Performance and Architecture
Powered by 4,608 shader cores and a 2,572 MHz boost clock, the card delivers 23.7 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power. This gives you plenty of processing muscle for smooth frame rates in demanding modern games and fast rendering times in creative applications.
The last-level cache sits at 32 MB to help speed up data retrieval. You also get hardware encoding support for H.264, HEVC, and AV1 formats through its single encoder, making it a capable option for streaming your gameplay.
Memory and Bandwidth Limits
The system relies on 8 GB of GDDR7 memory running on a 128-bit bus width. Paired with a memory speed of 28 Gbps, it reaches a total memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s to keep data moving quickly.
Buyers should note the interface uses only 8 PCIe lanes. If you install the card on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 motherboard, it receives half or a quarter of the PCIe 5.0 bandwidth, which can hurt performance once the VRAM overflows.
Power and System Requirements
Drawing a board power of 180 W, the card requires a recommended PSU of 600 W to run reliably. Because NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card, exact power connectors vary by partner.
Most partner cards use a single 8-pin socket, while a few utilize a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead. Make sure your power supply has the right cable before you buy.
Display Connectivity
For monitors and displays, the card features one HDMI 2.1b port alongside three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs. The DisplayPort connections run at the full UHBR20 rate for high-refresh-rate panels.
You can drive up to 4 displays simultaneously from a single card. This gives you plenty of flexibility for multi-monitor desktop setups or sim racing rigs.
