Cost-effectiveness evaluation
Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.
Detailed specifications
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.

Form factor & 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 2.0 x16 | PCIe 5.0 x16 |
| Length | 267 mm | no data |
| Width | 2-slot | OAM Module |
| Supplementary power connectors | 1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin | None |
VRAM capacity and type
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 | DDR5 | HBM3 |
| Maximum RAM amount | 2 GB | 192 GB |
| Memory bus width | 256 Bit | 8192 Bit |
| Memory clock speed | 2750 MHz | 5 GB/s |
| Memory bandwidth | 176.0 GB/s | 5,171 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.
| Display Connectors | 2x DVI, 1x HDMI, 2x mini-DisplayPort | No outputs |
| HDMI | + | no data |
API compatibility
List of supported graphics and general-purpose computing APIs, including their specific versions.

Pros & cons summary
| Recency | 14 December 2010 | 6 December 2023 |
| Maximum RAM amount | 2 GB | 192 GB |
| Chip lithography | 40 nm | 5 nm |
| Power consumption (TDP) | 250 Watt | 750 Watt |
HD 6970 has 200% lower power consumption.
Instinct MI300X, on the other hand, has an age advantage of 12 years, a 9500% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 700% more advanced lithography process.
We couldn't decide between Radeon HD 6970 and Radeon Instinct MI300X. We've got no test results to judge.
Should you still have questions concerning choice between the reviewed GPUs, ask them in Comments section, and we shall answer.
