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

4 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.

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. AMD's boost clock is a maximum burst clock. NVIDIA's is its rated boost clock. Compare within one chip maker only.

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 chip maker names no version, as NVIDIA writes DLSS for RTX 30 cards, the name is stored without one.

Power

4 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.

Measured noise and temperature

5 of 5 differ

Fan noise per loadiSound pressure a reviewer measured from the card. Profile is the BIOS mode or fan profile as the reviewer names it. Fixed fan-speed tests are not a load. 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.
