letter “M” placed before the second batch of numbers, the fee designed for mobile devices such as laptops and tablets. However, since the 400 series AMD has abandoned the usual “M” and marked every chip in the line index “RX”.

The Number that follows indicates the generation. The longer it takes, the higher the ranking of mobile graphics cards. The second and third numbers indicate performance, the core of the video card, the speed parameters. “X” at the end means that this version is faster than the previous one. For example, chip R9 380 slower than his successor marked 380X.

Graphic processor

The Ranking of mobile graphics cards for laptops is also determined by a set of characteristics: ROP, TMU, memory type. In order not to get lost in the maze of acronyms, we offer a set of core specifications:

1. Throughput-the rate at which data can be read or written to VRAM. Measured by the number of gigabytes per second. GPU with high bandwidth memory visualizes the image quickly and efficiently.
2. Clock frequency-measured in megahertz and also affects performance.
3. CUDA-kernel. CUDA – is a programming language for Nvidia, managing the graphics processor to perform tasks with greater speed and efficiency. Chip can contain thousands of nuclei. Their number affects the graphics acceleration, the ability to produce specific mathematical and cloud computing. The leader of our top contains 2560 cores.
4. Stream Processor. This response is based on CUDA. Technology is responsible for the mathematical calculations necessary for graphics rendering. Ruler of the fourth generation of Radeon RX has 2048 Stream processors.

Based on the proposed characteristics, you can make your ranking of mobile graphics cards and graphics processors for the PC.
