Size and compatibility
Information on Radeon HD 7490M and Graphics Pro Turbo 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). 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 2.0 x16 | PCI |
| Width | no data | 1-slot |
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 | GDDR5 | VRAM |
| Maximum RAM amount | 512 MB | 2 MB |
| Memory bus width | 64 Bit | 64 Bit |
| Memory clock speed | 3800 MHz | 40 MHz |
| Memory bandwidth | 30.4 GB/s | 320.0 MB/s |
