Form factor & compatibility

This section provides details about the physical dimensions of GeForce 8300 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	PCI
Width	IGP

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of memory installed on GeForce 8300: 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 294912 (Radeon Instinct MI325X)
Memory bus width	System Shared	of 8192 Bit (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
Memory clock speed	System Shared	of 20000 (RTX 5000 Ada Generation Mobile)

Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on GeForce 8300. 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

1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video

API compatibility

APIs supported by GeForce 8300, sometimes including their particular versions.

DirectX	11.1 (10_0)
Shader Model	4.0
OpenGL	3.3	of 4.6 (GeForce RTX 4090)

Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
