Performance

1.GPU clock speed

980MHz

1203MHz

The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.

2.GPU turbo

1032MHz

1405MHz

When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.

3.pixel rate

19.6 GPixel/s

38.5 GPixel/s

The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

4.floating-point performance

1.88 TFLOPS

1.85 TFLOPS

Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.

5.texture rate

78.4 GTexels/s

57.7 GTexels/s

The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

6.GPU memory speed

1502MHz

1755MHz

The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.

7.shading units

Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.

8.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.

9.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

1.effective memory speed

6008MHz

7020MHz

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.

2.maximum memory bandwidth

144GB/s

112.3GB/s

This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.

3.VRAM

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.

4.memory bus width

192bit

128bit

A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.

5.version of GDDR memory

Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.

6.Supports ECC memory

✖Nvidia GeForce GTX 660

✖Zotac GeForce GTX 950 AMP!

Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.

Features

1.DirectX version

DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

2.OpenGL version

OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

3.OpenCL version

Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.

4.Supports multi-display technology

✔Nvidia GeForce GTX 660

✔Zotac GeForce GTX 950 AMP!

The graphics card supports multi-display technology. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view.

5.load GPU temperature

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Zotac GeForce GTX 950 AMP!)

A lower load temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better.

6.supports ray tracing

✖Nvidia GeForce GTX 660

✖Zotac GeForce GTX 950 AMP!

Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.

7.Supports 3D

✔Nvidia GeForce GTX 660

✔Zotac GeForce GTX 950 AMP!

Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).

8.supports DLSS

✖Nvidia GeForce GTX 660

✖Zotac GeForce GTX 950 AMP!

DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an upscaling technology powered by AI. It allows the graphics card to render games at a lower resolution and upscale them to a higher resolution with near-native visual quality and increased performance. DLSS is only available on select games.

9.PassMark (G3D) result

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Zotac GeForce GTX 950 AMP!)

This benchmark measures the graphics performance of a video card. Source: PassMark.

Ports

1.has an HDMI output

✔Nvidia GeForce GTX 660

✔Zotac GeForce GTX 950 AMP!

Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.

2.HDMI ports

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Nvidia GeForce GTX 660)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Zotac GeForce GTX 950 AMP!)

More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.

3. HDMI version

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Nvidia GeForce GTX 660)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Zotac GeForce GTX 950 AMP!)

Newer versions of HDMI support higher bandwidth, which allows for higher resolutions and frame rates.

Performance

1. GPU clock speed

1026MHz

980MHz

The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.

2.turbo GPU

1190MHz

1046MHz

When the GPU is running below its limits, it can jump to a higher clock speed to increase performance.

3.pixel speed

32.8 GPixel/s

19.6 GPixel/s

The number of pixels that can be displayed on the screen every second.

4.flops

1.58 TFLOPS

1.88 TFLOPS

FLOPS is a measure of GPU processing power.

5.texture size

49.2 GTexels/s

78.4 GTexels/s

Number of textured pixels that can be displayed on the screen every second.

6.GPU memory speed

1653MHz

1502MHz

Memory speed is one aspect that determines memory bandwidth.

7. shading patterns

Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors in a video card that are responsible for processing various aspects of an image.

8.textured units (TMUs)

TMUs accept textured units and bind them to the geometric layout of the 3D scene. More TMUs generally means texture information is processed faster.

9 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

1.memory effective speed

6612MHz

6008MHz

The effective memory clock frequency 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.

2. max memory bandwidth

105.8GB/s

144GB/s

This is the maximum rate at which data can be read from or stored in memory.

3.VRAM

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.

4.memory bus width

128bit

192bit

Wider memory bus 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.

5. GDDR memory versions

Later versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher data transfer rates, which improve performance.

6. Supports memory troubleshooting code

✖Asus GeForce GTX 950

✖Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 WindForce 2X

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.

Functions

1.DirectX version

DirectX is used in games with a new version that supports better graphics.

2nd version of OpenGL

The newer version of OpenGL, the better graphics quality in games.

OpenCL version 3.

4. Supports multi-monitor technology

✔Asus GeForce GTX 950

✔Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 WindForce 2X

The video card has the ability to connect multiple screens. 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.

5. GPU temperature at boot

Unknown. Help us offer a price. (Asus GeForce GTX 950)

Lower boot temperature means the card generates less heat and the cooling system works better.

6.supports ray tracing

✖Asus GeForce GTX 950

✖Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 WindForce 2X

Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows and reflections in games.

7.Supports 3D

✖Asus GeForce GTX 950

✔Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 WindForce 2X

Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D screen and glasses).

8.supports DLSS

✖Asus GeForce GTX 950

✖Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 WindForce 2X

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.
