It features 384 CUDA cores, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. It comes with a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface holding 1 GB (GDDR5) of memory but 2 GB (DDR3) variants will also be available from Nvidia's partners.
The card consumes low power with a TDP of just 64W, ameaning that it could be powered by the PCIe slot, although 2 GB variants could require a 6-pin PCIe power input.
The GTX 740 will retail for less than $100 and will compete with integrated graphics solutions and Intel Iris Pro 5000 series.
