Cost-effectiveness evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

HD Graphics 520 has 850% better value for money than GT 630 OEM.

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.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	24	192
Core clock speed	300 MHz	875 MHz
Boost clock speed	1050 MHz	no data
Number of transistors	189 million	1,270 million
Manufacturing process technology	14 nm	28 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	15 Watt	50 Watt
Texture fill rate	25.20	14.00
Floating-point performance	no data	336.0 gflops

Form factor & compatibility

Information on HD Graphics 520 and GeForce GT 630 OEM 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 3.0 x16
Length	no data	145 mm
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	DDR3L/LPDDR3/DDR4	DDR3
Maximum RAM amount	32 GB	1 GB
Memory bus width	64/128 Bit	128 Bit
Memory clock speed	System Shared	1782 MHz
