Summary
About the NVIDIA GeForce 8100 (nForce 720a) GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 8100 (nForce 720a) is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q2 2007. It is built on the Tesla GPU microarchitecture (codename C78) and is manufactured on a 80 nm process.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The 8100 includes 16 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 500 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 GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 40 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
About the ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO GPU
The ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2007. It is built on the TeraScale GPU microarchitecture (codename RV610) and is manufactured on a 65 nm process.
Memory
The HD 2400 PRO has 256 MB of DDR2 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 HD 2400 PRO includes 40 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 525 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 HD 2400 PRO is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, VGA, S-Video display connections. ATI recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 20 W.
