Summary
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2010 with a MSRP of $129. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF106) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The GTS 450 has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 902 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 57.73 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 GTS 450 includes 192 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 783 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GTS 450 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, mini-HDMI 1.3a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 106 W.
About the NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q1 2006 with a MSRP of $199. It is built on the Curie GPU microarchitecture (codename G73B) and is manufactured on a 80 nm process.
Memory
The 7600 GT has 256 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 700 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 22.4 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 GPU operates at a core clock speed of 560 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 12 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The 7600 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 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 40 W.
