  • Memory

    It refers to the type (e.g., GDDR6, GDDR6X) and size of the integrated memory (e.g., 4GB, 8GB, 12GB) of the graphics card. Greater capacity and newer memory types offer better performance in demanding games and applications.

  • OverClock (OC)

    Overclocking (OC) increases the frequencies of the core and the memory (VRAM) of the card for higher FPS and faster graphics processing. It is achieved by increasing the Power Limit and voltage, but requires strong cooling to prevent overheating.
  • Connectivity HDMI, DisplayPort

  • Cuda Cores

    CUDA Cores are processing units in NVIDIA graphics cards that allow the simultaneous execution of many computational tasks. They accelerate the process of graphics processing, as well as other demanding tasks such as machine learning and data processing.

  • Interface

    The version of the PCI Express connection used for installing the graphics card on the motherboard.

    The most widespread version is 4.0, while the latest generation cards use 5.0.

    PCI Express x16 3.0

    High-speed interface type for connecting the card to the computer's motherboard. It offers high performance in terms of resolution and frames per second. A motherboard with PCIe X16 3.0 and above is required to achieve maximum performance.

  • Memory bus

    The size of the communication channel between the chipset and the RAM of the graphics card. In combination with the processor's base clock speed, it determines the volume of data (which translates into graphics resolution and quality) that can be directed to the graphics card processor.
