Maximum RAM amount	32 GB ×2	2 GB
Memory bus width	4096 Bit ×2	64 Bit
Memory clock speed	1000 MHz	1125 MHz
Memory bandwidth	1.02 TB/s ×2	36 GB/s

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 HDMI 2.0b, 4x Thunderbolt	Portable Device Dependent
HDMI	+	-
