Detailed specifications

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	6	32
Core clock speed	650 MHz	8 MHz
Boost clock speed	1150 MHz	575 MHz
Number of transistors	392 million	278 million
Manufacturing process technology	22 nm	90 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	unknown	45 Watt
Texture fill rate	6.900	13.80
Floating-point performance	13.8 gflops	no data

Form factor & compatibility

Information on HD Graphics 2500 and GeForce Go 7950 GTX compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.

Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

Display Connectors
