| Manufacturing process technology | 150 nm | of 4 (Radeon 780M) |
| Texture fill rate | 0.27 | of 969.9 (H100 SXM5 96 GB) |
Size and compatibility
Information on Extreme Graphics 2's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
| Interface | PCIe 1.0 x16 |
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on Extreme Graphics 2: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | System Shared | |
| Maximum RAM amount | System Shared | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
| Memory bus width | System Shared | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory clock speed | System Shared | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
| Shared memory | - |
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on Extreme Graphics 2. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.
| Display Connectors | No outputs |
API support
APIs supported by Extreme Graphics 2, sometimes including their particular versions.
| DirectX | 7.0 | |
| OpenGL | 1.3 | of 4.6 (GeForce RTX 4090) |
| OpenCL | N/A | |
| Vulkan | N/A |
