About the NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2006. It is built on the Curie GPU microarchitecture (codename G71) and is manufactured on a 90 nm process.
Memory
The 7950 GT has 512 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 700 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 44.8 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 550 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The 7950 GT is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, S-Video display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 65 W.
About the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 Ultra GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 Ultra is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q1 2003 with a MSRP of $199. It is built on the Rankine GPU microarchitecture (codename NV31) and is manufactured on a 130 nm process.
Memory
The FX 5600 Ultra has 128 MB of DDR memory, with a 400 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 12.8 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 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The FX 5600 Ultra 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.
