General info Technical specs Memory Benchmarks Mining Gaming NVIDIA equivalent User rating Advices and comments

Summary

AMD started Radeon E8950 sales 29 September 2015. This is GCN 3.0 architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 8 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 6 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 192.0 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via MXM-B (3.0) interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 95 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 0.03 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
