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	2304	3584
Core clock speed	1005 MHz	1190 MHz
Boost clock speed	1545 MHz	1329 MHz
Number of transistors	13,600 million	15,300 million
Manufacturing process technology	12 nm	16 nm
Thermal design power (TDP)	160 Watt	250 Watt
Texture fill rate	222.5	297.7
Floating-point performance	no data	10,609 gflops

Dimensions and compatibility

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

Interface	PCIe 3.0 x16	PCIe 3.0 x16
Length	241 mm	267 mm
Width	1-slot	2-slot
Supplementary power connectors	1x 8-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	GDDR6	HBM2
Maximum RAM amount	8 GB	12 GB
Memory bus width	256 Bit	3072 Bit
Memory clock speed	13000 MHz	1430 MHz
Memory bandwidth	416.0 GB/s	549.1 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

3x DisplayPort, 1x USB Type-C

No outputs
