NVIDIA Switch GPU: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

NVIDIA started Switch GPU sales 17 March 2017. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Maxwell 2.0 architecture and made with 20 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 4 GB of DDR4 memory clocked at 3.2 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is an integrated video card. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 15 Watt.

We have no data on Switch GPU benchmark results.
