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.

Core clock speed	1030 MHz	275 MHz
Number of transistors	690 million	36 million
Manufacturing process technology	28 nm	150 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	50 Watt	28 Watt
Texture fill rate	20.60	1.100
Floating-point performance	659.2 gflops	no data

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 x8	AGP 4x
Width	1-slot	1-slot
Supplementary power connectors	None	None

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	DDR3	DDR
Maximum RAM amount	2 GB	64 MB
Memory bus width	64 Bit	128 Bit
Memory clock speed	2000 MHz	550 MHz
Memory bandwidth	16 GB/s	8.8 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 DVI, 1x HDMI, 1x VGA	2x DVI
HDMI	+	no data

API support

List of supported graphics and general-purpose computing APIs, including their specific versions.

DirectX	12 (11_1)	8.1
Shader Model	5.1	no data
OpenGL	4.6	1.4
OpenCL	1.2	N/A
Vulkan	1.2.131	N/A
