Maximum RAM amount	2 GB	768 MB
Memory bus width	128 Bit	192 Bit
Memory clock speed	4000 MHz	1600 MHz
Memory bandwidth	64 GB/s	38.4 GB/s

Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.
