Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

GTX 560 Ti has 60% better value for money than GTX 780M Mac Edition.

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	384	1536
Core clock speed	822 MHz	771 MHz
Boost clock speed	no data	797 MHz
Number of transistors	1,950 million	3,540 million
Manufacturing process technology	40 nm	28 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	170 Watt	122 Watt
Texture fill rate	52.67	102.0
Floating-point performance	1,263.4 gflops	2,448 gflops

Form factor & 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	MXM-B (3.0)

Width	2-slot	MXM Module
Supplementary power connectors	2x 6-pin	no data

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	GDDR5
Maximum RAM amount	1 GB	4 GB
Memory bus width	256 Bit	256 Bit
Memory clock speed	2004 MHz	5000 MHz
Memory bandwidth	128.3 GB/s	160.0 GB/s

Connectivity and outputs

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	No outputs
