Key Differences

  • No game was measured on every one of these cards on one shared test system, so there is no speed comparison to make.
  • Vanta has the most memory: 8 MB or 16 MB typical, with some related boards at 32 MB against 8 MB.
  • Vanta has the most memory bandwidth: About 0.88 to 1.0 GB/s depending on variant and clock against 0.8 GB/s.

Frame rates compare runs of the same game at the same quality preset on one test system. DLAA counts as native resolution, because it applies anti-aliasing at full render resolution rather than upscaling; DLSS and FSR upscaling are never counted as native. Where a capture named ray tracing without a readable on or off value, it is read as on.
