About the NVIDIA Quadro FX 560 GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 560 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q2 2006 with a MSRP of $299. It is built on the Curie GPU microarchitecture (codename G73) and is manufactured on a 90 nm process.

Memory

The FX 560 has 128 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 600 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 19.2 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 GPU operates at a core clock speed of 350 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 FX 560 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 30 W.

About the ATI FireGL V7700 GPU

The ATI FireGL V7700 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q4 2007 with a MSRP of $899. It is built on the TeraScale GPU microarchitecture (codename RV670) and is manufactured on a 55 nm process.

Memory

The FireGL V7700 has 512 MB of GDDR4 memory, with a 1,126 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 72.06 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 FireGL V7700 includes 320 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 775 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The FireGL V7700 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, DisplayPort, S-Video display connections. ATI 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.
