Boost clock speed	797 MHz	2500 MHz
Number of transistors	3,540 million	25,390 million
Manufacturing process technology	28 nm	4 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	122 Watt	30 Watt (30 - 15 Watt TGP)
Texture fill rate	102.0	40.00
Floating-point performance	2,448 gflops	no data

Form factor & compatibility

Information on GeForce GTX 780M Mac Edition and Radeon 740M 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.

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.
