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 | 600 MHz | no data |
| Number of transistors | 107 million | 18,600 million |
| Manufacturing process technology | 90 nm | 12 nm |
| Thermal design power (TDP) | 27 Watt | no data |
| Texture fill rate | 2.400 | 509.8 |
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 1.0 x16 | PCIe 3.0 x16 |
| Length | no data | 267 mm |
| Width | 1-slot | no data |
| Supplementary power connectors | None | no data |
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 | DDR2 | no data |
| Maximum RAM amount | 256 MB | no data |
| Memory bus width | 128 Bit | no data |
| Memory clock speed | 800 MBps | no data |
| Memory bandwidth | 12.8 GB/s | no data |
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 VGA, 1x S-Video | no data |
API support
APIs supported, including particular versions of those APIs.
| DirectX | 9.0c (9_3) | no data |
| Shader Model | 3.0 | 6.5 |
| OpenGL | 2.1 | no data |
| OpenCL | N/A | no data |
| Vulkan | N/A | 1.2.131 |
| CUDA | no data | 7.5 |
Benchmark performance
Non-gaming benchmark performance comparison. Note that overall benchmark performance is measured in points in 0-100 range.
- Passmark
This is probably the most ubiquitous benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various 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.
