VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	GDDR5	VRAM
Maximum RAM amount	4 GB	1 MB
Memory bus width	128 Bit	64 Bit
Memory clock speed	1253 MHz	10 MHz
Memory bandwidth	80.19 GB/s	80 MB/s

Connectivity and outputs

This section shows the types and number of video connectors on each GPU. The data applies specifically to desktop reference models (for example, NVIDIA’s Founders Edition). OEM partners often modify both the number and types of ports. On notebook GPUs, video‐output options are determined by the laptop’s design rather than the graphics chip itself.

Display Connectors	2x DVI, 1x mini-HDMI	1x VGA
HDMI	+	-
