Compare rows with the same precision and sparsity only. NVIDIA: store the headline rows (FP8 and FP16 with FP16 accumulate, FP4 as listed) and name the accumulate precision in the source note. When a maker does not say whether a figure uses sparsity, leave the sparse key out of that row. The chip maker's figures are stored, the same in every card with that GPU. A card maker's higher figure for its own clocks, such as an OC mode, goes in the source note.

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.

It is the reference base clock of the card at reference clocks. NVIDIA writes 2.01 GHz.

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.

Boost clockiRated boost clock of this card out of the box, e.g. ASUS "Default mode" or MSI "Boost". Not a measured clock, the OC mode clock or another card's rating.

Upscaling technologiesiThe maker's upscaling names with version, e.g. "DLSS 4", "FSR 4", "XeSS 2". Game support varies. A bundle name such as FSR Redstone is not an upscaler name, so its upscaler is written with its version, such as FSR 4. When the card maker and the chip maker write different versions, the chip maker's spec table wins. When the chip maker names no version, as NVIDIA writes DLSS for RTX 30 cards, the name is stored without one.

Power

1 of 4 differ

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.

600W9Reviewcomputerbase.de/artikel/grafikkarten/asus-rog-geforce-rtx-5090-astral-test.91096Read 16 October 2026Spec table: standard TDP 600 W. The text says 600 W is the factory limit and the maximum, and it can be lowered by 33 percent to 400 W. ASUS states no board power, so this is the reviewer's reading. The reviewer names no tool.

PSU wattage (card maker)iThe PSU wattage the card maker lists for a full system with this card, whether it calls it Recommended, Minimum or Required. NVIDIA calls it Required System Power, AMD Minimum PSU Recommendation. When a maker lists both a recommendation and a lower minimum, store the recommendation and note the minimum. Makers differ for the same GPU, so compare cards of one maker only.

Power connectoriSupplementary power inputs on the card. 16-pin with no revision means the maker does not say 12V-2x6 or 12VHPWR. Use 12V-2x6 or 12VHPWR only when the card maker's page or manual names it. Do not infer it from the GPU generation or from a reviewer's or retailer's wording.

ASUS names no 12V-2x6 revision on the spec page, so the 16-pin option is used. The feature text calls the cable 12VHPWR, while ComputerBase writes 12V-2x6.

16-pin (revision not stated)1Maker product pagegainward.com/main/vgapro.phpRead 15 October 2026Power Connector: 16-pin x1. The page does not name 12V-2x6 or 12VHPWR. The datasheet's system requirements line says '16-pin PCIe 12VHPWR or four 8-pin', which is a power supply requirement and not a name for the card input, so the plain 16-pin option is stored.

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.

WeightiThe card alone, without support bracket, adapter or packaging. A liquid-cooled card includes its attached radiator and tubes. 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.
