The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
GPU turbo
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R9 290X)
1770MHz
When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
pixel rate
35.2 GPixel/s
84.
96 GPixel/s
The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
floating-point performance
4.51 TFLOPS
5.44 TFLOPS
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.

The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
GPU memory speed
1250MHz
1500MHz
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
5000MHz
12000MHz
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
320GB/s
288GB/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.

Performance
GPU clock speed
1000MHz
1506MHz
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
Turbo GPU
Unknown. Help us offer a price. (AMD Radeon R9 290X)
1708MHz
When the GPU is running below its limits, it can jump to a higher clock speed to increase performance.
pixel rate
35.2 GPixel/s
85.68 GPixel/s
The number of pixels that can be displayed on the screen every second.
FLOPS
4.
51 TFLOPS
5.03 TFLOPS
FLOPS is a measure of GPU processing power.
texture size
141 GTexels/s
157.1 GTexels/s
The number of textured pixels that can be displayed on the screen every second.
GPU memory speed
1250MHz
2001MHz
Memory speed is one aspect that determines memory bandwidth.
Shading patterns
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors in a graphics card that are responsible for processing various aspects of an image.
texture units (TMUs)
TMUs take texture units and map them to the geometric layout of the 3D scene. More TMUs generally means texture information is processed faster.
ROPs
ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, such as writing the final pixel data to memory and for performing other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the appearance of graphics.
Memory
effective memory speed
5000MHz
8004MHz
The effective memory clock is calculated from the size and data transfer rate of the memory.
A higher clock speed can give better performance in games and other applications.
maximum memory bandwidth
320GB/s
192GB/s
This is the maximum rate at which data can be read from or stored in memory.
VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of the graphics card. More VRAM usually allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.
versions of GDDR memory
Later versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher data transfer rates, which improve performance.
memory bus width
512bit
192bit
Wider memory bus — this means it can carry more data per cycle. This is an important factor in memory performance, and therefore the overall performance of the graphics card.
Supports memory troubleshooting code
✖AMD Radeon R9 290X
✖Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660
Memory troubleshooting code can detect and fix data corruption. It is used when necessary to avoid distortion, such as in scientific computing or when starting a server.
Features
DirectX version
DirectX is used in games with a new version that supports better graphics.
OpenGL version
The newer version of OpenGL, the better graphics quality in games.
version of OpenCL
Some applications use OpenCL to use the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions are more functional and better quality.
Supports multi-monitor technology
✔AMD Radeon R9 290X
✔Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660
The video card has the ability to connect multiple displays. This allows you to set up multiple monitors at the same time to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as a wider field of view.
GPU temperature at boot
Lower boot temperature means the card generates less heat and the cooling system works better.
supports ray tracing
✖AMD Radeon R9 290X
✖Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660
Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows and reflections in games.
Supports 3D
✔AMD Radeon R9 290X
✔Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660
Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D screen and glasses).
supports DLSS
✖AMD Radeon R9 290X
✖Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an AI based scaling technology. This allows the graphics card to render games at lower resolutions and upscale them to higher resolutions with near-native visual quality and improved performance. DLSS is only available in some games.
AMD SAM / Intel Resizable BAR

Unknown. Help us offer a price. (Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660)
AMD Smart Access Memory (SAM) and Intel Resizable BAR are two technologies that allow the processor to have faster access to the graphics card, which can improve performance. This requires a compatible motherboard, graphics card, and processor.
Ports
has HDMI output
✔AMD Radeon R9 290X
✔Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660
Devices with HDMI or mini HDMI ports can stream HD video and audio to the connected display.
HDMI connectors
Unknown. Help us offer a price. (AMD Radeon R9 290X)
More HDMI connectors allow you to connect multiple devices such as game consoles and TVs at the same time.
HDMI version
Unknown. Help us offer a price. (AMD Radeon R9 290X)
HDMI 2.0
New versions of HDMI support higher bandwidth, resulting in higher resolutions and frame rates.
DisplayPort outputs
Allows connection to a display using DisplayPort.
USB-C ports
Unknown. Help us offer a price. (AMD Radeon R9 290X)
Unknown. Help us offer a price. (Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660)
With more USB-C ports, you can connect more devices/peripherals.
DVI outputs
Allows connection to a display using DVI.
mini DisplayPort outputs
Allows connection to a display using mini DisplayPort.
