NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850A: specs and benchmarks
Aggregated performance score
Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce GTX 850A sales 17 March 2014. This is a Maxwell architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 2 GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1.8 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 28.8 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is an integrated video card. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 45 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 2.71% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
