Cost-effectiveness evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

GT 630 and HD Graphics 2500 have a nearly equal value for money.

Detailed specifications

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	96	6
Core clock speed	810 MHz	650 MHz
Boost clock speed	no data	1150 MHz
Number of transistors	585 million	392 million
Manufacturing process technology	40 nm	22 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	65 Watt	unknown
Texture fill rate	12.96	6.900
Floating-point performance	311.0 gflops	13.8 gflops

Form factor & compatibility

Information on GeForce GT 630 and HD Graphics 2500 compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). 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.
