Core clock speed	no data	1605 MHz
Boost clock speed	1650 MHz	2175 MHz
Number of transistors	10,800 million	no data
Manufacturing process technology	12 nm	5 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	184 Watt	115 Watt (35 - 115 Watt TGP)
Texture fill rate	224.4	244.1

Form factor & compatibility

Information on GeForce RTX 2060 12 GB and GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile 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.
