Size and compatibility

Information on GeForce 305M'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.

Bus support	PCI-E 2.0
Interface	PCIe 2.0 x16

Memory

Parameters of memory installed on GeForce 305M: 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	GDDR2, GDDR3, DDR2, DDR3
Maximum RAM amount	Up to 512 MB	of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X)
Memory bus width	64 Bit	of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
