Due to a higher core clock of up to 850 MHz the GT 650M is noticably faster than the 640M. The graphics card uses a 128-Bit wide memory interface with either the more common but slower DDR3 for VRAM or the more expensive and faster GDDR5. It is a Kepler-based GPU built on the GK107 architecture and is manufactured in 28nm at TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M is a mid-range, DirectX 11.1 compatible graphics card that was announced in the first quarter of 2012 for laptops. NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M ► remove from comparison The power consumption should be similar to the old Radeon HD 8670M and slightly above the Maxwell-based Nvidia GeForce 830M. As a result, the R7 M370 is best suited for 13-inch notebooks or larger. Additionally, it allows audio output simultaneously and in parallel to multiple devices with the new Discrete Digital Multipoint Audio (DDMA) feature. The integrated HD audio processor is able to transmit HD Audio (TrueHD or DTS Master Audio) over HDMI and DisplayPort (e.g., for Blu-Ray videos). For example, the chip may be underclocked when running FurMark and OCCT, but will overclock in certain games like Lost Planet, Crysis or Resident Evil 5. PowerTune allows automatic overclocking and underclocking of the graphics card as long as the GPU is within its TDP limit. Other features include ZeroCore for reducing power consumption when the display is turned off and Power Gating to power down areas of the chip that are not used. Furthermore, the M265 can directly support multiple monitors using Eyefinity Technology if Enduro is disabled. Called Enduro, the technology supersedes AMD's Dynamic Switchable Graphics and is similar to Nvidia's Optimus.
The R7 series also supports automatic graphics switching between the integrated GPU and discrete GPU. Multi-View Codec (MVC) and MPEG-4 part 2 (DivX, xVid) HD videos are compatible as well. Compared to old TeraScale 2 chips, the GCN-based Mars architecture offers improved performance in this framework.įeatures of the R7 M370 include video decoding for MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2, and Flash directly by the AMD GPU. The 384 shaders can be used with OpenCL 1.2 for general-purpose calculations (as 6 compute units).
In older games, however, higher quality settings will be possible. Current and demanding games of 2015 will run fluently only low or medium resolutions and detail settings. Thanks to its relatively high memory bandwidth, the performance of the Radeon R7 M370 is similar to the Nvidia GeForce 830M. Therefore, it is similar to the older Radeon R9 M260X but slightly lower clocked. It is based on the 28nm Mars chip that uses the GCN (Graphics Core Next) architecture.
