Value for money

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

Pro Vega II and Pro W6600 have a nearly equal value for money.

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	4096	1792
Core clock speed	1574 MHz	no data
Boost clock speed	1720 MHz	2903 MHz
Number of transistors	13,230 million	11,060 million
Manufacturing process technology	7 nm	7 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	475 Watt	100 Watt
Texture fill rate	440.3	325.1

Size and 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 3.0 x16	PCIe 4.0 x16
Length	no data	241 mm
Width	Quad-slot	1-slot
Supplementary power connectors	None	1x 6-pin

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	HBM2	GDDR6
Maximum RAM amount	32 GB	8 GB
Memory bus width	4096 Bit	128 Bit
Memory clock speed	1612 MHz	14 GB/s
Memory bandwidth	825.3 GB/s	224.0 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	1x HDMI, 4x USB Type-C	4x DisplayPort
HDMI	+	no data

Combined synthetic benchmark score

This is our combined benchmark performance score. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.

Pro Vega II 39.95

Pro W6600 40.95
+2.5%

Pro W6600 outperforms Pro Vega II by 3% based on our aggregated benchmark results.

Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
