General info
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
2.number of transistors
5700 million
A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
5.Is dual-GPU
Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB
The graphics card contains two graphics processing units (GPUs). This generally results in better performance than a similar, single-GPU graphics card.
6.Has air-water cooling
Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB
The graphics card uses a combination of water and air to reduce the temperature of the card. This allows it to be overclocked more, increasing performance.
Performance
1.GPU clock speed
1257MHz
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
2.pixel rate
42.88 GPixel/s
The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
3.floating-point performance
6.17 TFLOPS
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
4.GPU memory speed
2000MHz
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
5.texture rate
193 GTexels/s
The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
6.shading units
2304
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.
Memory
1.effective memory speed
8000MHz
The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.
2.maximum memory bandwidth
256GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
3.RAM
8GB
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of volatile memory used to store working data and machine code currently in use. It is a quick-access, temporary virtual storage that can be read and changed in any order, thus enabling fast data processing.
4.memory bus width
256bit
A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.
Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.
6.Supports ECC memory
Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.
Ports
1.has an HDMI output
Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB
Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.
Newer versions of HDMI support higher bandwidth, which allows for higher resolutions and frame rates.
Allows you to connect to a display using DisplayPort.
More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.
Allows you to connect to a display using DVI.
Allows you to connect to a display using mini-DisplayPort.
Features
DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
4.Supports multi-display technology
Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB
The graphics card supports multi-display technology. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view.
5.Supports 3D
Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB
Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).
The number of GPUs supported when using a multi-GPU configuration. Using more than one GPU in parallel can give increased performance.
