Size and compatibility

Information on Quadro 500M and Radeon Pro Vega 64X compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. 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	MXM-A (3.0)	PCIe 3.0 x16
Supplementary power connectors	no data	None

Memory

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	DDR3	HBM2
Maximum RAM amount	1 GB	16 GB
Memory bus width	128 Bit	2048 Bit
Memory clock speed	1800 MHz	2000 MHz
