Summary
About the NVIDIA GeForce G100 (OEM) GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce G100 (OEM) is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q1 2009. It is built on the Tesla GPU microarchitecture (codename G98S) and is manufactured on a 65 nm process.
Memory
The G100 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 G100 includes 8 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 540 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 G100 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 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 35 W.
About the NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS (Rev. 3) GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS (Rev. 3) is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2010. It is built on the Tesla 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GT218S) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The 8400 GS has 512 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 8400 GS includes 8 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 4 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The 8400 GS 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 thermal design power (TDP) of 25 W.
