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	1515 MHz	500 MHz
Boost clock speed	1710 MHz	no data
Number of transistors	13,600 million	210 million
Manufacturing process technology	12 nm	80 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	215 Watt	40 Watt
Texture fill rate	314.6	4.000

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).
