Size and compatibility

This section provides details about the physical dimensions of Tegra 3 GPU and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).

Interface	IGP
Width	IGP

Memory

Parameters of memory installed on Tegra 3 GPU: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.

Memory type	System Shared
Maximum RAM amount	System Shared	of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X)
Memory bus width	System Shared	of 19000 (GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB)
Memory clock speed	System Shared	of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER)

Video outputs and ports

Types and number of video connectors present on Tegra 3 GPU. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.

Display Connectors

No outputs
