What reviewers say

Reviewers found the original GDDR5 card suitable for entry-level 1080p gaming, but questioned its launch value beside the RX 570 and GTX 1660. PC Gamer and PC Perspective tested MSI Gaming X; Tom's Hardware tested Gigabyte Gaming OC. These overclocked boards require six-pin power and do not represent every slot-powered design or the later GDDR6 revision.

Memory detail
PNY publishes 8 Gbps and 128 GB/sec for GDDR5; its GDDR6 PDF gives 12 Gbps but labels its bandwidth figure as Gbps, so numeric GDDR6 bandwidth is omitted.

Connections and power

Board power
75 W
Interface
PCIe 3.0
Display outputs
PNY's pictured GDDR5 Single Fan specification lists DisplayPort 1.4 and DVI-D. Its GDDR6 Dual Fan PDF conflicts internally, listing HDMI 2.0b in the features and HDMI 2.1 in the table; check the selected board.
Maximum resolution
7680 × 4320 on PNY's specifications
Power connector
NVIDIA's current comparison table lists one 6-pin for both revisions; PNY's pictured stock GDDR5 card explicitly needs no auxiliary connector, while its GDDR6 Dual Fan needs one 6-pin.
Recommended power supply
NVIDIA specifies 300 W; requirements depend on the system and partner card
Slot width
PNY's pictured GDDR5 Single Fan and GDDR6 Dual Fan are dual-slot designs
Size (reference card)
No retail Founders Edition; pictured PNY GDDR5 Single Fan is 1.61 × 6.22 × 4.92 inches. PNY GDDR6 Dual Fan is 188.3 × 115.1 × 39.3 mm.
Video encode and decode
NVIDIA identifies the original encoder as Volta; GDDR6 cards can have Volta or Turing encoders depending on whether the GPU is TU117 or TU106/TU116. PNY specifies PCIe 3.0 x16 for both pictured/reference partner designs.
