Performance
GPU clock speed
1506MHz
1320MHz
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
GPU turbo
1708MHz
1780MHz
When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
pixel rate
85.68 GPixel/s
113.7 GPixel/s
The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
floating-point performance
5.03 TFLOPS
12.74 TFLOPS
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
texture rate
157.1 GTexels/s
199 GTexels/s
The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
GPU memory speed
2001MHz
1875MHz
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
shading units
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.
texture mapping units (TMUs)
TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.
render output units (ROPs)
The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.
Memory
effective memory speed
8004MHz
15000MHz
The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.
maximum memory bandwidth
192GB/s
360GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.
GDDR version
Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.
