Under the shell, the GM204 graphics circuit with 1,664 CUDA cores at 1,140 and 1,279 MHz at base respective boost. This includes a 256-bit memory bus with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory at 7,010 MHz.

The parade number for the graphics card is the closed water cooling system, where a block is connected to a 120 mm radiator and fan that is regulated automatically according to the card’s heat development. The whole is assisted by a radial fan, which is there to cool other heat-generating components such as voltage parts.
