Memory

A large graphics memory is important to process large and detailed textures quickly, even in high resolutions. The speed of the memory and the resulting memory bandwidth are also important for this.

Clock Speeds

The clock frequency of a graphics card determines the speed in connection with the graphics architecture. New manufacturing processes are making ever higher clock frequencies possible, whereby attention must also be paid to the energy consumption of the graphics card, as this also depends to a large extent on the clock frequency.

Thermal Design

The TDP defines the maximum power consumption of a graphics card. The ventilation of the computer and the performance of the power supply are based on the TDP and should be optimized for it.

Cooler & Fans

The cooler type as well as the number and size of the fans of a graphics card result in its volume. A loud graphics card can easily be perceived as annoying. Generally, larger fans are better because they can spin slower to move the same volume of air as opposed to smaller fans.

Benchmark results

FP32 Performance (Single-precision TFLOPS) - FP32 (TFLOPS)

The theoretical computing power of the graphics card with single precision (32 bit) in TFLOPS. TFLOPS indicates how many trillion FP32 floating point operations the graphics card (GPU) can perform per second. The larger this number, the faster the graphics card is.
