Value for money

To calculate the index we compare the characteristics of graphics cards against their prices.

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.

Pipelines / CUDA cores 2304 10496
Core clock speed 1100 MHz 1400 MHz
Boost clock speed 1200 MHz 1700 MHz
Number of transistors 5,700 million 28,300 million
Manufacturing process technology 14 nm 8 nm
Thermal design power (TDP) 150 Watt 350 Watt
Texture fill rate 172.8 556.0

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).

Length no data 313 mm
Width IGP 3-slot
Supplementary power connectors None 1x 12-pin

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 GDDR5 GDDR6X
Maximum RAM amount 8 GB 24 GB
Memory bus width 256 Bit 384 Bit
Memory clock speed 6780 MHz 19500 MHz

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 No outputs 1x HDMI, 3x DisplayPort
HDMI no data +

API support

APIs supported, including particular versions of those APIs.

DirectX 12 (12_0) 12 Ultimate (12_2)
Shader Model 6.4 6.5
OpenGL 4.6 4.6
OpenCL 2.0 2.0
Vulkan 1.2.131 1.2

Benchmark performance

Non-gaming benchmark performance comparison. Note that overall benchmark performance is measured in points in 0-100 range.


Overall score

This is our combined benchmark performance rating. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.

  • Passmark
  • GeekBench 5 OpenCL
  • GeekBench 5 Vulkan

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.

Benchmark coverage: 26%

Geekbench 5 is a widespread graphics card benchmark combined from 11 different test scenarios. All these scenarios rely on direct usage of GPU's processing power, no 3D rendering is involved. This variation uses OpenCL API by Khronos Group.

Benchmark coverage: 9%

Geekbench 5 is a widespread graphics card benchmark combined from 11 different test scenarios. All these scenarios rely on direct usage of GPU's processing power, no 3D rendering is involved. This variation uses Vulkan API by AMD & Khronos Group.
