About the NVIDIA GeForce2 Ultra GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce2 Ultra is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2000 with a MSRP of $499. It is built on the Celsius GPU microarchitecture (codename NV15) and is manufactured on a 180 nm process.

Memory

The 2 Ultra has 64 MB of DDR memory, with a 230 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 7.36 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 250 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 2 Ultra is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, VGA display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's power consumption. Using a smaller power supply may result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

About the ATI Radeon 7500 GPU

The ATI Radeon 7500 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2001. It is built on the Rage 7 GPU microarchitecture (codename RV200) and is manufactured on a 150 nm process.

Memory

The 7500 has 64 MB of DDR memory, with a 230 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 7.36 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 290 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 6 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 2 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The 7500 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 23 W.
