Form factor & compatibility

This section provides details about the physical dimensions of ION LE 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	PCI
Width	IGP

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of memory installed on ION LE: 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 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X)
Memory bus width	System Shared	of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
Memory clock speed	System Shared	of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER)

Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on ION LE. 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

No outputs

API compatibility

APIs supported by ION LE, sometimes including their particular versions.

DirectX	11.1 (10_0)
Shader Model	4.0
OpenGL	3.3	of 4.6 (GeForce RTX 4090)
OpenCL	N/A
Vulkan	N/A

Benchmark performance

Synthetic benchmark performance of ION LE. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
