Connectivity and outputs

This section shows the types and number of video connectors on each GPU. The data applies specifically to desktop reference models (for example, NVIDIA’s Founders Edition). OEM partners often modify both the number and types of ports. On notebook GPUs, video‐output options are determined by the laptop’s design rather than the graphics chip itself.

Display Connectors

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.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	0.23	50.45
Recency	3 June 2008	23 November 2021
Chip lithography	65 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	20 Watt	200 Watt

ION LE has 900% lower power consumption.

RTX A4500, on the other hand, has a 21835% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 13 years, and a 713% more advanced lithography process.

The RTX A4500 is our recommended choice as it beats the ION LE in performance tests.

Be aware that ION LE is a notebook graphics card while RTX A4500 is a workstation one.
