Form factor & compatibility
This section provides details about the physical dimensions of HD Graphics 3000 and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).
| Interface | Ring Bus |
VRAM capacity and type
Parameters of memory installed on HD Graphics 3000: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | System Shared | |
| Maximum RAM amount | System Shared | of 288 GB (Radeon Instinct MI325X) |
| Memory bus width | System Shared | of 384 (GeForce GTX 980 Ti) |
| Memory clock speed | System Shared | of 16384000 MB (GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile) |
| Shared memory | + |
Connectivity and outputs
Types and number of video connectors present on HD Graphics 3000. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.
| Display Connectors | Portable Device Dependent |
API and SDK compatibility
APIs supported by HD Graphics 3000, sometimes including their particular versions.
| DirectX | 11.1 (10_1) | |
| Shader Model | 4.1 | |
| OpenGL | 3.1 | of 4.6 (RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell) |
| OpenCL | N/A | |

Benchmark performance
Synthetic benchmark performance of HD Graphics 3000. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
Combined synthetic benchmark score
This is our combined benchmark score.
Passmark
This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
3DMark Vantage Performance
3DMark Vantage is an outdated DirectX 10 benchmark using 1280x1024 screen resolution. It taxes the graphics card with two scenes, one depicting a girl escaping some militarized base located within a sea cave, the other displaying a space fleet attack on a defenseless planet. It was discontinued in April 2017, and Time Spy benchmark is now recommended to be used instead.
3DMark Cloud Gate GPU
Cloud Gate is an outdated DirectX 11 feature level 10 benchmark that was used for home PCs and basic notebooks. It displays a few scenes of some weird space teleportation device launching spaceships into unknown, using fixed resolution of 1280x720. Just like Ice Storm benchmark, it has been discontinued in January 2020 and replaced by 3DMark Night Raid.
