Technical specs

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	5120	4608
Core clock speed	1132 MHz	1440 MHz
Boost clock speed	1627 MHz	1770 MHz
Number of transistors	21,100 million	18,600 million
Manufacturing process technology	12 nm	12 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	250 Watt	260 Watt
Texture fill rate	520.6	509.8
Floating-point performance	14,817 gflops	no data

Size and compatibility

Information on compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility).

Interface	PCIe 3.0 x16	PCIe 3.0 x16
Length	267 mm	267 mm
Width	2-slot	2-slot
Supplementary power connectors	1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin	1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin

Memory

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

Memory type	HBM2	GDDR6
Maximum RAM amount	32 GB	24 GB
Memory bus width	4096 Bit	384 Bit
Memory clock speed	1696 MHz	14000 MHz
