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	GDDR5	DDR2
Maximum RAM amount	4 GB ×2	256 MB
Memory bus width	512 Bit ×2	64 Bit
Memory clock speed	1350 MHz	1000 MBps
Memory bandwidth	345.6 GB/s ×2	8 GB/s

Connectivity and outputs

This section shows the types and number of video connectors on each GPU. The data applies specifically to desktop reference models (for example, NVIDIA’s Founders Edition). OEM partners often modify both the number and types of ports. On notebook GPUs, video‐output options are determined by the laptop’s design rather than the graphics chip itself.

Display Connectors	2x DVI, 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort	4x mini-DisplayPort
HDMI	+	-
