Core clock speed	1680 MHz	no data
Boost clock speed	1980 MHz	1200 MHz
Number of transistors	10,300 million	13,250 million
Manufacturing process technology	7 nm	8 nm
Thermal design power (TDP)	225 Watt	70 Watt
Texture fill rate	316.8	124.8

Compatibility, dimensions and requirements

Information on 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).

Interface	PCIe 4.0 x16	PCIe 4.0 x16
Length	no data	167 mm
Width	2-slot	2-slot
Supplementary power connectors	1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin	None

Memory

Parameters of memory installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated VRAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	GDDR6	GDDR6
Maximum RAM amount	8 GB	6 GB
Memory bus width	256 Bit	192 Bit
Memory clock speed	14000 MHz	12 GB/s
Memory bandwidth	448.0 GB/s	288.0 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, 3x DisplayPort	4x mini-DisplayPort
HDMI	+	no data

API support

APIs supported, including particular versions of those APIs.

DirectX	12 (12_1)	12 Ultimate (12_2)
Shader Model	6.5	6.6
OpenGL	4.6	4.6
OpenCL	2.0	3.0
Vulkan	1.2.131	1.2
CUDA	no data	8.6
