Core clock speed	730 MHz	450 MHz
Boost clock speed	780 MHz	no data
Number of transistors	950 million	278 million
Manufacturing process technology	28 nm	90 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	50 Watt	35 Watt
Texture fill rate	18.72	10.80
Floating-point performance	499.2 gflops	no data

Form factor & compatibility

Information on Radeon R5 240 OEM and Quadro NVS 510M 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 3.0 x8	PCIe 1.0 x16
Length	168 mm	no data
Width	1-slot	no data
Supplementary power connectors	None	no data

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	DDR3	GDDR3
Maximum RAM amount	2 GB	256 MB
Memory bus width	64 Bit	128 Bit
Memory clock speed	1800 MHz	1200 MHz
