Value for money

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

Technical specs

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.

Core clock speed	732 MHz	240 MHz
Number of transistors	3,000 million	36 million
Manufacturing process technology	40 nm	150 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	210 Watt	no data
Texture fill rate	40.99	0.96
Floating-point performance	1,311.7 gflops	no data

Size and compatibility

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

Interface	PCIe 2.0 x16	AGP 8x
Length	267 mm	no data
Width	2-slot	1-slot
Supplementary power connectors	2x 6-pin	None

Memory

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	DDR
Maximum RAM amount	1280 MB	64 MB
Memory bus width	320 Bit	64 Bit
Memory clock speed	3800 MHz	400 MHz
Memory bandwidth	152.0 GB/s	3.2 GB/s

Video outputs and ports

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

Display Connectors	2x DVI, 1x mini-HDMI	1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video
HDMI	+	no data
