About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2009. It is built on the Tesla 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GT216) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The GT 220 has 512 MB of DDR2 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 32 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 220 includes 48 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 625 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 GT 220 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, HDMI, VGA display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 58 W.

About the NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2008. It is built on the Tesla GPU microarchitecture (codename G96C) and is manufactured on a 55 nm process.

Memory

The 9400 GT has 512 MB of DDR2 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 9400 GT includes 16 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 550 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 9400 GT 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 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 50 W.
