AMD Radeon R5 340X (OEM)

The AMD Radeon R5 340X (OEM) is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2015. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Oland) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R5 340X has 2 GB of DDR3 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 16 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The R5 340X includes 384 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 900 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The R5 340X is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 65 W.
