Nvidia Quadro GV100 review: specs and price

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.

Best

A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.

Best

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. Show more

Best

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.

Best

Best

The graphics card contains two graphics processing units (GPUs). This generally results in better performance than a similar, single-GPU graphics card.

For example

The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

Best

Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.

Best

The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed. Show more

Best

The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

Best

The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.

Best

TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.

Best

This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.

Best

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.

Best

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.

Best

Best

Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.

For example

Allows you to connect to a display using DisplayPort.

Best

Allows you to connect to a display using mini-DisplayPort.

Best

OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

Best

DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

Best

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.

Best

Allows you to view in ultra-high definition.

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.

Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).
