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.

Not available

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. AMD's boost clock is a maximum burst clock. NVIDIA's is its rated boost clock. Compare within one chip maker only. When the card ships in its OC BIOS position, as the PowerColor Hellhound does, that BIOS clock is stored here and the OC mode field stays empty. The other BIOS clock goes in the source note.

Upscaling technologiesiThe maker's upscaling names with version, e.g. "DLSS 4", "FSR 4", "XeSS 2". Game support varies.

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.

Dimensions and weight

5 of 8 differ

LengthiCard length along the PCIe connector, from the bracket to the far end. Makers write it as L. Makers write L x W x H. W is the card height and H is the thickness. NVIDIA calls the height Width. 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.

191mm3Retailer pageshop.screwlooseit.com.au/product/gigabyte-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3050-windforce-oc-v2-6g-1477-mhz-cuda-2304-14000-mhz-gddr6-96-bit-pci-e-4-0-psu-300w-dp1-4a2-hdmi-2-12Read 15 October 2026Card size L=191 W=111 H=36 mm. GIGABYTE writes W as the card height and H as the thickness. The listing does not say whether the bracket is included.

A retailer copy of the MSI page labels it L x W x H, with W the card height and H the thickness. The datasheet does not say whether the bracket is included.

HeightiFrom the PCIe connector edge to the top of the card. The source note says when the bracket or the power plug is included. Makers write L x W x H. W is the card height and H is the thickness. NVIDIA calls the height Width. 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.

ThicknessiFrom the bracket face to the back of the cooler. Makers often write it as H. Makers write L x W x H. W is the card height and H is the thickness. NVIDIA calls the height Width. 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.

Low profileiThe maker states the card fits low-profile slots, usually with a half-height bracket in the box. False when a data sheet says full-height bracket (FH/FL or FH/HL). Left out otherwise.

No6Retailer pageshop.sumillion.com/pc-components/graphics-cards/msi-geforce-rtx-5060-8g-shadow-2x-oc-nvidia-8-gb-gddr7-g5060-8s2c.htmlRead 14 October 2026Form factor row: Full-Height/Half-Length (FH/HL), so the card has a full-height bracket.

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.

Amazon UK gives 399 g for the same model number. Other listings give about 640 to 680 g, which look like shipping weights with the box. A 399 g box would be too light, so 399 g is read as the card.

Package weightiOne retail box with its contents. A weight rounded to whole kilograms in a retail or distributor feed is not stored. A feed weight that does not say whether it is the card or the package is not stored. A feed's gross weight is the package weight, and the same rounding rule applies.
