The novelty is based on the NVIDIA GP108-300 graphics engine supporting 384 CUDA cores, 24 TMUs and 16 ROPs. In the meantime, its clock frequencies are lower than benchmark rates in the Gaming mode (1,151/1,379 MHz), and in the OC Mode the figures are 1,177/1,417 MHz. Note, that regular frequencies are 1,227/1,468 MHz.

 

The memory subsystem is distinguished due to the usage of DDR4 microchips instead of standard GDDR5. Total capacity (2 GB) and width of a bus (64 bit) are left without modifications, the frequency claimed, however, is 2,100 MHz. The reference version video memory features the 6,008 MHz effective velocity.
