Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between TDP and TGP?

TDP is the Thermal Design Power. TGP is Total Graphics Power. While both terms are very similar, TGP is more specific to Graphics Cars and indicates how much power the card will draw from a power supply. By contrast TDP refers to the total amount of heat produced by your GPU. Gamers use this number to find out how powerful the unit is.

What’s the difference between TBP and TGP?

TBP means Total Board Power. TGP means Total Graphics Power. They are the same thing. The different names exist because AMD uses TBP and Nvidia uses TGP to indicate card wattage, and their means of testing are slightly different.
