Clocks

3 of 5 differ

Base clockiLowest rated clock under load that the card maker states for this card in MHz. NVIDIA's base clock in GHz is a chip value, and a figure such as 2.33 GHz gives no exact MHz value, so it is not converted. A row labelled only "Clock Speed" next to a boost clock row, as on PNY, is the base clock. On an NVIDIA card, a row labelled Graphics Clock next to a Boost Clock row, as on Palit, is the base clock too. A retail or distributor feed that repeats NVIDIA's reference base clock does not count. A card maker's own page that states the reference base clock for a card at reference clocks counts.

Not available

Not available

Game clockiAMD Game Clock or Intel Graphics Clock of this card. Both are a typical clock in games, below the peak boost. On an Intel card, a card maker figure labelled Graphics Clock or Engine Clock is this clock, also with "up to". A figure the card maker labels Boost Clock stays a boost clock.

Power

Board poweriDefault board power or power limit of this card. Use the card maker's figure first: NVIDIA Total Graphics Power, AMD Total or Typical Board Power, Intel TBP. A row on the card maker's own page counts under any label, such as Power Consumption or TDP. When the card maker states none, a reviewer's reading of the default power limit counts, and the source note names the reader and the tool. Retail feed fields such as "Power consumption (typical)" do not count. AMD's Typical Board Power and the power limit can differ. When both are known, store the default-mode power limit. The reference figure is not proof of a partner card's power. Other BIOS modes go in the source note. A reviewer who only relays a maker figure has not read the power limit.

Retail feeds relabel the sides as Height, Width or Depth, so decide by size: length is the longest side and thickness the shortest. When the maker lists sizes with and without the bracket, store the size with the bracket.

Slot widthiThickness in expansion-slot units as the card maker states it, e.g. 2.5 or 3.125. Not the number of slots the card covers in a case. Only a slot figure the card maker states. Do not compute it from the thickness. Retail feeds give different values for the same card. A slot figure in a row labelled Height, as on Palit, counts.

NVIDIA SFF-ReadyiThe card is on NVIDIA's SFF-Ready Enthusiast GeForce list. Only GeForce cards can qualify. For a GPU class the list covers, the list decides, and a card missing from it is false. Below the 70 class, which the list does not cover, the card maker's own SFF-Ready claim counts. A retail title does not.

A weight rounded to whole kilograms, as some retail and distributor feeds print it, is not stored. A colour edition can state its own weight, so it is per variant. A feed weight that does not say whether it is the card or the package is not stored.

Assassin's Creed Mirage and Forza Motorsport name their presets in the text. The text does not name presets for the other games. The Black Ops 6 text gives 72 fps native and 82 fps with DLSS Super Resolution, and 125 fps with DLSS Super Resolution plus Frame Generation, which is not stored. The review gives minimum fps and no 1 percent lows, so low_1pct_fps is empty. The chart alt text for Assassin's Creed Mirage carries the Forza label, so the text wins. Alan Wake 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 path tracing are not stored because the text gives no stable number.

Measured noise and temperature

Compare only at the same distance. A row needs a distance. Take it from the review or from the site's test-method page. Leave the row out when neither states it. A synthetic or render load, such as a 3DMark loop or FurMark, is max load. Sone values are not converted. When a review gives two distances for one test, the row is left out.
