Summary
About the NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GT GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GT is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2008. It is built on the Tesla GPU microarchitecture (codename G92) and is manufactured on a 65 nm process.
Memory
The 9800M GT 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 9800M GT includes 96 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 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 65 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2009. It is built on the Tesla 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GT216) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The GT 230M has 1,024 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 790 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 25.28 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 GT 230M includes 48 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 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 23 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
