Form factor & compatibility

Information on GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and Quadro NVS 150M 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.

Interface	PCIe 4.0 x16	MXM-I
Length	285 mm	no data
Width	2-slot	no data
Supplementary power connectors	1x 12-pin	no data
