About the NVIDIA GeForce 6500 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 6500 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2005. It is built on the Curie GPU microarchitecture (codename NV44) and is manufactured on a 110 nm process.
Memory
The 6500 has 128 MB of DDR2 memory, with a 266 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 8.51 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 GPU operates at a core clock speed of 400 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 4 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 2 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The 6500 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, VGA, S-Video display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's power consumption. Using a smaller power supply may result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
About the ATI FireGL V7600 GPU
The ATI FireGL V7600 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q3 2007 with a MSRP of $999. It is built on the TeraScale GPU microarchitecture (codename R600) and is manufactured on a 80 nm process.
Memory
The FireGL V7600 has 512 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 51.2 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 FireGL V7600 includes 320 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 600 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The FireGL V7600 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, S-Video display connections. ATI recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 127 W.
