About the NVIDIA GeForce 210 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce 210 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2009. It is built on the Tesla 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GT218S) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The 210 has 512 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 400 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 6.4 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 210 includes 16 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 520 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The 210 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, DisplayPort, VGA display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 31 W.

About the NVIDIA NVS 300 GPU

The NVIDIA NVS 300 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q1 2011 with a MSRP of $109. It is built on the Tesla 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GT218S) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The NVS 300 has 512 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 790 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 12.64 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 NVS 300 includes 16 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 520 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The NVS 300 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DMS-59 display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 18 W.
