Summary
About the NVIDIA GeForce 310 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 310 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2009. It is built on the Tesla 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GT218S) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The 310 has 512 MB of DDR2 memory, with a 333 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 5.33 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 310 includes 16 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 589 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 310 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, DisplayPort, VGA display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 31 W.
