Value for money

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

Technical specs

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	2048	no data
Core clock speed	850 MHz	400 MHz
Number of transistors	4,313 million	125 million
Manufacturing process technology	28 nm	130 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	274 Watt	no data
Texture fill rate	108.8	3.200
Floating-point performance	3,482 gflops	no data

Size and 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 3.0 x16	AGP 8x
Length	279 mm	no data
Width	2-slot	1-slot
Supplementary power connectors	no data	1x Molex

Memory

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	GDDR5	DDR2
Maximum RAM amount	6 GB	128 MB
Memory bus width	384 Bit	128 Bit
Memory clock speed	5480 MHz	800 MHz
Memory bandwidth	263.0 GB/s	12.8 GB/s

Video outputs and ports

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

Display Connectors

6x mini-DisplayPort, 1x SDI

2x DVI, 1x S-Video

API support

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

DirectX	12 (11_1)	9.0a
Shader Model	5.1	no data
OpenGL	4.6	1.5 (2.1)
OpenCL	1.2	N/A
Vulkan	1.2.131	N/A
