Value for money

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

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	3840	32
Core clock speed	1506 MHz	450 MHz
Boost clock speed	1645 MHz	no data
Number of transistors	11,800 million	314 million
Manufacturing process technology	16 nm	55 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	250 Watt	40 Watt
Texture fill rate	394.8	7.200
Floating-point performance	12,634 gflops	72 gflops

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 2.0 x16
Length	267 mm	198 mm
Width	2" (5.1 cm)	1-slot
Supplementary power connectors	1 x 8-pin	None
SLI options	+	no data

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	384 Bit	GDDR3
Maximum RAM amount	24 GB	512 MB
Memory bus width	384 Bit	128 Bit
Memory clock speed	9016 MHz	1600 MHz
Memory bandwidth	Up to 432 GB/s	25.6 GB/s

Video outputs and ports

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.

Display Connectors	DVI-D DP DP DP DP 3-pin Stereo	1x DVI, 2x DisplayPort
Number of simultaneous displays	4	no data
Multi-display synchronization	Quadro Sync II	no data
