Form factor & compatibility
Information on RTX A500 Mobile's 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.
| Interface | PCIe 4.0 x16 |
VRAM capacity and type
Parameters of memory installed on RTX A500 Mobile: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | GDDR6 | |
| Maximum RAM amount | 4 GB | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
| Memory bus width | 64 Bit | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory clock speed | 14000 MHz | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
| Memory bandwidth | 96 GB/s | of 3276 (Aldebaran) |
| Shared memory | - |
Connectivity and outputs
Types and number of video connectors present on RTX A500 Mobile. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.
| Display Connectors | No outputs |

3DMark 11 Performance GPU
3DMark 11 is an obsolete DirectX 11 benchmark by Futuremark. It used four tests based on two scenes, one being few submarines exploring the submerged wreck of a sunken ship, the other is an abandoned temple deep in the jungle. All the tests are heavy with volumetric lighting and tessellation, and despite being done in 1280x720 resolution, are relatively taxing. Discontinued in January 2020, 3DMark 11 is now superseded by Time Spy.
