List of Nvidia graphics processing units

Field explanations

• Model – The marketing name for the processor, assigned by Nvidia.
• Launch – Date of release for the processor.
• Code name – The internal engineering codename for the processor.
• Fab – Fabrication process. Average feature size of components of the processor.
• Bus interface – Bus by which the graphics processor is attached to the system.
• Memory – The amount of graphics memory available to the processor.
• SM Count – Number of streaming multiprocessors.
• Core clock – The factory core clock frequency; while some manufacturers adjust clocks lower and higher, this number will always be the reference clocks used by Nvidia.
• Memory clock – The factory effective memory clock frequency. All DDR/GDDR memories operate at half this frequency, except for GDDR5, which operates at one quarter of this frequency.
• Core config – The layout of the graphics pipeline, in terms of functional units. Over time the number, type, and variety of functional units in the GPU core has changed significantly; before each section in the list there is an explanation as to what functional units are present in each generation of processors. In later models, shaders are integrated into a unified shader architecture, where any one shader can perform any of the functions listed.
• Fillrate – Maximum theoretical fill rate in textured pixels per second. This number is generally used as a maximum throughput number for the GPU and generally, a higher fill rate corresponds to a more powerful GPU.
• Memory subsection
• *Bandwidth – Maximum theoretical bandwidth for the processor at factory clock with factory bus width. GHz = 10 Hz.
• * Bus type – Type of memory bus or buses used.
• * Bus width – Maximum bit width of the memory bus or buses used. This will always be a factory bus width.
• API support section
• *Direct3D – Maximum version of Direct3D fully supported.
• * OpenGL – Maximum version of OpenGL fully supported.
• *OpenCL – Maximum version of OpenCL fully supported.
• *Vulkan – Maximum version of Vulkan fully supported.
• *CUDA - Maximum version of Cuda fully supported.
• Features – Added features that are not standard as a part of the two graphics libraries.
