Detailed specifications

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	8	4608
Boost clock speed	2300 MHz	2105 MHz
Number of transistors	no data	23,000 million
Manufacturing process technology	5 nm	7 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	no data	255 Watt
Texture fill rate	no data	606.2
Floating-point performance	no data	19.4 gflops

Form factor & compatibility
