Width	2-slot	2-slot
Supplementary power connectors	1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin	no data

Memory

Parameters of memory installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated VRAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	GDDR6	no data
Maximum RAM amount	24 GB	no data
Memory bus width	384 Bit	no data
Memory clock speed	14000 MHz	no data
Memory bandwidth	672.0 GB/s	no data

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

4x DisplayPort, 1x USB Type-C

6x mini-DisplayPort

API support

APIs supported, including particular versions of those APIs.

DirectX	12 Ultimate (12_1)	no data
Shader Model	6.5	6.4
OpenGL	4.6	no data
OpenCL	2.0	no data
Vulkan	1.2.131	no data
CUDA	7.5	no data
