HP NVIDIA RTX PH x2xxx 4mDP Graphics

CUDA (aka Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and programming model created by NVIDIA and implemented by the graphics processing units (GPUs) that they produce. CUDA gives program developers direct access to the virtual instruction set and memory of the parallel computational elements in CUDA GPUs.

The number of parallel processing cores available on the graphics processor to accelerate compute-intensive tasks (e.g. 10240).

The category to which the graphics processor (GPU) belongs e.g. Southern Islands family of Radeon processors (made by AMD), GeForce 600 (made by NVIDIA).

Also known as a graphics processing unit (GPU), this is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display. GPUs are used in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles. Modern GPUs are very efficient at manipulating computer graphics.

The clock rate is the fundamental rate in cycles per second (measured in hertz) at which a computer performs its most basic operations such as adding two numbers. There are more factors, like internal memory size, that influence a computer's actual response time.

The maximum frequency the processor can automatically reach to increase performance during demanding tasks, measured in MHz.

The maximum number of pixels that can be displayed in the image. It is usually quoted as width × height,: for example, "1024 × 768" means the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 pixels.

The total number of individual cores responsible for processing data and performing calculations on the graphics processor.

The maximum number of independent monitors or screens that can be connected and operated simultaneously from a single unit.

The size of the smallest components or the minimum feature size of the semiconductor manufacturing process, measured in nanometres (e.g. 7nm).

The amount of dedicated video RAM (VRAM) available on the separate graphics processing unit, measured in gigabytes (GB).

The type of memory used by the video card. Often a combination of dedicated memory (Video RAM or VRAM) and dynamic system memory is used. UMA stands for Unified Memory Architecture, and is a computer memory architecture that allows the graphics processing unit to share system memory. Other abreviations: RAM = Random Access Memory, SDRAM = synchronous dynamic RAM, DDR = double-data-rate.

Hardware and software that connects the main memory to the memory controller in computer systems. Originally, general-purpose buses like VMEbus and the S-100 bus were used, but to reduce latency, modern memory buses are designed to connect directly to DRAM chips, and thus are designed by chip standards bodies such as JEDEC.

The frequency at which the memory (e.g. RAM) runs.

The maximum rate at which data can be read from or stored into the system memory, typically measured in gigabytes per second (GB/s).

The physical or logical standard used for connecting the device to other hardware or networks (e.g. 3.5 mm or 802.11b/g/n).

The number of Mini DisplayPort interfaces available on the device for video and audio output.

The specific release version of the DisplayPort standard supported by the device (e.g., 1.2 or 1.4).

PPU (microprocessor) expansion card designed by Ageia to accelerate PhysX-enabled video games.

Device has an in-built TV tuner.

DirectX is a collection of APIs (application programming interfaces) for easily handling tasks related to game programming on the Microsoft Windows operating system.

A shader is a program used in 3D computer graphics to determine the final surface properties of an object or image. This can include arbitrarily complex descriptions of light absorption and diffusion, texture mapping, reflection and refraction, shadowing, surface displacement and post-processing effects. It is also used to refer to video graphics hardware units that run these programs.

OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a specification defining a cross-language cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 3D computer graphics (and 2D computer graphics as well). The interface consists of over 250 different function calls which can be used to draw complex three-dimensional scenes from simple primitives.

The version of the Open Computing Language standard supported by the device for heterogeneous computing (e.g. 2.1).

Indicates whether the device meets the hardware and software requirements to run virtual reality applications.

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections.

The version of the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection standard supported by the device to prevent the unauthorized copying of digital audio and video content (e.g. 2.2).

A dual-link DVI interface sends data over both of the DVI links to the monitor, and this is how higher resolutions are achieved. With dual-link DVI, a resolution of 2048 x 1536 is possible.
