Form factor & compatibility
This section provides details about the physical dimensions of GMA 950 and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).
| Interface | PCIe 1.0 x16 |
VRAM capacity and type
Parameters of memory installed on GMA 950: 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 288 GB (Radeon Instinct MI325X) |
| Memory bus width | System Shared | of 384 (GeForce GTX 980 Ti) |
| Memory clock speed | System Shared | of 16384000 MB (GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile) |
| Shared memory | + |
Connectivity and outputs
Types and number of video connectors present on GMA 950. 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 |
