Cost-effectiveness evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

HD Graphics 405 and ATI HD 2600 XT have a nearly equal value for money.

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.

Core clock speed	320 MHz	800 MHz
Boost clock speed	700 MHz	no data
Number of transistors	189 million	390 million
Manufacturing process technology	14 nm	65 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	6 Watt	45 Watt
Texture fill rate	11.20	6.400
Floating-point performance	213.1 gflops	192 gflops

Form factor & compatibility

Information on HD Graphics 405 and Radeon HD 2600 XT 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 3.0 x1	PCIe 1.0 x16
Width	no data	1-slot
Supplementary power connectors	no data	None

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	System Shared	GDDR3
Maximum RAM amount	System Shared	256 MB
Memory bus width	64/128 Bit	128 Bit
Memory clock speed	System Shared	1400 MHz
Memory bandwidth	no data	22.4 GB/s
Shared memory	+	no data

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.

Display Connectors

No outputs

2x DVI, 1x S-Video
