Cost-Effectiveness Evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

Detailed Specifications

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.

Floating-point performance	no data	10.2 gflops

Form Factor & Compatibility

Information on GeForce RTX 3080 and HD Graphics 2000 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	PCIe 1.0 x16
Length	285 mm	no data
Width	2-slot	no data
Supplementary power connectors	1x 12-pin	no data
