Form factor & compatibility

Information on compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility).

Interface	PCIe 2.0 x16	PCIe 1.0 x16
Length	168 mm	no data
Width	1-slot	2-slot
Supplementary power connectors	None	no data

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	DDR3	GDDR3
Maximum RAM amount	1 GB	1536 MB ×2
Memory bus width	128 Bit	384 Bit ×2
Memory clock speed	800 MHz	800 MHz
Memory bandwidth	25.6 GB/s	76.8 GB/s ×2

Connectivity and outputs

This section shows the types and number of video connectors on each GPU. The data applies specifically to desktop reference models (for example, NVIDIA’s Founders Edition). OEM partners often modify both the number and types of ports. On notebook GPUs, video‐output options are determined by the laptop’s design rather than the graphics chip itself.

Display Connectors

1x DVI, 1x DisplayPort

No outputs

API and SDK support

List of supported 3D and general-purpose computing APIs, including their specific versions.
