Size and 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 |
Memory
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 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
Memory bus width | System Shared | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
