Size and compatibility
Information on Radeon 740M's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
| Interface | PCIe 4.0 x8 | |
| Supplementary power connectors | None |
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on Radeon 740M: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | System Shared | |
| Maximum RAM amount | System Shared | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
| Memory bus width | System Shared | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory clock speed | System Shared | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
| Shared memory | + |
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on Radeon 740M. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.
| Display Connectors | Portable Device Dependent |
API support
APIs supported by Radeon 740M, sometimes including their particular versions.
| DirectX | 12 Ultimate (12_2) | |
| Shader Model | 6.7 | |
