The NVIDIA GeForce 410M is a legacy mobile graphics processor built on the Fermi 2.0 architecture, and its benchmark data positions it as an entry-level part from a bygone era. With an average benchmark score of 1003, it sits at the 4th percentile of all GPUs, meaning 96% of recorded devices outperform it. The data indicates this is not a component for modern gaming or demanding creative workloads, but rather a historical piece whose performance profile is best understood relative to the specific rivals captured in the database.
Benchmark Performance
The GeForce 410M’s sole benchmark listing is a Geekbench OpenCL score of 1003. This figure is the defining metric for its performance class, and it places the chip in the lowest tier of the database’s distribution. Interpreting the score requires context from the nearest rivals, which reveal a tightly clustered group of similarly limited performers.
The most striking comparison is against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB, which holds an identical average score of 1003, resulting in a 0% delta. This is a statistical anomaly: the 410M matches a modern discrete GPU in this specific OpenCL test, despite the massive generational and architectural gap. The data does not explain why this occurs, but it highlights that raw benchmark scores in this narrow test do not always correlate with real-world capability, especially for a 2011 chip with 48 shading units.
Relative to the AMD Radeon Pro WX Vega M GL, the 410M is 4.8% faster, with the AMD part scoring 957. Similarly, it leads the AMD Radeon R9 390 by 5%, as that card scores 955. These deltas are modest, suggesting that in the constrained context of this OpenCL workload, the 410M performs competitively with these otherwise far more powerful desktop and professional parts. However, this is not a reason for enthusiasm; it is a reflection of the test’s limited scope and the age of the workload.
The picture reverses against the AMD Radeon HD 7570M, where the 410M is 9.1% slower. The HD 7570M scores 1103, making it the strongest performer in this rival group. This is the only rival that clearly outpaces the 410M, and the margin is small enough to classify both as roughly equivalent in the entry-level mobile segment of their time. The data shows a performance spread of only about 14% between the slowest and fastest of these four rivals, underscoring that the 410M operates in a narrow performance band defined by legacy and low-power constraints.
Who Should Consider It
Given the 4th percentile ranking and the 110.1 GFLOPS FP32 throughput, the GeForce 410M is not suitable for any modern gaming resolution or settings profile. The data offers no evidence of capability at 1080p or higher, and the pixel rate of 1.148 GPixel/s alongside a texture rate of 4.592 GTexel/s confirms severe limitations. This is a chip for basic 2D desktop output, video playback, and legacy applications from its 2011 release era.
The 1024 MB DDR3 memory and 12.80 GB/s bandwidth further restrict it to low-resolution, low-detail scenarios. For users running pre-2011 games at 720p or below with minimal settings, the 410M might provide playable frame rates, but the benchmark data does not validate any specific title. The 4% percentile score indicates that any contemporary workload will be handled poorly. This GPU is best considered by collectors, retro-system builders, or those documenting historical hardware performance, not by anyone seeking a functional gaming or productivity accelerator.
How It Compares
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB: The database shows a 0% delta, with both parts scoring 1003. This is a parity result that defies expectation, as the RTX 3050 is a modern discrete card while the 410M is an integrated-class mobile part. The data suggests that in this specific OpenCL test, the two are indistinguishable, but this does not imply equal gaming or compute performance across other workloads. The 410M’s 48 shading units and 4 ROPs are dwarfed by the RTX 3050’s architecture, yet the benchmark records no difference.
AMD Radeon Pro WX Vega M GL: The 410M leads this AMD professional mobile GPU by 4.8%, scoring 1003 versus 957. This is a surprising result given the Vega architecture’s newer design and higher bandwidth capabilities. The delta is small, and the data indicates that the 410M holds a slight edge in this particular test, but the practical difference is negligible. Both parts are far below the median GPU performance level.
AMD Radeon R9 390: The 410M is 5% faster than this desktop card, with scores of 1003 and 955 respectively. The R9 390 is a high-power desktop GPU from a later generation, yet the OpenCL workload here shows the 410M ahead. This reflects the test’s specific nature, not general superiority. The 12 W TDP of the 410M versus the R9 390’s far higher power draw is not stated in the data, but the performance parity is recorded.
AMD Radeon HD 7570M: This is the only rival that beats the 410M, doing so by 9.1% with a score of 1103. The HD 7570M is a contemporary mobile competitor from 2012, and the data shows it as the clear winner in this group. The 410M’s 12.80 GB/s bandwidth and 64-bit bus likely contribute to this deficit, though the pack does not list the HD 7570M’s specs for direct comparison.

Power and Cooling
The GeForce 410M has a thermal design power of just 12 W, classifying it as an ultra-low-power component. This TDP is typical for an integrated graphics processor (IGP) as indicated by its slot width designation, which means it is not a discrete card but rather a chip designed for laptop motherboards. Consequently, it requires no power connectors, and the data lists "None" for its power connector requirement. The suggested PSU field is null, meaning the database provides no recommendation; given the 12 W draw, any system power supply capable of running the host laptop is sufficient. The lack of a discrete power connector and the IGP form factor indicate that cooling is handled by the laptop’s existing thermal solution, with no additional heatsink or fan requirements beyond what the system already includes. The 40 nm process node from TSMC, housing 292 million transistors on a 79 mm² die, contributes to this minimal power footprint.
Memory Subsystem
The memory subsystem consists of 1024 MB of DDR3 memory operating at an effective speed of 1600 Mbps, achieved through an 800 MHz base memory clock. The bus width is restricted to 64 bits, which severely limits data throughput, resulting in a total bandwidth of 12.80 GB/s. This figure is exceptionally low by modern standards and is a primary bottleneck for any workload. For high-resolution rendering, the data indicates this is a non-starter: 1080p or higher resolutions require far more bandwidth than 12.80 GB/s can provide. The 4 ROPs and 1.148 GPixel/s pixel fill rate further constrain output to low resolutions and simple scenes. The 1024 MB capacity is also minimal, sufficient only for legacy games and basic desktop compositing. In the context of its nearest rivals, the 410M’s bandwidth is consistent with the low-score cluster, but the HD 7570M’s superior 1103 score suggests that rival may have a more capable memory interface, though that spec is not in the pack.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The GeForce 410M does not include ray tracing cores or tensor cores; these fields are null in the data. This is expected for a Fermi 2.0 architecture chip from 2011, as ray tracing acceleration did not appear in NVIDIA’s consumer GPUs until much later. The feature set is defined by its API support: DirectX 12 (11_0) and OpenGL 4.6. The DirectX 12 support is limited to the 11_0 feature level, meaning it cannot leverage DirectX 12’s advanced features like mesh shaders or variable rate shading. Vulkan support is not listed, indicating a null or absent capability. The 48 shading units provide 110.1 GFLOPS of FP32 compute, which is the raw shader throughput available for any graphics or compute task. The texture rate of 4.592 GTexel/s, driven by 8 TMUs, is another indicator of its limited fill capabilities. For ray tracing, the absence of dedicated cores means any such workload would be impossible or prohibitively slow, and the data provides no evidence of ray tracing performance. The chip’s feature set is firmly rooted in the DirectX 11 era, making it unsuitable for modern API-dependent applications.
